Posting for a friend. He saw a “dealership” (essentially a resale lot selling cars to English speakers) posting on fb about a car they had in stock in the Yokosuka area . Long long story short my friend proceeds to buy the car written contract and paperwork work to follow all looks legit he sends him 48000 USD. Car that he has in stock falls through, the dealership trys to find a similar car with no luck. A couple months pass and still no car is delivered, at this point he just asks for his money back. The responses from him now become slower and slower, he eventually sends 1,000,000 yen stating that the bank they have has a daily limit. A couple days pass and still no more money has been sent he states that he doesn’t have the money with no explanation. Then goes ghost. Hasn’t responded to him in a week, is still posting cars for sale. Come to find out dude has done this before has a whole fb page dedicated to people that have been scammed. Has anybody been in a similar situation? Know a fraud lawyer in the area we don’t even know where to start.
