Looking to purchase a vehicle from AutoTrader.ca. Received an email from [email protected] (Michelle T Lefleur Paseo Alameda, 12,46023 Valencia, Spain) to arrange the agreement. I then received an email from [email protected] with the invoice to be wire transferred to a escrow account in Madrid, Spain. The account holder name was Andreea Laura Diaconita (Maria De Molina, 11,3B Castellano, 28006 Madrid, Spain). The vehicle was said to be in South Carolina and she (Michelle) moved to Spain to be with her family after her recent divorce and she did not want to take the vehicle with her. After I contacted eBay to determine if this was a valid invoice, I received many emails back confirming the validity of the email account. I did not know it was a bogus eBay account. I contacted DAS, the vehicle moving company, and they have no record of a vehicle to be shipped. I contacted the OPP and Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) yesterday. The money was transferred on Aug. 2 and the vehicle was to have been received today.
