Internet Fraud

[Soundcontrol]

I'm forwarding a warning that my shipper recently posted on FB.

I would like to caution all of you about internet fraud.
I am working on a fraud helping a friend.
A friend back in Sweden bought a car on a internet site here in US. The car was paid for by wire transfer to a what seems to be a legit company. A very informative web page and very professionally done. It all seemed to go well in correspondence with the seller and the transport company until it was time to deliver the car. The car never showed up at the port when it was supposed to be delivered. He has contacted the seller with no response.
We have contacted authorities with no luck at all.
I just want you all to know that this happens a lot here in the US.
So make sure that you are a contacting a reputable agencies to help you out with your purchases.
Feel free to contact me with any questions you might have and be safe.

This is the company:Gelston Transport - We serve you all around the world!

Should use a escrow company for a purchase from Craigslist, if not bought in person. Especially for someone overseas.

These horror stories is why unless I can look at and test drive a car I am buying or if someone else buying from me you hand me cash or else I won't take a chance.
