FRAUD ALERT FOR CLASSIC CAR AUTOTRADER.COM ALIAS BEN KIMMICH
So then I start Googling his address, his name, his cell number provided and I came across another person with a car for sale on Autotrader.com! Who was sent a counterfeit cashiers check! And was almost scammed for $3000 shipping fee to Oregon! Be VERY AWARE, IF SOMETHING SEEMS SKETCHY, IT PROBABLY IS, NO one is going to send you that much money and not have the car in hand! I have notified Autotrader of his shenanigans.. and they are reporting this to their fraud department
in the other fraud transaction he used email address [email protected] see the report dated July 2, 2024...
I researched using 32 N Gould St wy and these scammers have been scamming people for many years and no one has put a stop to these scammers yet. I don't understand why this haven't been stopped by now. They have so many fake websites. It's unbelievable, how much money they are withdrawing illegally from all these hard working citizens. My bank may refund my money but I'm not 100% sure on this. I would love to catch these evil scammers.

A scam story: Secret shopping and fake checks
By Emma Fletcher

Scammers need a good story to get to your wallet. Once they find one that works, they use it again and again. One of their old favorites brings together fake checks and secret shopping, and we’ve been hearing a lot about it lately.
Here’s how it starts. You get a check in the mail with a job offer as a secret shopper. You deposit the check and see the funds in your account a few days later, and the bank even tells you the check has cleared.
Now you’re off to the store you’ve been asked to shop at and report back on, often a Walmart. Your first assignment is to test the in-store money transfer service, like Western Union or MoneyGram, by sending some of the money you deposited. Or you might be told to use the money to buy reloadable cards or gift cards, such as iTunes cards. You’re instructed to send pictures of the cards or to give the numbers on the cards.
Fast forward days or weeks to the unhappy ending. The bank finds out the check you deposited is a fake, which means you’re on the hook for all that money. How does that even happen? Well, banks must make funds from deposited checks available within days, but uncovering a fake check can take weeks. By the time you try to get the money back from the money transfer service, the scammers are long gone, and they’ve taken all the money off the gift cards, too. (By the way, money orders and cashier’s checks can be faked, too.)
The moral of the story? If anyone ever asks you to deposit a check and then wire or send money in any way, you can bet it’s a scam. No matter what they tell you.
