Stan Auto Sales (Daniel Forsberg) aka f5 auto, Sapa Auto & Moon Auto Reports & Reviews (34)

Received the same email from a Peter Bateman stating he was working for Weatherford International and the vehicle was his recently deceased father’s. This was after responding to a Cars.com ad for a 1997 Landcruiser. Of course I didn’t wire any money but I’m still playing along via email.

Wow sorry to hear about all this. I’m here because I also saw the 456 for sale and I knew immediately it was a scam because I’m the one who actually did buy it, and it was in Seattle. He clearly copied the ad right off craigslist and just added his own flair. So I opened an inquiry about it to see what I got back. He wrote and offered more pics, no hard sell right off so I asked for pics of the underside, since I knew he wouldn’t have those lol, and the second email had the red flags in it. But having said that I recently went to look at a car where the seller was “just moved out of country” and mom and dad taking care of sale etc, but it was legit lol.. Man I’m just sick for you guys though. I’d be gutted. Is there any recourse to getting anything back?

So glad I found this site!
Saw a great deal on a Ferrari 456 on cars.com did the inquiry and received the following email:

Sorry for my late reply but I am out of civilization and my connection is bad.
I am working overseas with Weatherford International and I don't know when I will return because of this corona situation.
The car is located at the auto broker in Seattle, WA, crated and ready to go. The car belonged to my father that recently passed away.
I propose to close the deal through an auto broker, in a safe and easiest way possible for both of us. The payment will be sent to their account, they will keep the money until you receive the car. After delivery, you will have a 7 days inspection period before you decide if you wish to keep it or not. I will ship it anywhere for free if you are ready to buy, that means no loans.
Comes with a clean title, manuals and service history records. No accidents.
If you are still interested please let me know so I can provide you their phone number.
VIN : ZFFSP44A4S0101836

Email address was [email protected]

I’m shocked that cars.com doesn’t verify things like this

Oh chit. Just now learned about this from a car buddy. I fell for it hook line and sinker. Wired out $15,850 on Tuesday for a 78K mile '97 Land Cruiser that was crated and ready to ship through Maverick Auto Sales out of Seattle. Seller was Peter Bateman...who's father owned the car. Car Fax report shows the vin and vehicle out of Louisiana. How do I get in line with the rest of you?

After receiving calls from Seattle about the bogus 1965 Mustang they were trying to sell. I got a call from Philly 1+ 215-849-3635. I was lucky enough to discover that YELP was not a valid recommendation. Their Seattle address was really a software design firm, which was clever. The Philly caller hung up, I was not answering the calls from Seattle. Good luck nailing these creeps.

Thanks to all for posting. You popped up when I Googled "Peter Bateman Weatherford" (not on LinkedIn which is odd).

They are still up and running. Using the same story with nearly identical language (too lazy to change it up I guess). Currently using [email protected]. Selling a 2005 Land Cruiser for $18k.

This is the email sent to me by this Peter Bateman (feels very legit, but apparently is a scam):

Definitely a scam company,scammed out of $30500.00 dollars. Not over yet! For more [email protected]

My case is like copy and paste of your cases. The same off shore worker, who's father passed away ... and broker F5 auto Sales can sell his car... The very same story. I have contacted FBI agent today and he asked me to tell all of you to fill in form on following web page: www.IC3.gov complain. More victims filled in, more power. Please do it. It takes 10 minutes. Cyril.

I’m in this with you. My “seller” said he was off shore and said he worked for Halliburton. I’ve gotten their HR team involved (leveraging) and will file with the FBI. I’ve also got Chase Fraud working on it for me. I was purchasing a wedding present for my husband. These people need to be stopped!

i'm so glad i found this page
everything seems to good to be true , i am trying to buy a boat and i saw one i like on boat trader so i sent the guy "Arthur" an email asking for details , he even sent me pictures of the boat and thats what he said to me

Hello Ricky,
Let me say that the Nautique Super Air Nautique G23 is available for $34,700.
One of the cleanest Nautique Super Air Nautique G23 for sale anywhere. 2016 with only 60 hours. One of the best all around driving boat you can buy.
A Totally Rust, Corrosion And Flood Free Vehicle. Never been in any accidents. Clear title.
Where are you located?
If you have any further questions please do not hesitate ask.
Don't let this beauty go away !

