RAISING OF INVOICE AND PAYMENT AND ACKNOWLEDGE RECEIPT
On March 24, 2021, I transferred Eight Thousand, Seven Hundred, and Twenty US dollars ($8,720) to the Salvage King, an auto dealership in salvage cars in respect of payment of 2017 Toyota RAF4 (Salvage). The details are as follows:
- 2017 TOYOTA RAV4 LE SUV (SALVAGE
- CHASSIS No: JTMWFREV0HJ131114
- ENGINE: 2.5 LITER 4 CYLINDER 176HP
- MILEAGE: 26,555 MILES
On their website, https://www.salvage-king.com, there is an option to transact and buy the car via WhatsApp number, +1 561-639-3484 with one Eric, a Sales Person. When we agreed on the price of the car, the Salvage King issued an invoice including details of their bankers to transfer the fund to the salvage king. I then used ASIMALEX Company Limited, a company I have a financial interest and transferred the fund to the Salvage king’s account at Branch Banking and Trust Company in the US. The Salvage king subsequently acknowledged receipt of the funds and issued a receipt.
Subsequently, I realized that on their website the car had been marked ‘Reserved) to indicate that they have closed business on that salvage car.
POSSIBILITY OF FRAUD FOR LACK OF INFORMATION ABOUT THE CAR
After the payment, I inquired from Eric, the Sales Rep from the salvage king to know when would it be towed to the port for shipping but he indicated that the rest of the business is not in his hands – He then referred me to the shipping unit at Salvage King with the following WhatsApp number +1 786-505-0795.
Following up on this, I chatted with a lady with the shipping unit which she gave me specific conditions to follow i.e.: She told me to allow 5 days for delivery from the warehouse to the port and additional 3 weeks for customs clearance (about one month waiting period). She indicated that after that a dock receipt and bill of laden would be issued to me to track the car on the ship to Tema, Ghana. I was also advised not to call or send a message every day asking for the status of the car until the waiting period had elapsed. Definitely, I followed that advice and after one month period, I sent a message asking for the status of the car and she replied to the message that the car was at the port and she will give me a dock receipt: however that was the last time she came online –she never replies to any of my messages again.
I was shocked to realize that no one from salvage king is ready to respond to any of my messages again, so I decided to do Whatsapp and telephone calls, but there is no response. Also, I used their email address, [email protected] as alternate means to reach them but there are no responses. I have done all within my means to reach them but to no avail. It is worthy to know that from March 24, 2021, to June 1 2021 is more than two months and I do not have even a dock receipt of the car.
I think that they have done the settings on their Whatsapp phone in such a way that they may read my messages without me being detected i.e the double ticking on the Whatsapp sent messages never turn blue as if they have not been read.
I tried another method to pretend as if I wanted to buy another car from them but they realized it and decided not to respond. However, my phone automatically downloaded certain information which may be useful to you i.e. Alex Rudsky, Salvage King ([email protected]).

Please kindly, help me to apprehend them if they are not genuine people as I am frustrated and the car is supposed to be given to my brother.
After the waiting period, all that information I needed from the Salvage King was to reassure me that they are on course as I know that perhaps the COVID 19 pandemic has caused a significant delay in doing business.
I got an unsolicited email from Salvage-king.com, advertizing their vehicles. I did an online review but did not see any negative reviews on Salvage-king. I started a negotiation for a Highlander 2012 with VIN #5TDDK3H5CS161960 with them on phone # 15616393484 (Whatsapp). We agreed on $8000 plus additional $1300 for shipping to Nigeria. An invoice was issued for the 2012 Highlander. I was giving 2 days to complete the payment.
I contacted my friend in Texas since I may not be able to complete a transfer from outside the US within that time. He agreed to make that payment for me within the US. He transfered $7000 from his Bank of America account to Amerant Bank, with account name- Salvage King, and account # 1000037206. The balance I transfered from my TD Account in Canada. I was asked to wait for 2 weeks before the shipping.
I sent a picture of ML 350, 2013 with VIN # 4JGDA5JB5DA227255 to my sister in Nigeria. She requested that I go ahead and get it for her. I received an invoice and was giving a limited time to make the payment. I went to my friend once again, he was able to make a transfer of $7100 from his account to the salvage King account above. He waited for me to transfer all the money to him before he sent a Zelle of $1032.50 to the email [email protected]. I got an invoice that shows that payment has been completed for ML350.
I tried to get information from the company regarding the status of the Highlander I was informed had been shipped. I sent multiple messages to Eric I was asked to contact Jenniffer for update. I was provided the phone # +1 786-505-0795. Jenniffer spoke once with me and chatted with me a couple of times. I tried to send messages afterwards without any reply.
I have sent multiple messages for over two weeks now without any reply. I have called the phone numbers but no single response. Also, I used their email address, [email protected]. It finally dawned on me that I have been a victim of a scam.
