INTERNET FRAUD
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA

THE DETAILS SURROUNDING THE CRIME

The FBI is seeking two unidentified individuals, pictured below, for questioning in connection with a $230,000 fraud scheme involving an online auction site. The victim, a car salesman, attempted to purchase two vehicles advertised on the online auction site, and was contacted via email from an individual purporting to be the seller. In December of 2007, the victim eventually agreed to purchase an additional four vehicles from the seller, and transferred $230,000 to five banks in Los Angeles, California. The money was withdrawn, in person, by the men pictured below. The victim never received the vehicles.
