Type of a scam Online Purchase
I found a car online: https://cars.trovit.com/listing/1949-jeep-willys-wagon-with-chevy-43-engine.1C1U…⇄ and contacted the ‘Owner’ – Anita Brittain: [email protected]
She had Miana Auto Transport contact me, they were to handle both delivery and sale.
Miana had me do a Bank-to-Bank wire transfer: DBA ( Doing Business As ) Beneficiary: Stefan Kxxxxx Address: 4 Cxxxx Place, Edinburg, Exxxx, United Kingdom
Bank: HSBC Bank
Branch Address: 76 Hannover Street, Edinburgh, Lothian, Eh2 1el, United Kingdom
IBAN: Gxxxx 4xxx xxxx xxx 4xx SWIFT/BIC: Hxxxxxx Account Number: 8xxxx Sort Code: 4xxxx Note*: On the Transfer Concept you will have to write Ref. "1xxxxx". This formality is required to recognize your payment and start the delivery process faster.
The delivery of the car has not happened – the Miana website is gone and the same car has been relisted on the Trovit site.
