I was purchasing a car for my son's graduation that I found at https://cars.trovit.com/used-cars/chevrolet-camaro-transformers-edition which bounded me to https://sslclassifieds.com/listing/2010-chevrolet-camaro-transformers-edition/?u...⇄ which bounced me to cynstarlogistics.com where I sent an email to make an inquiry to Engr. David Noel, ConocoPhillips <[email protected]>Mon, May 1, 6:38 PM (9 days ago)to me "Hello, First of all, I apologize for this late message. I work on an oil rig with limited communications and thank you for your interest in my car. This car is gorgeous and draws a crowd of admirers wherever it goes. It starts, runs, drives, shifts, brakes, handles, and sounds excellent. This is truly a great investment - climbing in value every year. The car is truly amazing from top to bottom, inside out and mechanically. Never been in any accidents and has a clean title. Where are you located? If you have any further questions please do not hesitate to ask." This turned into my own investigation and 30 emails and 10 phone calls to make sure they could deliver the car before my son's graduation. I was told there were other buys getting financing and I said I was a cash buyer, to which they said first come first served. I did some additional checking and it looked real, so I sent a wire transfer on May 4 from a local Navy Federal CU and called Steven Downey at Cynstar Logistics LLC to confirm I had sent the money. Steven Downey called me back to let me know they would verify funds at BofA and then would set up the delivery date and time. So far so good, I thought why else would they call me back to verify? Now I know it's to buy time for them to bounce the funds from bank to bank. So a few days went by and I did receive another call saying the car is being scheduled for delivery and I'd get a specific time on Wed. May 10. Steve Downey (if that's his real name) was very sincere and convincing saying they'd do their best to get it there before the graduation. So Wednesday came and no calls or emails and no replies to mine. So now I'm getting nervous and my wife and I did some additional digging, then I found this https://www.bbb.org/scamtracker/lookupscam/707514 where someone in TX just posted a complaint and now I'm thinking I've been a victim of fraud. So I contacted my credit union to reverse the wire and the FBI IC3 Fraud Complaint at https://complaint.ic3.gov/# in hopes they could stop the funds before bouncing around then it's gone. I hope this helps others. Now I've learned you can go to https://www.domain.com/whois/whois/ to see who the domain is registered to and what country they are in. You can then copy and paste the Registrant information and do a web search to tell you if this is not a reputable site and if not, you should stop immediately. Here's what I found on cynstarlogistics.com and https://sslclassifieds.com :

Lessoned learned. Now I'm getting spam calls from someone saying they are from my credit union wanting to follow up on my fraud claim and wanting additional information. These crooks have the ability to "mask" the caller ID so the number that pops up is your bank!! Buyer beware when buying on-line. Hope this helps save some else from this type of scam.</[email protected]>

Went to SSL Classifiedshttps://sslclassifieds.com/listing/2010-chevrolet-camaro-transformers...⇄ had several emails back and forth with David Noel, said he was on an Oil Rig for CononcoPhillips, sent me pictures of "his" family and additional photos of the vehicle. Searched for any scams and didn't find any till today. Called Steven Downey and spoke with him several times, and all seemed good. Then once I asked for the VIN number and it was given to me, I sent the transfer and was to have 7 days to have my mechanic check it and test drive it. This is the email I received: We are contacting you regarding transaction #1936660952 which was initiated by David Noel. We have attached the Bill Of Sale for your transaction. You have to sign the Bill Of Sale and send it back to us. You can return the signed document by email at [email protected] or you can just send us an email back that you have read and accept what the document states.

For payment we require a bank to bank wire transfer and we will be able to issue the invoice with wiring information after we receive back the document signed.

If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact us. We look forward to hearing from you!

Thank you,

Steven Downey,

Sales Manager

Now the phone number seems to still work, but no answer. I called my bank to start the fraud process to Bank of America. Now I'll have to file a police report on Steven Downey and David Noel, ConocoPhillips Cynstar Logistica, and SSL Classifieds.
