James Alex & Rita Ivy
Complaint 27020 Details

I had a pickup for sale on Craigslist. Mr. Alex said he wanted to buy it for $8,000.00. He was away from home and wanted to buy it for his family and was going to have a transport company pick it up and deliver it to them. The transport co. needed $650.00 wired to them before they would pick up and deliver. Mr. Alex was not close to a Western Union store. He said he paid Pay Pal a total of $8,650 so I could wire the money to the company. Pay Pal wrote me that they had the money and would hold my payment until I sent the MTCN # to them and they would release the funds to my bank account. I sent the wire transfer to the name Mr Alex gave me (Rita Ivy )They gave an address of 5838 S Carpenter Washington, Indiana, 47501, but I did not get any money transfered to my account. Now - Pay Pal and Mr. Alex say the company wants some Insurance money($962) before they will release the money and then pick up the truck.
The Pay Pal emails are bogus, I checked with Pay Pal, They have no record of anytransactions except the bill I sent to Mr. Alex for the original cost of the truck($8,000).
The emails addresses from Pay Pal were from: [email protected] on behalf of PayPal Services. (transaction [email protected])
The email address for James Alex is:[email protected]
They are still trying to get the $962 from me. I keep telling them I will send it when they send my original $650 I had already sent.
