Automotodropship.com Dr Richard Kennedy Tried to sell me a boat but the boat does not exist. Wanted me to wire money. FL MIami
The company representing the seller is fake. It's not registered in sunbiz. You cannot find anything about them in the internet except their site. The are called automotodropship.com . Inventory number # 864277. You make an offer and they accept and tell you to wire the money. Looks real but it is not plus the boat is 25k under NADA. Follow up and you will see. They almost had me.

You could never get anyone on the line, the chat was very slow but they were very shady with their responses just referring to the documentation, their website has no email address, the richard guy just responded to me as the owner of the vessel. He posted the boat on craigslist and when we went back and forth he told me he had the boat with that company and to deal with them. He also told me reason for selling is because he bought a 2021 Starcraft which was a little off. No one goes from a Boston Whaler that seemed to be paid off to a Starcraft. Anyway they would only take a wire, not a draft or anything.

I got mixed up in a similar scam and luckily escaped unscathed. Very slick website, the item was to be delivered anywhere USA, 7 days to decide, super deal, my own greed..all the ingredients for a successful scam. I am curious how you smelled a rat.
