I purchased a pair of motors he was selling in the classifieds. I wired the money after looking at photos and build sheets.

He contacted me about the shipping and was going to get me a PRO number when they were picked up.

Well guess what, he is now in the wind and I would greatly appreciate any help anyone could provide.

David Clark Casto
701 north moody rd
Palatka, Fl, 32177

I google maped the address and it came up as a business address

on the word doc he sent me it was "owned" by Chop Shop Customs

all the pics were uncompressed so they were originals, I have since looked deeper at them and they were taken in october of 08

the original ad is now been removed but if you google the phone number the cached ad is still available

His email is [email protected]

I wired the funds to Prosperity Bank on hiway 19

Any help anyone could provide would be greatly appreciated and I am attemtping to get in contact with the local authorities and work or options through my bank

Thanks

Christian
