Alvaro Cervera Magallanes/ AMC Auto Imports took 33,000 Dlls from me for Van and after I transferred the money to him I never heard from him, then I discovered he uses other names. This person does this for a living since there are more persons complaining about the same reason.
This guy and company is complete scum. We gave him $35,000 in April 2022 to deliver a VW Bus Food Truck and it is now 9/21/2022 and he is no longer returning calls for the past few months. His businesses names and emails are:
AMC Auto Imports
Kombi food truck design

I wish I would have saw your message earlier. We are pursing a lawsuit…someone needs to stop this scumbag!
Here’s our story
Mr Alvaro has not delivered on the mobile food truck even though he said it would be ready by April 2022. I’ve reached out to him several times and is no longer replying. He initially asked for a $12,000 deposit to get started. Since this was a custom conversion project I assumed the deposit was a fair request. After a few days he said I wrote the check to his company Kombi and the bank wouldn’t clear funds and that the check will bounce back. He told me that I need to have funds deposited to get the truck going. So I deposited another $12,000 assuming that the original check would bounce back. After a few weeks of going back and fourth and 3-way calling his bank. His bank confirmed that both checks cleared and Mr Alvaro didn’t realize it cleared. At this point he had $24,000 of cash. After a week or so he called me and said he has bad news. He said the body show is not able to fix the current roof and that he needed to procure a new VW bus to get the roof off of that bus to get my done. He said he didn’t have the funds to buy the new truck and it would really help him if I gave more money to help get the new truck so he can pay the auto repair company and buy the new truck. I had a horrible feeling about it but paid $11,000 more. Now it’s 6/30/2022 and no truck and Mr Alvaro has stopped responding.
