On February 23, 2023 I was in contact with what was supposed to be Drive Auto Parts to purchase a new engine for my car, I decided to go through with the purchase after talking to a man (don't remember his name), he had me send the $1000 payment via cash app, which I did. A couple of hours later he called me back and said that the engine was bad, it had low compression but they had another engine for my car, it was an additional $400, I told him to let me think about it. He called me back the next day and I decided to go through with the purchase, again sending the money through cash app. A couple of weeks had passed and I hadn't received my engine that was supposed to be sent from Jackson, Mississippi I called them back to find out what was going on, I was told it had low come so was never shipped. The whole thing about a different engine was apparently not true. Somehow they had to have gained access to my account because there were MULTIPLE other transactions that were attempting or that went through to add money to my Cashapp (from my bank) and some of the transactions were buying Bitcoin through cash app, I don't even know how that works. After multiple phone calls back and forth trying to get my money back they had me download an app called Any desk, this was about the 6th of April, they told me that by downloading this app, it would allows them to send my money back so I did, in hopes that I would get my money back and every time they had me try to request money from someone's cash app, they were somehow changed it from a request to trying to add money to my cash app from my bank, which didn't work because I got a new card. When the transactions weren't going through, the lady that I was dealing with almost constantly now tried to tell me that I didn't have enough money in my account to be able to receive the refund. I told her that I didn't need money in my account for money to be deposited into it, she tried to tell me over and over that they had tried multiple times to send my money back. I had a security warning come up on my phone and everytime it came up and I told her about it, her response was "I sent you the security warning". I then noticed that my phone was closing apps, making choices in apps on my screen and other things that I myself was not doing, I was not even touching the screen. While this was going on she tried to get me to open my banking app, they even pulled it up for me, I would not open it, I put in the wrong password on purpose and when I was denied access to my account she said "that was the wrong password, put the right password in and open up your banking", again I denied access. She then tried to get me to download Zelle, she said they would send my money back through Zelle. I wouldn't make any new accounts or do anything that had to have my bank or debit card info, as I figured out she could not only see but control MY phone and what it was doing. Last week I had $217 in my cash app and they had me open my cash app and they "tried" to send my money back again, this was not long after downloading Any Desk, when their attempts to send my money back failed, I ended the conversation and when I hung up, I got a notification from cash app so I checked my cash app, there had been Bitcoin purchased with the entire balance on my cash app and in a separate transaction, the Bitcoin was withdrawn (don't know who got it) I have the account number or something like that for where the money went. I have since deleted the Any Desk app and the lady called me today and tried to get me to download it again saying that was the only way they'd be able to send my money back, I told her that I couldn't put it on my phone anymore, she tried and tried to reassure me that she was "trying" to send my money back but when I didn't do as she wanted, she sounded all broken hearted as she was saying her goodbye. In that last phone call I told her that I had figured out they were just scamming me and I wasn't going to get my money back, that made her try even harder to convince me to redownload Any Desk "so they could get my money back to me", they have "extra money" in their account. Who has " extra money" these days?? I have looked the company up on Google and there are 4 or 5 reviews from different people saying how they got scammed by this company, Drive Auto Parts

Scammer promised to supply Toyota engine i need for $400. I was talking to J P and some other people from this company. When I finally paid Zelle ($400) they told they didn't receive money and asked to use CashApp and I paid another $400. It was late and they told that tomorrow engine will be sent. Next day J called me and told that engine can't be sent because I paid twice and they need t refund first. To refund they told I need to install on the phone or PC (Team Viewer Quick Support) control software. I told that this software have nothing to do with refund. It become clear to me that J want to control my phone or pc to get to bank account - I've seen such stories on youtube. After I denied to install teamViewer J told me he can't refund and will not deliver engine

I looked for a used transmission on Facebook Marketplace. Various places advertise and I responded to them thru FBM. They send a response to call XXX (a different number for each one). When I called each, someone with Indian accent responds with yes, we have one is stock.

The lowest price I got was $420 from "A J" from Drive Auto Parts and starting on March 13, 2023, the story begins. BTW, everyone there speaks with Indian accent, of which I am familiar and can recognize.

A said he has one for $420 with a 12-month warranty, free delivery. He asks me to go to Zelle and send the $420 to C D ([email protected]), which I did. He then asks me to take a screen shot of the transaction both from Zelle, and my bank confirming the transfer, which I did (stupid of me) and send to him thru text at (512) 572-2577.

Next, He said he needs to transfer me to someone else to confirm the transaction and transfers me to "R D" who asks me to go to the App Store to download an app. That's when I knew it was a scam. I said no, there is no need to download an app. He said he couldn't accept the funds unless I download the app, and when I said no again, he said OK he will transfer me to someone else to help.

The next guy was even more hostile, but started by saying he can help. He asks me to go to Zelle again and go to 'Request' and type in $420 and hit send, which I did. He then said to go back to Zelle and go to 'Send' and type in $420 again. I said NO because I already sent $420 and confirmed by both Zelle and my bank as deducted. (too late for me). He said because the first $420 didn't come thru, the 'Request' would be a refund and would arrive in my account in 1-2 days and I need to send the money a second time. So, instead I sent $0.42 just to test that they actually did receive the first money. When he said 'sir, you only sent $0.42, I need $420' I said that I see this is a scam and I'm not going to send more money. He said in that case, he cannot help me and hung up.

I immediately called Alex, and he said he already sent the invoice, and the transmission was getting tested and would be shipped later that day. An hour later he calls (by then it was after 6pm) and said the first transmission tested bad, but for another $250 he can send me a tested good transmission with an 18 month warranty. So, for the next 1.5 hours we went round and round about not giving him more money and I want my money back and him saying over and over that in order for me to get my money back, I need to download an app from the App Store called AnyDesk, which is a remote access tool, giving someone complete control over an appliance (PC, tablet, phone). I kept refusing and so we hung up after 8pm.

He called the next couple days with the same story, either give him more money or download the app to get the refund. As of today's call, he even suggested I call my bank to get my money back, but that's not how Zelle works, so I am out $420.42. Could have been worse as I'm sure others keep sending money thinking it's a glitch in sending.

Please investigate, shut them down, get them arrested and thrown in jail. If you need more info, please contact me.

I have a copy of the invoice but can't get it uploaded thru this website.

Thank you.

Promised a used engine, said it would arrive in one business day. Made the payment waited for testing papers and tracking number never got a response. He assured me he had a business cashapp and it was totally legal, even sent me the pic of the engine. He had me send verification of payment to his whatsapp. When I got a hold of someone hours later, told me the engine testing was bad and they had another engine for $125 more. I said no just refund the money, they played on the phone after. Asked me to download quick support app to have access inside my phone. I declined and he said If I didn't he would not refund my money, I downloaded but declined him access to do anything, he asked me to go into cashapp which was method of payment (to avoid paying taxes on product he said) he wanted me to link my bank account back to cashapp, I declined because I added money to cashapp so i should not have to link it again. He persisted to sell me a newer used engine I declined he informed he was the senior manager. And he started taunting me and hanging up calling me names and verbally abusing me. I canceled the payment which was all done in the same day and now cashapp is saying they cant refund the money.

I called again, spoke with anew person he asked for my cashapp numbers I said all you need is my cashapp tag or telephone to refund the money, he said I should just cancel it, I'm getting the feeling that it's the same Arabic people doing this.

The cashapp name was R>>>l but the phone spokesperson was Henry, an Arab named H>>> should have been my first clue.
