Complaint Review: Mantis Auto Consignment Sales

 Like other reports previously made, I found a boat on the internet that I really liked and I've contacted the email address. I was advised by a mr. Joseph comes from Chester hatch engineering that the boat was being sold through a consignment company and I would have to deal with them. I contacted mantis Auto Consignment Sales and they provided documentation about the boat and that I was to wire the money to them. Like an idiot, I'm wired a $9,500 to the company for purchase of the boat. Previous to sending the money I checked the internet and various rip off report and found no negative reports on this company. I was slightly uncomfortable but made the payment anyway. My next received a bill of sale and notice that the boat would be shipped on Friday and delivered to my residence on Monday by 3 p.m. I was next notified that the boat was delayed for delivery due to an emergency for the first stop of the delivery truck. I then received a second notice that the truck have been involved in a crash and I would be delayed again for another day. Three days later I noticed on the report that The boat was not repairable or sellable and therefore my money was to be refunded. They notice stated that I would receive payment refund in 1 to 3 business days. This is the third business day and I have not received any funds yet. I do not expect any funds but if for some reason I do receive return payment I too will contact and retract my report. At this time I find the company to be a total scam and it reported this to the FBI, Capital One bank, and Camden National Bank.
