    A guy in Europe, who sent me photos of himself with a claimed passport showing the name Markus Maximilian Wetschka, using Whatsapp phone number +43 660 998 7888 sold me a Lamborghini Gallardo gearbox and I was about to buy 2-3 sets of Ferrari seats from him when things started to get fishy. Suffice to say, I sent him thousands of dollars and despite promises and excuses, no tracking numbers nor parts have been provided. Its just one excuse after another. I'm posting this here so folks have some warning and are not duped the way I was and so that he doesn't rip off any more people. I'm attaching the images he sent me. Caveat emptor! :(

    I don’t know the process for this, but you might consider reporting him to the FBI who will probably refer it to international authorities….provided you can convince them it’s a criminal, not civil, matter.

    Thanks for the warning and good luck.

    He can try to buy 99.99999999999% of the time the FBI will do nothing about scammers unless it's tied to terrorist activity or exceeds 1 million. They need a headline

    Looks like an Austrian soccer player, could be an identity theft or a career change...

    Thanks for posting and very sorry this happened to you.

    You can try contacting the FBI, but with agents getting fired, good luck with that. :(
