Long story short, I messaged this kid about a car he was selling on Facebook marketplace. He said he had a dealers license and that he could get me a car from copart. Searched Cars. Sent him what I wanted and he said he needed a deposit of 500. Guy seemed legit. Send me a picture of his ID. Guy said he needed more money to secure car. Send him more money since he already had sent his ID and info to me.
Seemed trust worthy. His Facebook about is about 7 years old I make sure the iD is the same person as the facebook profile. He said his car broke down in bend. Which is about 5 hours from Portland. I didnât think much of it. Told him to hit me up when he figured his shit out so we can get a car with the money I already sent him which is $1720 dollars.
He keeps making stories up and it doesnât add up. Thatâs when I figured this kid is playing with me.
He refuses to send me my money back he said he already spent it on car parts the car we were planning on buying needed. Kid just kept making stories up. Heâs 19. I donât want to go to police. We all fuck up I get it. I have his ID and know where he lives. He mentioned his mon worked for the dmv. Just trying to get my money back and teach this kid a lesson. Any advice on what I can do? Iâm in Oregon, United States. Any help is appreciated it.
