He posted a truck on cars.com for 12000.000 a 2006 ford f150 lariat we contacted him and he told us how to send the money and that he was using a ebay account that would protect both of us from fraud. I did what he asked had a money wire sent to him for the money and we got a email from him and ebay saying the truck had been shipped. We didn't get spooked until he changed the day the truck was surpose to arrive.I called my bank to pull back the wire they contacted the bank(Chase in New York and told them it was a scam and they said they had to ask him to release the money back to us and he said no (Of course) so they called today and said they are closing the case i really don't understand why they would do that without checking all the evidence first. I need to report this to someone i called the police and the attorney general office in New York but no response. Can you tell me what can we do or just let it go it gone.

  • Wow,thank god for this post. I was searching for a car on the autotrader.com about 5 days ago, when I came accross this guy " robert sandford". Only thing, this time he was selling a 2004 honda accord for 2,800. He spook me this morning, after talking to him this long, it same as if the car wasnt getting sold, whil telling me that its first come, first serve. On top of that he told just put $2000 so he can get the paper work started... After that, I googled his ass, and where I found this page before I made a payment.
    Im sorry for your lost, but thanks to u, I didnt fall a victim of this scam.
    Thanks again

  • He has a new name now Gulum Williams and he is still with the same squadron out of Lackland AFB but his phone # changed 1 digit and he is selling an Airstream RV. Here is his post:

    2005 Airstream Safari - $10000
    Excellent Condition. A/C w/ heat pump, forced air heating, new tires, rear queen, dinette, fantastic fan, lots of storage, clean trailer, must see.

    Here is his email:
    Hi

    Sorry for the late response.The safari trailer is still available.I had a buyer but his loan did not get approved. The final price is $10,000 so if you are still interested please let me know asap.

    Gulum Williams TSgt, USAF
    341st TRS/Det. 12
    DSN 325-3721

    It was under priced by about $18K and that was the first flag and when I ran his name in the Squadron...it didn't show up, flag #2. I am sorry for your loss but thanks for posting what you did.

  • He currently has the same 2006 Ford F-150 Lariat on cars.com under the name Steven Howard.

    "Hi,

    Sorry for the late response but I work in the US Air Force, I am in DGT training mission now and it's very hard for me to reply faster. I wanted to let you know that the truck is still available, I had a buyer but his loan did not get approved. The final price is $12,000 so if you are still interested please let me know asap.
    This 2006 FORD F150 Lariat is a real 'head turner' and it will make you proud.
    Let me know if you have any questions or if you want more photos, info and details about the truck.

    --
    Regards,

    Steven Howard TSgt, USAF"
