Type of a scam Online Purchase
ELKHORN TRANSPORT EXPRESS, Paul ID is a fraud. DO NOT PURCHASE VEHICLES (ANYTHING) OR WIRE FUNDS!! You’ll kiss your hard earned money goodbye. Andrew Palace and company is fraudulent. This shipping company and their website pose as a reputable middleman that, ‘protects the buyer and seller transaction.’ These criminals hack email accounts and use email accounts as a disguise to act as the seller to buyers that inquire about online merchandise for sale (in this case 1965 Shelby Cobra Backdraft Replica SN 626) . Once you agree to a price with the so called ‘seller’ ELKHORN EXPRESS TRANSPORT emails you a purchase contract on behalf of the ‘seller’which looks legit. They then request you to create an account on their website (which initially looks legit) where you can track your shipment. Finally ELKHORN EXPRESS TRANSPORT requests you to wire funds to an ‘escrow’ account where the money is held. You so called have 8-10 days to have the vehicle inspected to then when the money is wired to the seller. Once the wire is complete that’s when all communication from them stops. Your hard earned money is gone forever with no return.
