Type of a scam Phishing
I was tricked into signing the title of my car to Brent Allen. He told me that once I signed the title that the finance company would cut a check for $8.000.00 for my 2009 ES Lexus VIN JTHBJ46G892283409. He took possession of my Car in July 2019. The agreement was that he would sale the car "as is" and I requested to net $3,500. I sent a customer to him willing to purchase car "as is" for the $3,500. He was going to pay me. Mr. Allen discouraged this transaction. At that time, he had agreed that after one month that he would return the car to me. He decided to make the repairs and sale the car to a finance company for $8,000 to get a better profit. He has since asked me for additional money to pay his mechanic. He wanted me to meet an unknown person and give him $1,000. I told him I did not have $1,000. He them asked me to deliver to this person, at an identified site $500. I declined. At this point he has my car and my title. I went to the Police Department. I was told that the car was still in my name
