It appears the scammers used the story where the seller is a soldier and needs to sell a vehicle.
Sound familiar?
I hope all you victims out there with similar circumstances have or will contact the authorities.
Its imperative to file reports.
These people are caught and as you can see here, Potcovaru had a substantial amount of money on him.

This was not Marian Potcovaru's first run in with US authorities involving scams.
Here is a story about Marian Potcovaru being accused of Forgery last year in Medina Ohio:
