I found this website on one of the local websites here in saudi arabia where it says that "We are a United States of America based Auto Exporter.

I contacted a guy name Michael G. Lampros as he is the sales guy there. We exchanged phone numbers and he called me and explained exactly what will happen and how will this transaction will be processed as he seemed convincing as the process is i pay 30% of the total value of the car and when the car arrives, i pay the 70%. I did that and i wired transfered the money to him on Nov. 2009 to his bank account and gave me a date as to when will the car arrive and also sent me a bill of lading after i insisted which seemed suspecious somehow. Waited for the car on the given date, and then an email comes from one of the guys name gregg who is handling shipping that there were 14 cars on the ship and 4 of them fell of the ship inside the container which resulted in damaging the cars and my car was one of them. Anyways, we exchanged emails with gregg, michael and a guy name william cox as he is the man behind the operations and at the end we agreed that the insurance money will be refunded on the 3rd of march. But i get an email after that saying that michael has been in an accedient and his legs are broken. I called him but no answer, emailed gregg with no reply and then also i get an email two days ago from michael saying that he is recovering from the accident and he will start working on the relocation of the damaged car and so on.
I've ordered two cars paid the 30% and i am calling those people to give me an answer for the where abouts of the car second but no one is replying.
Of course lots of things happened as well but did not notice that this is probably a scam took the 30% and off you go!
I have all their contact info, emails, even bank account no. And kept the emails for further references.
I am guessing that this is a scam and those three guys are one guy but i always give the benefit of the doubt.
More detalis can be given upon request.
