2006 Lexus 400h – Mark Gilger $21K Stolen in AUTOTRADE (MSNAUTO)Scam
I had saved up about 18mths to come up with the payment to purchase this car off of AutoTrader. Got an email first through Yahoo from this xxxhole, Mark Gilger (or who ever the xxxhole is). He then followed up with a phone call RUSSIAN ACCENT. Told me that he wanted to do the transfer of funds throught MSNAUTO Trust account with a buyer protection program. SEnt me a copy of the title Sebring FL, and the Car Fax and everything matched so I thought it was ok. THIS WAS ALL A BIG LIE. He put together a webpage that should make anyone working for MSN dig a hole and jump in it. The page came with the MSN LOGO and Header and was from support@msninc.com. Shame on MSN not giving a xxit about their copy writes or patents. They set up the Fake Trust account with the Barclay Bank in London in the name of MSNAUTO. I guess you can set up an account in the name of JACKXXX if you want and the banks don’t really care. So based on the help given by the “Live CHat” fake support team of this A-hole, Micheal, Nicole and Nadine (most likely all the same person) walked me through the process to get ScreXed over. At the end they recommended I take the information THEY provided and go to my bank BOA and have the banker there help me give them my money. So I took a copy of the email from the fake Support@msninc.com giving me the helpful step by step instruction to my banker at BOA. Who kindly assisted me in giving theses SCAMMERS my hard earned money. Confirming the transaction and account the money went into MSNAUTO. Shame on MSN.
Once they got the money and they were notified by their bank they had my money. Then they were suppose to ship the car. This Mark Gilger was going to give me the name of the shipping company and tracker number and did 24 hours later. I called the number and some asian speaking women (sounded like she was calling from a fish bowl) confirmed the car and address and apx. time it would be delievered.
Meanwhile, I had an out patient service being done and when I got home found out the car had not been deleivered yet. I emailed this low life that I thought I bought this car from and he said the car was not coming until the next morning (Saturday). NO CAR SATURDAY. So I called my banker at BOA and she was leaving for the day and said she would take car of it Monday Morning. FAT CHANCE. I contacted the local police filed a report in which they filed with Intrepoll (international police coorspondence) and WEst Minster police. They could do nothing. Buy the time BOA got their act together (4days) from notification the beneficiary of the account (Mark the XXXhole) had my money. Later after reading on this site found out the same week through the same bank this THEVING piece of CXXP. Took another 38k from a women and 24k from another man. You would think when the bank started getting these large deposit over a 7 day period they may have held the money a little longer. If I get a check over 10k my bank holds it at least 5 days.?? I am talking with an attorney to see who to sue, my bank or MSN or even AUTOTRADER. Anyone reading this if you would like to jump into this action let me know.
