The car has not appeared and the given email, company name, telephone number no longer works. TCC Logista were the freight company in spain who were 'holding' the money until we were happy with the car at which point the money would be transfered to the seller. Police in UK have a statement, but it is a crime in Madrid so where do we go?|||Definetely a scam. The only other advice I can offer is to look at how your boyfriend sent his payment. If he used his bank ( a certified bank check for instance), he can check with the bank to see if the charges can be reversed. If he used Western Union, you cant reverse that charge.
I am sorry your boyfriend got caught by a scammer. Best of luck to you both|||Sounds like he got scammed. You never send money over seas unless you are absolutely sure you know what your doing. It sounds like you have done everything you can by contacting the authorities but your boyfriend will probably never see his money again. Unfortunately it's a very common thing. Sorry.|||Try the police in Madrid. This is not an uncommon scam and I would have to assume that the car never existed and the money is long gone. Good luck.|||The UK police should be working with the Spanish police and Interpol; but it sounds like the typical Western Union scam, and odds are there isn't ANYTHING on the other end to work with
Sorry|||boyfriend has been screwed. unless you want to spend a ton of time in Madrid, consider it a very expensive lesson in e-crime.
