Scam Description
Mr. Charles Reid (the contact from Classic On Movement) was contacted by Mr. Anthony Williams via phone on 05/17/2024. https://www.facebook.com/classiconmovement – Mr. Williams found a vehicle he liked on the Facebook page and asked Mr. Reid for the price, $11,000. Mr. Reid suggested using Swiftuniversal Logistics.com to ship the vehicle to Mr. WIlliams. Mr. Williams agreed to pay $5,500 as a down payment via wire transfer. (Act #5364109851, Routing: 054000030 PNC Bank – Account Name Anwan Mbah). This payment got held up because the bank froze the account due to suspicious activity. After 1 month, the $5,500 was returned back to Mr. Williams. During that 1 month time frame, Mr. Williams had also paid an additional $7028 dollars ($1000 paid Walmart to Walmart, $6028 paid by Bitcoin) to Hasaan Golden, who identified himself as an agent for Swiftuniversal Logistics.com. Mr. Williams was told by Mr. Reid that the vehicle was being held up by the logistics company due to a finding of 37 pounds of cocaine in the vehicle and Mr. Reid asked Mr. Williams to help him pay the $8,000 needed to get the vehicle out of holding. Mr. Williams denied Mr. Reid’s request. Mr. Golden told Mr. Williams that he would send him a check to return his funds due to the cancellation of the vehicle. They have since contacted Mr. Williams constantly coming up with reasons to attempt to collect more money. Mr. Williams is out $7028 dollars in total and never received the car or the refund.
