Complaint 39495 Details

On Sunday, I saw an e-mail for a 2010 Lexus 350 with 17,000 Miles, said to have come from Portland, Oregon, for the price listed above. Susan Bransford e-mailed me from Omaha, Nebraska, with the same MO-that is a recent messy divorce in Portland, leaving Portland for Omaha, NE, needing money, not having a driver's license, etc., and needing to sell her car. She said she had it with a PayPal Company, (Robert Fisher was the contact). Robert Fisher contacted us with payment instructions, said the car delivery would be included, we would have 5 days to evaluate it, and if not totally satisfied, we could ship it back, they would pay for it, and we would get the money back. We checked car facts, and the car was on car facts, as never having been in a wreck, in good condition, etc. Susan Bransford e-mailed us about 24 pictures of the car, along with the vin number, info. on the car, (a picture of it). On 11-22-11, I Bank of America wire transfered the money to a Bank of America in Boston, Massachusetts, as per the instructions, to Secure Tradning Deals LLC to Acct. 004634636011. Robert Fisher said that the delivery company would contact me on 11-23-11, with the tracking number, and date the car would arrive at our home. The delivery company never called, and when my husband called Susan, she said hello Frank, and hung up. We went online, and saw that there is a company called Secure Trading Deals LLC, in Boston, and made a copy of the certificate from The Commonwealth of Massachusetts, William Francis Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth, Corporations Division, tel # 617-727-9640. According to this certificate, Secure Tranding Deals LLC has an identification number of 001065057; addresses are 139A Charles St. # 273, Boston, MA 02114, and address of the Resident Agent is Incorp Services, Inc. 10 Milk Street, Suite 1055, Boston, MA 02108; names listed are Chris Mershon and Vanesas Papas, with their addresses listed as well. I hope we can recover our money. I will be filing police reports. Isn't this grand theft? Please let me know what else I can do to apprehend these monsters! Christine Freni
