Type of a scam Online Purchase
A woman was advertising her Mercedes SLK Convertable on AUTO TRADER. We responded to Auto Trader, where we then received an email from this woman who was going through a divorce, just received a promotion with American Airlines, and moved from Butler, PA to Detroit, MI. She had her car go through a 3rd party holding company (WMotors Freight) where seller said that the car would to ship the car and that there is no risk of fraud due to the “escrow” service offered through this company. We wired $10,500 through our bank to an escrow account. We NEVER RECEIVED OUR VEHICLE, never had anymore communication between us and the seller or us and the company!
