“Jay” — full name Jayden Watters was selling “his” used Nissan Altima on Craigslist. I was an eager buyer, offered cash (Jay said that would entitle me to even more of a bargain deal), and on my initial test drive the car felt fine and the carfax report gave the all clear. Once I had the car home, problems arose immediately. Check engine light came on, and the accelerator did not respond at least 50% of the time which is HUGELY unsafe. I tried to call and text Jay numerous times to ask if perhaps we could work something out, but he had already blocked my number. Additionally, I did find it odd that the pink slip to the car was not in his name, and he had no proof of registration. In retrospect I should have taken more time to investigate but he clearly scammed me and most likely many others. He made up stories about his personal life to make things seem more real and approachable during our communication and transaction. I found items in the car belonging to many different names of people. There were way too many things that just didn’t add up and I wish I had realized the before it was too late.

Searching Craigslist for a web designer, I read a profile in December, 2019 and reached out. The guy sounded highly functional, freelancer, and since I know some stuff about web design, he told me exactly what needed to be done. It sounded like fast work for him and he wanted more money, but he would make me a deal to get started. I needed my personal website to be "responsive" or "adaptive" to multiple platforms so for example, if you pulled to a phone it needs to conform to a phone display. People do this all the time. We talked at length and I trusted him. He sounded busy. On 12/22/2019 I sent him $650 through Venmo, however he has not delivered what we agreed. Its not that difficult. It should take less than a few weeks (a lot less) for someone with his knowledge and the past 15 months we have talked at length on numerous occasions. I am trying really hard to be a nice guy. He is charming and he seems to understand what it takes to complete this simple task to convert my website to responsive design, however now that I think about it... one time, he talked about another client who is mad at him, but he uses "his work" or "deadlines" with other clients as an excuse. He has said more money could get it going faster and he does NOT reveal other projects he is working on due to privacy concerns. He keeps saying "this weekend", or next weekend, or to give him a week or two ...or just to the end of the month and he will have something to look at, and we talk at great length about what could be done but it's like Waiting for Godot! Goddammit nothing! For 15 months! I could have made the thing myself by this time, but I keep thinking "leave this to professionals". Part of me wonders if he is real or has this been a scam all along, which pisses me off even more. Venmo cannot do anything actionable out of privacy for him and I do not have enough information to deal with this guy myself, but maybe this is better.

I first known the scammer through Instagram :___fly[censored]only. His Instagram stories seemed very appealing showing bands of money people can make if they partner with him. he stated on his stories “who wants to make this money” and put a poll up saying “yes or no”. I said said and he contacted me saying when to meet up so we both can get our cuts. We met up and he explained in simple terms of what his business entailed. He stated that he buy people old bank accounts and makes profit by partnering with other ppl. he seemed so convincing and even showed me the cards of of another girl that gave it to him. I had 1,780 on my debit card I forgot to empty it out prior to handing it to him but it was too late. Later on he asked for my personal info like my last digits of my social, date of birth , password to my bank etc. he withdrew the 1780 and said he would hold it aside for me. Later he deposited 3,000 and then 6,000 . And then he withdrew it cash . I have the slightest feeling he’s laundering I’m not sure but I lost 1,780 and for Me being only ** is a lot. he later took counterfeit checks and attempted to deposit them my account . He also asked me to submit money to a cash app $lavishlord after depositing thousands of dollars into my account. I lost over 1,000 please help me gain what was stolen for me. Much appreciated.
