Dear Editor,
In April this year I entered an agreement with a supposed car dealer/importer [name given] in the city for the purchase of a vehicle. I made a down payment of $1.6M with the balance to be paid on delivery. Today, almost four months later I am out of vehicle and funds; my down payment has not been refunded, the seller has completely disregarded the agreement, stopped answering the phone and I am left to seek recompense by the application of the law.
I had previously been informed that this is a crime of fraud of which I am a victim and I decided to take the matter to the Alberttown Police Station. I was directed to the CID offices where a woman wrote my information on a pad. I noticed none of the offender’s information was taken. The CID informed me that the offenders were well known fraudsters and that it would be hard to catch them and that I would have to track, find and stall them then inform him. The police have effectively placed me in a position where the situation can possibly be exacerbated and I may well come out the wrong side of the law and not only be out of my hard-earned money, but placed in jail as well.
Not a single attempt was made to investigate the matter.
I am left to wonder why and how a fraudster so well known by the police is still not in jail and his business is still running today.
Yours faithfully,
Yogistra Anderson
