I am not sure if this is the right forum but this seemed to be the most viewed. On the 22nd I sold my Jeep to a gentleman who after 2 days of haggling and test driving the car and calling and texting me a bunch of times came and paid me with a Bank of America cashiers check. The check cleared on the 23rd. This morning I look at my account and the amount I deposited had been removed from my account late last night. I had a buddy run the license of the guy who came and picked it up. The # does not match the name or picture. I left out of the country yesterday until the 4th so th bank will not release any information over the phone nor will the cops take a police report. Meanwhile I want the VIN listed incase its still sittng in a PORT somewhere waiting to be exported or trying to b re registred. So here are pictures and picture of the guy. I am waiting or my security company to extract the HD footage of him in my office completing the deal .

Its a 2012 JEEP Wrangler Unlimited Black With Roof Rack with 2 20" LED light bars

 

I should also mention they said they were from west palm and called and texted from west palm #'s picked up the jeep from my warehouse in Doral and headed east on 836 is the last location my sun pass got charged.

 

Man that totally blows! What did police say? How can the bank remove the deposited $ money? What did the police say?

 

and you say it was deposited by you . cleared means funds were available and was then in your account. it cant be taken out unless you took it out or consented to it . Otherwise the bank is liable most likely The whole story sounds kinda strange
your now out of the country ? during a time your jeep is stolen ? cops cant do anything and bank cant , ?

If a bank check clears its in there . Unless you have another who can make transactions with your consent .

his mug shot looks honest no? Its kind of your own fault for not looking into who the person was and if he really did live there before handing the keys to your vehicle and accepting a check lol You dont just take a check and hand keys over because the guy showed you a drivers license
* what makes you think its being exported out of the country ?
although your vehicle is in front of a transportation trucking co. in your photo .... If you hitch hike maybe he will pick you up and you can get it back



btw its not a car

 

this is the oldest scam in the book. No different then the Nigerian scams. It is written on a fake bank check or cashiers check which is what they all do. They bank does not know they are fake until they don't clear. It happens all the time. the safest is either cash or a wire transfer between banks. The bank will not take the hit the person cashing the check will, just the way it works. this scam has been around for years because people automatically think a cashiers check is legit even tho they are easy to counterfeit. It takes 5-10 days for a check to clear so by the time your bank finds out it is bogus the suspects are long gone. I have sold lots of motorcycles and I only take cash as if a person can get a legit cashiers check they can just as well get cash.

 

would accept a cashiers check lol i mean com on . if it ain green it aint seen counted at bank so they can check the bills to see they are real

 

That sucks man.... What's the VIN number?

Now you know because you sign the papers now the jeep is he's and is super difficult to catch him just look updates on the bin number to see if he sold it or something like that



Post the vin number

 

The bank is not liable bro.

 

You said the cops won't take a report? Why not??

 

I think FL only takes reports in person and by the owner only
