so my step dad found a website where they were selling tractor bobcats @ really low prices http://www.bobcat969.com/
and then he contacted the man and told him to go to this website http://www.transp-freight-worldwide.com/ and register so the bobcat could be shipped.
in the process of this the guy contacted him through emails saying that my step dad would have to pay a percent of the total price. The guy asked for $1,500. Then the next day the guy called to tell my step dad that he needed to pay the shipping taxes $1,700. All of the money was sent through money order to the UK.
Today my mom finds out that this website http://www.transp-freight-worldwide.com/ and guy are bogus!
* I know that my step dad will not get his money back but is there anything that can be done? i mean i don't want this jerk stealing more money!
p.s we saved all of the emails and money order receipts.
