Bad experience with Champion Motors

I forgot to mention the bank was useless as well. My wife went to the bank as soon as we found out and asked for help but they said they cant do anything since it was an auto deposit etransfer. I thought for sure since we had the name of the fraudulent etransfer account they would be able to get it back.
This has scared me so much now I don't think I will ever do another online transaction again.

Script kiddies usually. 14 year olds living in their mother’s basement, lol . Or someone with the flu .Was hackers even a word that long ago....
Have you never watched A Christmas Carol?
Banks don't help! They only provide an easy way for you to help them make money! LOL.
There are similar Paypal scams also.
When I sold my Camaro he didn't get the car until he made 4 email deposits of the maximum which I believe is around 2500.00 I'd be just as bad. I trust to easily. But you didn't hear it here!

Did Champion Motor comment if they ever request e-transfer from any of their customers?
The police can easily find out who you sent the money to. What was the email address? No competent thief would be using e-transfer to commit fraud as it’s tracable.
I've dealt with Rob the owner of Champion many times, I always send him an e transfer to save him the 3 % credit card charge or whatever the amount it is as he treats me fairly on pricing, thanks for the heads up that's not gonna happen again
Was this the email address you used?

Hard to hack Rogers, but if they used the same password for many sites it could have been stolen from a compromised site. Right Murray?

I have also been scammed out of $580 in cash this season. I needed front tires for my BMW X5, with tires being $580 each. Before ordering tires found an ad on Kijiji of a tire shop selling used low mileage tires in North York for $250 per tire and $40 install. Called the guy who confirmed the tires are available, drove down there on a Saturday morning from Niagara. They showed me the 2 tires the are practically new that I inspected myself for any holes, plugs, cuts or sidewall bulges (I was suspicious because tires looked like they where dipped in tire shine) Told them to install them, the guy says sure wait in our waiting room, I said I prefer to stay with the car. He says I can’t due to insurance but I can stand outside while they keep the garage door open.
I watched them bring the 2 new tires and put them next to my car, take off my wheels and take both to their tire mounting equipment. I could not fully visualize the tire machine and the balancer. “New” tires when on the car and I paid $580 in cash.
Once I got home everything was fine, but the following day tire pressures were off. So while I was putting air in the tire I see a thin cut between the side wall and the tread. I turned the wheel and had my brother drive slowing while I inspected the tread and what do I find: a chunk of tread missing and a big plug. At this point I check the other wheel and it looks ok but there is a 2 inch crack/cut in the groove of the tread where the wear bars are. At this point I jacked up the car and took off the wheels just to find damage to the inner side wall of one of the tires that looks like it was glued.
Yep, they did a bait and switch on the tire machine outside of my field of view.
$580 is a good lesson, but the fact that those scumbags endangered my 100k SUV, my life, lives of my family and everyone else on the road next to me is evil.

Yes Sir! That’s the email. It was them I was taking to in the beginning as they gave me the right price. It just somehow got taken over half way through the same email chain. Blew my mind.Was this the email address you used?

I filed a police report but don’t expect to hear anything back from them.
Here’s the address I sent the money to.

That email should have been a red flag. Are they aware that Indian hackers have access to their system?
Exactly. As I said earlier their server has been compromised. Only way this could have occurred In this way .
