Description

I found a jeep on autotrader for $15000 and contacted the seller (sunday evening). He got back to me on Monday morning explaining to me that he was selling the jeep because it was his son's who had died from Covid a year ago. He asked for my name address and phone number so he could give it to Albion Logistics who was to be the broker in this case. They contacted me with request for my drivers liscense SSN and selfie. They sent a contract which looked legit for me to sign. Iwas approved and sent via email the information on how and where to wire the money, which I did. I was later trying to show my friend what kind of a jeep I was getting and when I pulled up photos on my phone I realized they were stock photos of the jeep I was supposed to be getting When I got home I started poking around on the internet and found the name of the guy who is supposedly the CFO of the company, Anthony Behles, as named in a scam and thats when I realized I had been scammed and started to look for what I should do. I am in the process now of filing this report and trying to freeze my accounts and credit information. I also counldnt find an information on the man who was supposedly selling the jeep, Karl Ikard. No record of him. I found out that the email he uses, [email protected] is a site that keeps your data private. I have all the emails and the bank statements if you need it.