I have attached a full set of pictures for you. Please check them.
I'm sorry for this late response but I was out of civilization and I had no internet connection. I am working offshore and I don't know when I will return because of this coronavirus. The boat is located at the auto broker in Seattle, WA stored inside and ready to go. The boat belonged to my father that recently passed away. He was the second owner. The boat, the title, two sets of keys, manuals and some service history records is what you will get from the auto broker. I arranged for the sale right before I left, so all set on my end. I propose to close the deal through an auto broker, in the most safe and easiest way possible for both of us. Basically, it's similar to buying a boat locally, the money will be sent to their holding account, and they will keep the money until you receive the boat. After the boat is delivered, you will have a 7 days inspection period before you decide if you wish to keep it or not. If you are serious about buying the boat, I will ship it anywhere with no extra cost. If you want to move forward please contact me back so we can get the ball rolling.

I found a 2014 Jeep Wrangler listed for sale on a website. As I contacted the so called owner of the Jeep I was referred to his “middle man” a “broker” in which would be selling the vehicle. That would be Stan Auto sales. I was in touch with a “Daniel Forsberg” where I agreed to purchase the Jeep. I was sent a bill of sale, with all the info on the Jeep to include the VIN number which I did a report on and it checks out at the exact Jeep listed. I signed the bill of sale and returned it via email where then I was given the info on where to send the money via bank to bank wire transfer. I gave that info to my bank (Navy federal) where then they did a wire transfer to their bank (Capitol one) after money was given I have not heard anything back from “Stan auto sales”, “Daniel” or the original guy who I was in contact with who was the so called owner of the Jeep. The Jeep was never delivered and now I am out $17,000 to include a $10,000 loan I owe the bank in which I took out to purchase the Jeep at a total price of $17,000

Please help stop these criminals. They have even gone so far as to, somehow, manipulate their Yelp website. If you try and post a review in order to warn others...it will post to another unaffiliated business. I have contacted Yelp but by the time they get around to doing something, they will have changed their name AGAIN! The one constant in this is DANIEL FORSBERG!

Wow! I was scammed out of $12,500.00 by Daniel Forsberg at Stan Auto Sales in Portland, Oregon. I found a truck on Cars.com that was perfect for my son and emailed (thru their site as suggested) the seller Peter Bateman. He replied and sent additional pictures. He said he was working with Weatherford International (a real company) and truck had belonged to his father who had recently passed away. Well, that just hit home with me because my husband really did pass away June 13, 2020 and he had a small amount of life insurance I was using to buy this truck for our son. I feel so stupid but it seemed so legit. So they have used Moon Auto, Sapa Auto, Stan Auto and now they are F5 Auto Sales in Seattle, WA. Those are just the ones I know. They only use the name for 3- 4 weeks so they have new victims before any bad reviews are made public. I found them on Cars.com again, emailed them from a different account and that's how I know they are using f5 auto sales now. I have filed with the local police, FBI, FTC & BBB but trying to find someone who cares...forget it! I thought if the crime was actually in progress they would jump onboard but NO! THESE PEOPLE NEED TO BE STOPPED AND PUNISHED!

Same thing happens to me on 9/7/20. I transferred $15400 for vehicle I never received and never answer emails ,phone calls!

I got scammed. Everything "seemed" in order. Dr Robert Ballard was a seller of a car I was interested in. Plenty of pictures. I googled him and he appeared to be legit and leaving soon for a contract with National Geographic. He said car was wrapped and ready to deliver with Stan's Auto Sales in Portland. He suggested that Stan's could facilitate paperwork and delivery. I wired the money and thats the last I heard from anybody. Attempts to reach Stan's agent...Daniel Forsberg...have been unsuccessful.

hi andy sorry to hear that , they did the same to me

First thing you should do is contact your bank. They most likley have a fraud examiner that should be able to assist you. Second thing you should do is contact the FBI. Here: https://www.ic3.gov/default.aspx Let us know how you make out by reposting on this site. We need to put an end to these scammers.
