RUA logistics LTD Anton Battista I made a bank wire transfer, for a vehicle- They called it a good faith deposit- It was 50% of the cars value- $6250.00 They then emailed back asking for the remaining balance- Thas when I said enough! Homerton, London London United Kingdom

I`m not really sure what to do about this scam artist, but if you come up with any good ideas, please let me know-

YOUR EXPERIENCE WITH THE FRIEGHT FORWARDER (RUA LOGISTICS) IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED TO ME.  I AM OUT 7500.00...   THE AMAZING THING IS HOW ELEBORATE THE SCAM IS.  THE WEB PAGE AND INTERACTION WITH RUA LOGISTICS SEEMS VERY LEGITIMATE AND THE BANK DEALINGS ALSO SEEMED VERY PROFESSIONAL.  THE SELLER AND THE COMPANY MUST BE SCAMMIMG PEOPLE IN CONFLUENCE WITH EACH OTHER. I HAVE VIEWED THE RUA LOGISTIC TRUCKS ON THE ROAD IN THE USA, NEVER THOUGHT THIS COULD TAKE PLACE WITH SUCH AN IMPRESSIVE FRONT. I AM NOT SURE WHERE TO TURN FOR HELP BUT I AM PISSED.   THE LOCAL IN COUNTRY CELL NUMBER USED BY THE SELLER WAS 6124704192. AND THE INTERNATIONAL NUMBER FOR RUA LOGISTICS WAS 441614804930.  THE INTERNATIONAL NUMBER WAS ANSWERED BY RUA EMPLOYEES AND THEY SENT ME ALL HE DOCUMENTATION  FOR THE TRANSFER.  I DEALT WITH THEM 4 TIMES, AND NOW THEY DO NOT RECEIVE CALLS AT ALL ON THAT LINE.  WHAT A SIN.    

Nowjust today I was on Carsforsale.com and found the same 74 Ford bronco, but now instead of Italy, it is in Sacramento Ca, by a private seller with the same exact description and pictures- Please I need help catching these con artists from steling anymore money from anyone- Can I hold Carsforsale liable for damages ofthe original $6250.00 I wired- They should be held responsible for not monitering their accounts- I need an attorney- Please help someone out there- 10/29/2017

I´m sure he was not Mr. Battista. Tried to contact the real Battista trough facebook, but no reply.

All the "family" pictures he sent me by mail, was all pictures availabale by google search and on Battista´s open facebook account.

He claimed he was an Italien, but his wife was US citizen. Unable to verify that.

By googling the pictures of the car he sent me, I found the same pictures on an expired ebay ad. Then for sale at more than doubble the price "Battista" wanted.

Also, in my case he said it will cost USD 18.000 to register the car in Italy, but even after paying that amount it still would have been USD20.000 below actual selling value.

He even sent me a fake Title report stated he was the owner of the car.

Further more by google-search pictures on rualogistic.com I found most of the pictures there on other real web-sites, but it was cleverly made sites, and easy to be fooled.

Just courious, was Anton Battista, who he says he is? When I talked to him on the phone he sounded like he had an Italian accent- But  his phone # was coming up fron a land line in Mineapolis Mn-  John -Tacoma Wa

Came over a 2016 Tesla Model X at USD38500 on carforsale.com. Contacted the seller, and he said he was in Italy, and it was to expensive registrating the car there. We agreed on me buying the car, and the price was including shipping to Norway. In severale mails with mr. Battista he claimed I was not suppose to pay anything before I received the car. But after a coupple of days, I was contacted by RuaLogistic stating that they wanted a deposit of USD7000, before shipping the car.

After several of hours googling I found out that Mr. Battista claimed to be this person: https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antonio_Battista also the pictures in his e-mail stated that. Also found out that Rualogistic.com, had the same webpage as lotfreight.com and internationalandglobal.com and none of these companies were for real. Domains in USA, main office in London and bank in Croatia....???? Luckily I was capable of googling both seller anf freight company so that I did not pay them anything.

Be aware, if something is too good to bee true, it usually is.
