I was looking for Skid Steer on Craigslist and reached out to someone whose contact # was 510-470-1781. He told me he was helping sell it for his sister and to contact her at [email protected] I did and she said was going through divorce needed to sell and had carried it to local shipping company JMK LOGISTICs in BIllings Montana and they would act as an escrow company and would send the machine and I would have 5 days to accept or deny the machine. I told them I would fly up to see it personally but they said the owner had to be present and the supposed owner lena said she was an airline stewardist and would not be back until end of month. So I was stupid and wired the money. They even had me sign a docu sign and sent me confirmation number. But once I reached out for tracking number they started ignoring my calls and once I got through to them with a different number and they got the confirmation number they hung up on me. I have over 30 emails and all the wire transaction detail for proof. I was stupid and sent $10,500

Saw a local facebook post about a 2015 Land Rover for sale in Kenosha,WI. wanted 15K asap as she is going through a divorce and needs to pay debt asap. She cant meet in person because she works for American Airlines. so she hired JMK logistics, and said I only have 2 hours to wire the money. I asked for vin and tried calling the number she gave me. They quit contact as soon as I asked those questions, I am not stupid so I got that this was a trick.
This is her email
Sure, you can verify with JMK Logistics, they already verified all my info. I forwarded your info to JMK Logistics and just got an email back, saying that invoice has been issued. They also sent you the transaction agreement that has to be signed. The order ID number is JMK-RRS417838. You can use the ID number to check the transaction status on their website, https://jmk-logistics.net. Also, if you need additional help you can call them directly at: 406-272-0226. Please reply me asap and let me know if you received it, so I can know if everything is all right. Hope we can finish this transaction asap. Thank you!

Gina, I’m working for American Airlines and I just got promoted and transferred to a new airport, so I won’t be able to take care of the deal in person. Due to the fact that this is a large transaction I picked a local company (JMK Logistics) to manage and handle the transaction, so my presence is not necessary. The car will be delivered from Billings, MT (there is now stored) directly to your address with all the papers you need for ownership transfer and you will have a 5 days period to test and inspect the car. After this 5 days period you will inform JMK Logistics if you want to keep the car or not and ONLY if you agree to keep it they will transfer the money into my account, if not you will get a FULL REFUND from them within 24 hours. The contract with them includes free delivery and also if you refuse acceptance of the car. I will be responsible to cover the costs to bring it back. This is not a blind transaction, you can physically see the car before committing to buy and to eliminate any concerns. What I recommend is that we have them to send you the paperwork, so you can see for yourself how it works and be able to contact them personally. In order to ask them to fill the documents I will have to provide them your full name, address and phone number, so if you are interested please get back to me with those info asap. Hope we can do business, thank you!

Hi, I’m glad you are interested in my SUV, it’s still available for the price stated in the ad, $15,000.00. It is a 2015 Range Rover 4WD Supercharged Long Wheel Base powered by a 5.0 V8 Supercharged engine (510 HP). it has 57,412 miles. The SUV is paid in full, no lien/loan or any outstanding debts and I have all the documents, manuals and service records since was new. I guarantee it’s been well maintained and ready to go anytime! I own the SUV because of my divorce settlement and I’m selling it because I have some urgent debts to pay and also don’t need it, so I’m trying to get rid of it as soon as possible. As I’m in a big hurry to sell it I need a fast and reliable buyer, so please let me know if I can rely on you on this deal, I don’t want to waste our time if you are not determined to buy or you don’t have the funds available.
