Scam Description

The victim located the business online. He contacted the company and inquired about purchasing a container. The victim wired money to the company. After doing so, all communication with the victim stopped and nothing was ever delivered. I drove to the location on 9/10/24 and was told by one of the tenants that the business did not exist. Furthermore, I was told that numerous other subjects had been scammed. They would show up to pick up propane tanks and would then discover that the business does not exist.
