Victim Location 44060
Total money lost $25,000
Type of a scam Other
My husband found a car on cars.com. He contacted the seller [email protected] After recieving multiple pictures as well as the vin number, they decided on the sale. Ivan told my husband to contact Dan Nilsson at Hashi freight ([email protected]) to arrange payment of the vehicle/transportation from Minnesota to Ohio. A delivery date was chosen. Contracts were signed. Monies were wired.
The delivery neared and all contact stopped. Neither guy was reachable by email or phone.
The delivery day came and went.
$25,000.00 gone. No car. We notified the bank but it was too late. He called the police. We contacted the FBI. We hired a lawyer. Cars.com is not responsible and these 2 guys are in the wind.
And now we’re paying off a 4 year car loan on an imaginary car. It makes me sick to my stomach every time I think about it and so angry when the car payment comes due.
