Complaint Review: Elite Global Lines

I found an ad for a 2007 Honda Goldwing Trike for sale for $5800 including shipping. I bit on the deal. Gary Kaufman was supposedly in London, England but said his wife in California would handle the shipping. Elite Global Lines informed me that I had to wire the $5800 to a bank in England and once accepted the bike would be shipped.



I wired $5800 to Elite Global/Daniel Molnar IBAN GB02BARC20926373273830 London, UK NW17PJ. The Beneficiary Bank was BARCGB22, Barclays Bank, 193 Camden High Street. My wire transaction # was FW-0065627-213-581450.



Once all this was done Elite Global Lines and the supposed Gary Kaufman said the bike would be delivered on 10 August 2011. Well needless to say it didn't happen and I was scammed/Thefted out of $5800.



I have all the emails where I communicated with Gary Kaufman as well as Elite Global Lines. I also have pictures of the bike I was supposedly buying.



I know this is a dumb thing I did and I am probably just out $5800 and a expensive lesson learned but there needs to be some way to track these scams taking advantage of honest, trusting people.
