  I saw the ad on Facebook Market place which read $1.206-2007 Acura MDX 4WD 4dr Tech Pkg and clicked on it. I sent a message to the scammer through messenger asking if the car was still available and someone who appears to be a white male that works or is connected to (Dynamic Auto Works & Sales Inc) replied,,,,,Hi thanks for contacting me.For more information and pics please text me your email address. I sent my email address along with another message saying I would like to see the vehicle and got no replies .Not to long after, I get an email from someone who appears to be a white lady by the name of Olivia Parker who asked me my name, address and phone number which I gave to her or him Idk and they proceeded to send me more pics of the vehicle. To make a long story short , they send me info on how to purchase through eBay saying all I have to do is buy 6 eBay cards,load the cards with $200 each and send the info to (eBay through email!) No,not the eBay website but a direct email with all the info from the eBay cards so I did my research on the phone number given to me through email supposedly coming from eBay with the phone number 818-921-7064 for (customer support) and here I am. The address for Dynamic Auto Works & Sales Inc is 108-41 Merrick Blvd Jamaica, NY 11433 and there number is 718-883-1224. If this company has something to do with all this I intend to find out when I pay them a visit because I don't want this happening to others . What I don't understand is how this phone number been reported for fraud several times and still remains untouched! Does anyone know how to catch a scam artist? and if you do please email me the info,,,,,*******@gmail.com. I'm very sorry and sad for those who fell for this trick and that's why I took the time to write this because someone has stand up for whats right! Yall be safe and always do your research first.God bless.

  A person using the name Jim Beglin contacted me through Facebook messenger. He told me he wanted to buy my dress and he was going to give me more than I was asking for it to cover shipping costs. He sent me multiple fake emails that were supposedly from Paypal saying I needed to retreive tracking information from my package after being sent so I could use the tracking information to email paypal back. Here are email that were connected to this [email protected], [email protected] and [email protected] Emails always said words like secure or financially backed by paypal or something along those lines with paypal logos ect. After not seeing any money deposited into my actual account on paypal and not just listening to him when I told him there was no money in my account and I could not send the "extra" money that he sent because the "paypal" emails said he had to send me additional funds and that I could just send back the extra, immediately felt this is suspicous.

  Saw a car on Facebook for sale. I contacted the person which then sent me the email address. She sent me pictures of the car then told me that everything was protected through eBay. The next day I receive an email from eBay to complete the transaction to buy eBay gift cards and send it to them. Later in the day I receive another email saying I have to send another 600 because of insurance and that I would receive the money back one I get the car. After I said I didn’t have the 600 I no longer received emails

  Elizabeth Miller's nephew Mario Lanza on Facebook market place listed a 1996 Ford F150 for sale for her for $800 dollars. He had posted in the comments he was listing it for her. If interested contact her at her email address [email protected] Which my wife did. My wife told her she was interested in this truck for her husband. Elizabeth Miller through email instructed her to get eBay cards to purchase the truck. Elizabeth told my wife and sent her a picture of the eBay motors document showing the truck & Elizabeth's address and my wife's address to where the truck is to be shipped to. It showed the $800.00 my wife paid her on the document. Through several emails, my wife & Elizabeth communicated. Elizabeth ensured everything was legitimate. Also stating eBay motors would hold the money unit delivery of the truck and the 5 day inspection period was approved and signed. Elizabeth said everything was good to go and she authorized eBay motors to start the shipping process. She then said the truck should be to our address by Sunday between 2pm & 6pm. A day later my wife received an email from eBay motors she needs to pay $400.00 dollars for shipping insurance and the seller Elizabeth is to pay $400.00 dollars on her end. This was to cover the value of the vehicle being shipped. Elizabeth sent an email as well telling my wife she got the same email from eBay motors. Elizabeth than told my wife in an email that she had her sister go pay the $400.00 dollars. Elizabeth wanted my wife to pay the $400.00 dollars on her end and do the same way using eBay gift cards. That when we realized we just got scammed. My wife told her in an email she didn't have $400.00 dollars to pay for this insurance. Than my wife told her she wanted her $800.00 dollars back. No response for Elizabeth. My wife even tried the link for the eBay motors that was at the bottom of the invoice. No response either.This was when we knew for sure we were scammed out of $800.00 dollars.
