Ebay Motors Or Ebay@motors.com (a Counterfeit) "aka" Went By Reid Hutson. My Money Was Received By Blanca Contreas (a Real Person) Victim of fraud!"Fraud Protection"? Ebay does NOTHING to help! My $ Was Wired To West Covina, CA

1st off, I am happy to actually have found this site. Talk about feeling all alone for the past 9 months. I too was DEFRAUDED by the counterfeit Ebay Motors too. Yes, the story is very similars to a few others listed here. I am on here to assist others, God Willing we can be united & fight these "%'s" together. The FBI will not open a case unless it is $75K. Well, lets start adding are losses up! Mine was for $8,500. $8,600 $17,000 $%? $%? $%? $%?

Do not get hung up on the ALIAS & AKA'S!!! The fact is it has to be coming from the same source. The names, stories, vehicles & vin #'s may all be different. But the same format is being used.

In July my car was totalled, so I went shopping on Ebay Motors (naive, 1st timer) a white 2004 Jeep Wrangler, item # 330144861715. During the bidding process, my bids were being cancelled, thus reserve not met. VIN #1j4fa39s14p777131. Yes, I did a car fax, showed up as Arizona, I googled the sellers name & it seemed to be a likely story, mileage was off though. Later the police ran the VIN & it was not titled to a state.

Steps I have taken & or recommend:
#1 - ask your bank management to stop the money & retract & or request it back
#2 - file a report in the city where the money was wired from.
#3 - file a report in the city where the money was wired to.
#4 - go to IC3 complaint. Ic3. Gov (FBI's online fraud department)
#5 - compile evidence, make a binder for all of your records, take notes, print copies of everything, save in a computer file too.
#6 - DON'T GIVE UP! & PRAY!
#7 - contact your local TV news media
#8 - contact you local secret service, economic crimes division
#9 - contact Ebay via email, they have a phone # for law enforcement only!
#10 - have law enforcement get the records from Ebay
#11 - what account did the money go into? Likely the name of the person is spelled slightly different? Find out what you can about who it might be, ask the police of that city to check with bank manager & inquire if they can assist. Otherwise they will have to Sopenia the records. FYI: some states may reject other states Sopenias. See if they got a video or picture of the act of withdrawing $
#12 - file a report on here & reply to mine. I will try to help you, if possible!
#13 - might be a good idea to get a diff checking account if $ came from there. Bank needs to leave it open if there is a chance for wire will be returned
#14 - notify carfax, maybe: carfaxstories@carfax.com??? Or try & speak to a real person!

Details of the scam:

I sent email to seller, asking questions, did not hear back. After the "reserve not met" and close of auction, I got an email from seller asking if I was still interested, I replied & the next notice was CONGRATULATIONS, I WON..., and invoice with instructions for payment. My payment went into a real persons acct, Bank of America of West Covina, CA. All along the seller was aka Reid Hutson, but acct holder was a female. A police detective got info from bank manager & visited her. She came up with a stupid story on where the $ (my money) came from. Was she arested? Nope. She even told him she'd come up with some $ to give back? I continued to wait for action to be taken in CA, then I got redirected back to Northern KY. Tomorrow evening the local News station will run the story / interview was from this summer. I am hoping that my local "DA" will pursue.
