I'm sending money to a guy named Valentin Virlizanu, what could possibly go wrong?

I would have sent him a huge down payment, but a Nigerian prince needed a loan so I helped him out first!

Released on bond.
Our justice system needs a tune up.

That's a very low bond for his crime, it sounds like he'd be a "Flight Risk"....

I'm wondering to what country they will flee. Hey, they already have a bunch of pennies in their piggy bank.

the brothers would reportedly take detailed pictures of the cars for sale including pictures of the VIN; they would then post the pictures on Facebook Marketplace and offer the cars for sale.

I just can't get past people sending down payments to anyone on a car they have not gone to see in person or had someone they hired or a friend to set eyes on
and make sure it is legit
