Type of a scam Online Purchase
Contacted a fraudulent seller that posted on craigslist a boat for sale that was being handled through a "trusted" third party service by the name of Auto Zatic Depot. Their web site shows locations in Los Angeles, Miami, New York, Vancouver BC Canada, and London England. They even had fake reviews for Auto Zatic Depot when doing a Google search. I have found the same ad in other markets that craigslist like Denver CO.
The wire transfer went to a Bank of America branch in California under a corporate name that is registered with the Florida Department of Corporations. They use these State of Florida Corporate credentials to set up a fraudulent bank account in banks like Bank of America.
I was scammed and will do everything that I can to warn others of the advanced scam. Do not use or trust Auto Zatic Depot or their fake reviews. They are a total scam.
