Total money lost $21,000
Type of a scam Online Purchase
It started with an RV on Craigslist. No phone was provided so I emailed. It took a couple of weeks and I received an email response from a Michael A Corbett acting as the seller. He states he has consigned the RV with TAS, or, Tritech Auto Sales Group. He sends a lengthy email about the condition and provided links of where to contact Tritech. Supposedly Tritech handles every part of the sale along with shipping and I’m covered by a 7 day return if I’m not satisfied. I was able to online chat on the tritech website but couldn’t ever get anyone on the phone. The website is absolutely amazing and had to cost a pretty penny to create. It’s also https secured. My bank was even impressed and told me they wished all online transactions could be done this way to know you are safe and covered!! Long story but I lost 21 thousand dollars. My bank wired the money to a Wells Fargo account in Fort Lauderdale Florida. By the time I realized there was no RV, my money had been taken out and is gone. They had ways of stalling the delivery and ultimately ended up telling me there was an accident involving the shipping of the RV and they were working on refunding my money.
