May 6

2100 block of Lyans Drive in La Cañada Flintridge, a woman reported that her son had found a vehicle in the classifieds and bought it as a “project car.” She contacted the seller who said he was serving in the U.S. Army and was currently deployed in Kuwait. He was using the services of a shipping company who would act on his behalf. The seller told the woman to deposit the payment for the vehicle into an escrow account and after the vehicle was delivered she and her son would have seven days to test drive and confirm the purchase.

The woman continued communication with the seller. She had been instructed to send the money to a Wells Fargo account, which she did. The beneficiary was C&A Automotive Warehouse LLC. She was told a company named Cross Country Freight Solutions would be handling the transportation. The woman received a bill of sale but became suspicious of the transaction and contacted her bank about the wire transfer to the Wells Fargo account. She found that account had been closed after she transferred the funds. She contacted the freight company and was told she was victim of a scam and they had discovered their company’s information was being used to scam people.
