My Experience With A Scammer and How I Put Her In Jail Today
If you live in a place where you can just go and buy a car congratulations you live in a normal country but that's not the reality around the world.
As some of you already know I live in Venezuela (yet) and the procedure to buy a car is far away from any parameter you could know. Since the goverment have been trying to control everything (food, production, energy and a big etc) products and services has just disapear because they pretend you to produce and sell to production cost and no one works for free right?
There are three ways to buy a car in Venezuela: You work for the goverment, you pay a fee to some corrupt state worker or you pay a big amount of money to some corruptn intermediary company normally owned by the figurehead of some military man (The army controls everything in Venezuela from food to importation) so he or she finds the car for you, that's a pretty good scenario for scammer doesn't it?
I went for the third option, I payed some amount of money to a company wich suppose to find the car for you, I sign a contract and the waiting period started.
I want to make this story short, it was written in the contract that the waiting period for them to find the car was 90 days. I patiently waited for 90 days and guess what? They said the haven't been able to find the car and I should wait a little more. They kept the lie for 8 months I decided to go to the police to report what had happend.
To my surprise there were hundreds of complaints and reports about the same issue, with the same company and the same owner I knew that moment the whole scheme was a fraud.
But I knew a little piece of information the police was missing I knew the address of the scammer, how did I find out? It was pretty easy in fact, the owner of this fraud company had rent a house to my mother in law.
The police told me if I was absolutely sure the scammer was still living there and I said a rotund yes. They inmediately drive to the house and found the guy there but guess what? He was moving away, what a scammer with bad luck. The police took him away he was crying like a baby.
