2003 Toyota "I WILL FIND YOU AND YOU WISH U WERE NEVR B

[simplegrinn]

My friend found a car on craigslist sent email letting the person know they were interested in buying the car. They then sent this web link http://www.expert-car-web.com for him to go and do a registration. Which he did and then they sent carfax with vin#, Lic plate# and Title# along with pictures of car with speedometer pic with the mileage on it.

Then they called and explained how to pay for car. My friend then went to pay money with a money-Gram. When got back to house checked web page and they showed payment was made. Sense this was done web page is gone along with his money, But I happen to have copies of web page and emails and called DMV in Florida and everything checked out on the car except for the name of owner and it has no clear title. Called company that gave the loan and they are waiting for me to send a fax from our local sheriff office and they will release owner information.

I have a feeling the owner may be involved!!

If you can offer any help please let me know.

The website is in our database http://www.escrow-fraud.com/fraud_data.php?id=5374 and appears to be suspended. The fraudulent layout has been used 159 times before: http://escrow-fraud.com/images/sites/Layout35/

Your friend can say bye bye to his money. Why didn't he read the warnings at http://www.moneygram.com/EN/ConsumerPro ... C=US&LC=EN before?

There has never been a car and of course there is no car owner. I'm pretty sure the fraudulent website was setup with fake data / identity theft and a stolen credit card.
Your friend was scammed by romanian gangsters.

There's nothing he can do, his money is lost. Sorry.

First of all I was able to do some checking of the title# and Lic# and it appears that the owner is out of FL. and there is much more evidence and information that leads me to believe the owner of the car is involved.

I don't think so.

It is typical for this type of scam that the scammer obtains this information from older (legit) ads. So this particular car probably was indeed for sale some time ago and the scammer answered the ad requesting all the data.

I've seen this quite a number of times. The original owner never had anything to do with this.

This is exactly the car that I saw on craigslist. When looking at the scammers website it looks exactly like http://www.best-car-sales.com web site now. jerry.graham5@gmail.com is the person who emailed me today and was using this "escrow company" to sell toyota for $3800 because he really needed money.

If it looks too good to be true - it probably is.

THAT IS THE WEB-SITE!

I've contacted the Washington State Licensing Bureau, they are not licensed for any of the three states. I knew in time they would come back. Also contacted FBI Office they were trying to locate the web site and it was gone.

the website is "born": Registration Date.... 2008-07-04
of course registered with wrong personnel data
she is hostet on yahoo.network
