Complaint Review: Auto Demag Consignor Inc

I saw a Craigslist Scam Ad for a boat that was posted in LA, CA. Seller Dr. Anna Farrington from Portland Oregon. Emailed back and forth with Anna. She sent me additional facts and pictures of the boat. She said for both of our protection I would have to register with Autodemag.com as they are a broker selling the boat for her. Its being stored in a warehouse in Oregon and they will ship for free within 1000 miles. I first google Autodemag to see if its a scam and all I see is rave reviews from other people and how positive the buying experience was with them. There website is slick. It prays on your insecurities of buying on line.

Then cam time to wire them the money. It was to a Vazoy's Corp on Wlshire Blvd in LA. Both or our banks were the same Wells Fargo. I wire them the $11K for the boat and get confirmation within 48 hours that they received the payment. All the time you can enter your purchase ID # into their slick website and see exactly whats the status of your purchase. The day final comes where the boat is going to be delivered and I get an email the day of saying that due to a shipping issue with another delivery my boat delivery is being delayed another 72 hours. Fast forward 72 hours I get another excuse email saying the boat is being tied up with local authorities over transportation regulations. At that time I new I was scammed.

I went down to my bank tried to do a wire recall for the 11K but they cant do that without a court order. The bank Manager was able to look into their bank account and he said wow their is alot of money being trabsferred in and out of this account. The bank account was opened in New Jersey. I report it to the IC3 which is the FBI internet crime division and I call the local police as well. These criminals will get caught one day. I hope they all fry.
