Complaint Review: John Belvin High End Auto Transport

Fraud Complaint

            My name is Ayodele Akinola living in Reno, Nevada. On Tuesday May 12, 2015, I hired the services of John Belvin; phone number 305-906-0434, disguising as High End Auto Transport, to transport a vehicle I just purchased from Jeffersonville Indiana to Miami Florida. Without suspicion of any fraud, he requested me to send a $350 deposit out of a total charge of $440. John Belvin insisted that I used MoneyGram or Western union. The $350 deposit was sent to John Belvin via Moneygram, to Salem North Carolina, as he requested, with Money Gram reference number 25948669 on Tuesday May 12, 2015. John Belvin collected the money via MoneyGram in Salem, North Carolina (my guess, and I am sure he presented an identification to MoneyGram). On Sunday May 17, 2015 at 4:50pm, I asked John Belvin for an update and he responded at 5:41pm “ok first thing in morning.” Failing to update me in the morning of Monday May 18, 2015, I contacted him at 3:20pm asking for a status update. He responded at 4:32 pm that “I will have a status in the morning.”

No status update from him on Tuesday May 19, 2015, I called him severally on Wednesday May 20, 2015, no answer or return call. I called back again at about 6:23 am on Wednesday May 20, 2015, but he immediately replied back “I’ll call you right back” twice in a row. Since I didn’t hear from him by 11:47 a.m., I sent him this text message “John, the vehicle have not been picked up. I don’t understand this type of service. You’re not picking calls or giving updates. At this time, I want to back up on this transaction. Please refund my $350 deposit immediately on or before tomorrow May 22, 2015. If not my attorney, and your local police department will be contacting you on this fraudulent transaction.” He did not respond. I sent another text at 11:59 a.m. intimating him that I filed a fraudulent transaction report to Money Gram. He responded at 12:03 “refund is in the mail.” I told him I wanted my refund via the MoneyGram channel I sent it through, but he responded the money is in the mail.

            Until now (May 28,2015), I have not received any refund. Even if I do, I will turn the check in to my local police department in Reno, because I do not trust that fund will be available. Further online investigations on this name revealed a complaint on Ripoff Report; www.ripoffreport.com for Millionaire Movers, report number 1153320, involving Tim Sullivan in a similar transaction, reported by Ami O in Charlotte, North Carolina http://www.ripoffreport.com/r/Millionaire-Movers/Charlotte-North-Carolina/Millionaire-Movers-Luxury-Moving-Specialist-At-this-point-I-will-be-taking-legal-action-1153320 I am guessing this is the same Tim Sullivan I received an email from; who acted for John Belvin. Obviously, they are in the business of fraud together. A caller id on my phone revealed John Belvin’s 305-906-0434 number as Lola Isaac, revealing that it is also known as Millionaire Movers. He also stated in a later text to me on informing him of telling the police that “Mansion Movers of Florida is who they are.”

I have attached;

• a copy of the MoneyGram paperwork
• Wal-Mart receipt I was issued from MoneyGram transaction, when I sent the $350 to John Belvin, and
• a copy of the contract I received from Tim Sullivan for John Belvin

I have no doubt that numerous Americans would have been defrauded by these guys. Every attempt to stop their dastardly acts and bring them to justice will be appreciated.

The FBI needs to get involved before John Belvin and Tim Sullivan defrauds more people. The address used to collect the Moneygram is:

John Belvin/Tim Sullivan
