Total money lost $35,000
Type of a scam Romance
Met "Scott" online. Retired from Army leaving Afghanistan for London. While trying to leave for US, he was detained by customs. Supposedly carrying 24 gold bars and needed $35,000.00 for taxes and diplomatic escort to get gold out of London Customs office. "Customs Director" contacted me to send $35,000.00 and wire it to an account at BB&T Bank owned by Classic Auto Brokers LLC in Jonesboro GA and indicate the purpose was Goods Purchasing. I foolishly did so and now I am out of that money. They used their business account to facilitate fraud. There is no paperwork supporting I purchased a vehicle from them. And I want my money returned to me.
