OK, take a deep breath. Go to your bank what account was it wired to? Personal, corp?? If it was either they will have SS# and address on file or Corp number that the names of the business are in, don't let the bank push you around they have this info or they can call and get it, but they are usually a bunch of jerks.. Next where did your buddy look at they, GET SOMEONE over there NOW, see what is going on get license plate numbers, cell numbers, ADDRESS, who owns the building, who was it leased to, how did they pay rent, persoanl CHECK?? don't give up but you need to be gathering all the info possible now before people FORGET or don't know NOTHIN.

yeah this seems pretty cut and dry. Have you had your buddy go back by there? Hard to believe someone would allow a party to come inspect some motors , just to fraud them in a few days. How much was it? Plane trip maybe????

wow! I exchanged several e-mails with Shane about these motors. Almost bought them, but in the last email, I said that I would probably drive down and get them and give him the money. He seemed straight up, but I never got another email from him. Hope it all all works out for you. Like they said, GET SOMEONE OVER THERE NOW!
