I contacted a Honda parts seller on Instagram (@christopher_honda_accessories) about a set of White Rays TE37 wheels. His name was Christopher Chogan to my knowledge and shipped parts from Tucson, Arizona that he received for cheaper prices from Japan. He set the price at $600 so I sent that money through PayPal with the buyers and sellers protection option on. He said that because of that option it taxed the amount he received and would have to refund the money to me in order to sell them to me so I could pay him the appropriate price in full. This was on April 12th paid to the account of Devon Lawson. I then told him that before we went through another transaction I wanted a video of the wheels he responded with a deposit request due to the fact that removing merchandise from his warehouse for customers to view can sometimes result in damaged items that customers then wont pay for so he requires a deposit now. He requested $200 so I sent him $200 for a video of the merchandise and a confirmation that he had it. This was through PayPal on April 13th to an account named Italy Castle( @mamastonie2xxx). He then called me from a phone number +1 (513) 365-8194 which said Arizona. In the phone call he insisted that the payment didn’t go through on his end so I needed to send more. I told him I wasn’t going to do that so I wanted a refund. He told me that it couldn’t refund through PayPal and it wasn’t working. He then said that he called his bank and they told him that in order to have my money refunded I must pay him a portion of the money for the merchandise I’m paying for in order for it to be recognized as a business payment which then he could refund that transaction. He said we would have to do it through another form of payment because PayPal wasn’t working. At first he tried Apple Pay under the email [email protected] . It didn’t go through so he told me to cancel it. He then told me we had to go through cashapp under the username $davestone4044 to which I attempted to send $200. Cashapp rejected the payment and refunded my money because the account had been seen as a scam. I then told him I will not send any more money until my money is refunded and he then called me insistently claiming that his business is legitimate and he has a website (www.chrischoganautospares.com) as well as a massive amount of followers so why would he scam. He told me of how he’s able to sell parts for cheap and how he gets them and that it would make him an unreputable business man to do such things as scam. So then I asked him “Okay, how do I get my refund then? Once I get my refund we can continue and try to do business, or even just send me a video of the wheels so you can keep the deposit and we can go along with business as planned” he said he would send a video of the wheels but he wants to try and do this refund process first so that way I have all my money and I’m ready to just purchase the wheels in full. So I agreed to it and asked him how to continue with the refund process. He said he called his bank and they told him to try and go through Venmo to send another portion of money for the wheels to recognize it as a payment for merchandise so that way they can refund the money fully so long as it’s categorized as a business transaction for the wheels/merchandise. He tells me to send him $287.50 to the account user David Rios on Venmo (@David-Rios-562). I sent him this transaction on Apr 12th 2023 at 15:01. He then said that because of the caption I put with the transaction the bank didn’t recognize it as the product he was selling and therefore couldn’t authorize a refund for the transaction. At this point I was extremely skeptical and did not want to send him any more money but he insisted that this time as long as I changed the description and sent through friends and family, “NOT WITH BUYERS PROTECTION”- quote from Mr.Chogan, that the bank would recognize it and it would perfectly go through. So I agreed but this time I sent the $287.50 on April 13th, 2023 (11:48AM) to his account on Venmo (@gimmeyofknmny) but with buyers protection. He then called me screaming belligerently that it was my fault that this process isn’t working and that I’m messing everything up and he would just be able to give me my refund and do business if I could send the money correctly. At this time he still insists that his bank won’t authorize the refund because of the buyers and sellers protection due to the fact that it took out a fee on his end so the amount he told the bank that the wheels would be purchased for was not the amount they received. He then told me to send the same amount with the description of his choice and without the buyers and sellers protection turned on. He said I either send that or there’s no way he can refund my money and he won’t send the wheels because this “isn’t the way he does business”. After reviewing my options and trying to see what I can do I tell him that I’ll send him this one last time and if doesn’t work I’m done, he completely agrees so he tells me to send $300 because that’s what the bank tells him. So I send $300 on April 13th,2023 at 13:07 to the same account on Venmo. He then tells me that the bank didn’t accept it and they’re not seeing the money and telling me that the bank won’t accept that amount we have to try $287.50 again. At this point it was basically the same thing rinse and repeat of him insistently calling me and trying to walk me through as to why it’s not working and telling me that there’s no other way to get my refund unless we do this transaction, I ignorantly didn’t think to contact my bank already because they had closed around the time we were doing these transactions and I was at work so I didn’t really have time to call them. So I believed that it was my only option to try and send this money in order to get a full refund of all the money I had already sent him. In total I ended up sending him three more transactions of $287.50 to the same account on Venmo. One at 13:36, one at 14:06, and one at 15:02 all on April 13th,2023. After the final transaction I told him that I’m going to file a police report on him if he doesn’t refund me my money or send me the merchandise I had been trying to pay for the entire time and refund the excess money sent and he then told me that he won’t refund me my money and he won’t send me the merchandise I attempted to pay for because I messed the entire thing up and that he supposedly wasn’t receiving most of the transactions and the ones he did see were received his bank wouldn’t authorize a refund because of an error on my part. Since then I’ve attempted to contact all payment services to issue a refund for this scam. PayPal was able to refund me $200 sent to Italy Castle and venmo was only able to refund me one payment of $287.50 that was sent under the buyers and sellers protection option to gimmeyofknmny. In total after the partial refunds I was still scammed for $1450 with no merchandise received. Since then I also found out that this man runs another Instagram account with the same pictures and descriptions of items under the username @thursday_adams_honda_parts.
