I attempted to purchase a vehicle from David Goranski or Luigi Reno or whoever this person is and was scammed. Countless emails were written and sent including the fake emails from Square Trade. I was trying to buy a 93 Toyota Supra for $6000.00. I was told that he just moved to the U.K. and lost his job and needed money. (A situation I have delt with twice before that was genuine)
He claimed that the costs to have the vehicle brought over and registered would be more than he could afford, which they really are totalled around $10, 000 in USD, and needed to sell it quick. I was instructed through the fake Square Trade emails to send the money Western Union, to speed up the process, to Square Trade and their "Representative" would handling the transaction. A Luigi Reno at 55 Whitchurch Ave. London, HA86H5 United Kingdom. Two days after the last email, I realized I was scammed.
Unfortunately, all the information given to me about the car was credible. The VIN number given to me was indeed for a 93 supra located in the same city and state as he said it was... Stockton, NJ. Even the links and web address from the sender claiming to be Square Trade, sent me to the Square Trade site. This also included the Trust-E Seal link at the bottom right of the Square Trade site.
Please Beware and contact a site to verify all information given to you before you continue with any transaction. Otherwise you'll end up $6000.00 short, like me.
