Complaint Review: Larry Mallery

Hello, my name is Mark U and a couple of years ago I was scammed by this guy when buying a sea-doo. I reported it to the FBI and never heard anything back and now I have found you guys. It all started on ebay and he eventually dropped ebay when he was recieving the wire transfer. I lost $4000+ and have found more info on the internet on more people that have fallen into this trap. I have the emails saved and here they all are, it starts from the bottom up. Sorry about all of the carrots, I can't fix it.

Hello Mark,

Yes, the life wests are new. I will be able to confirm to you on Monday regarding the cover but I think I can get you one, no problem.

Keep in touch,
Larry

Hello Larry,
The life vests sound great, I need a couple of new ones also. I was just wondering about the cover because I was going to get one otherwise. Thanks a lot, Mark

Hello Mark,

Indeed the jet does not come with a cover but I will see if I can get you one. When the jet arrives somebody must be at the shipping address to sign the papers. I will contact you on Monday to tell you if I have found a cover for the jet. I can also include in the shipment 2 life vests.

Hello Larry, I have a couple more question, I don't think that this jet comes with a cover, but let me know either way. I was also wondering if there are any other accessories that I should know about that are included, and will I need to take off work to be at my house when the watercraft arrives? I suppose there has to be papers to sign and so on...
Please let me know, Mark

Hello Larry,

Well, I just sent the wire out of Rite Aid in Ottawa,Ohio at 1:30 our time. The tracking number is 864-794-4036. I was also wondering with what company you would be shipping the sea-doo and trailer. I assume I will need to be at my home to sign for the shipment. Thanks again for everything, let me know if there are any problems or you need further information.

Hello Mark,

Thank you for your shipping details. I will reserve the jet and the trailer on your name.

Also very important, to avoid paying high commercial charges for this transaction, at western union don't tell them that you will be making a commercial payment because they will charge me with 15% from the total amount and you will be paying higher fees. Tell them you are sending the money for a close relative of your because it is free of any commercial fees. This way we will avoid all the unnecessary commercial charges for this transfer. It will be in our best interest. If you will help me avoid these commercial charges I can offer you an extended warranty for no additional cost.

Hello Mark,

The jet is in perfect condition and it has no hidden damages. It has around 10 hours of normal use. In case you will find it being not as advertised (scratches or dings etc) you will receive a full refund.
You will receive the title for the jet in the same shipment along with a bill of sale from me as proof of ownership.

I can offer you a trailer for it for no additional cost.

Let me know if we have a deal on the unit. I will need your shipping address to set up the shipment.

I will be sending the jet from Athens,Greece.
> > > > > >
To complete this transaction I will need your shipping address (including your phone number) to prepare the shipping forms. You will have to find the nearest Western Union office, or I can help you find the nearest office (send me your home address) and make a wire transfer on my name and address. After you make the wire transfer, please email me the tracking number of the transfer so I can check if the funds are there.

Here are my details for the transfer:
> > > > > >
First name: Larry
Last name: Mallery
Address:
Street: 112 Panepistimiou Ave
City: Athens
ZIP: 10678
COUNTRY: GREECE

After I will receive your confirmation I willstart the shippment and you will receive the jet in 5 working days. You will cover for the wire transfer fee (which is aprox. 3-4%) and I will cover for the shipping, insurance and handling charges.

I saw your watercraft on E-bay and $4000 dollars cash sound like a deal to go to be true. I would be glad to offer you $4000 cash with free shipping.
