Report

Robert Sofiano had a 2005 Bobcat S250 Skid Steer listed for sale on Craig's List for 12,000. I was looking to buy it so I contacted him via email and phone. We came to an agreement and he had a 5 page contract that he, myself and his Financial Representative Peter Benson all signed. The agreement was for me to Bank Wire the money to an escrow account (named JP Morgan thru CitiBank) and then for him to send the machine. Money was supposed to be sitting in the escrow account until I received and inspected the machine. Only at that point, and only with my permission the money was to be released to Robert Sofiano. I did send the 12,000 thru bank Wire and then tried contacting him about delivery details. All of a sudden there was no way to get a hold of Robert Sofiano, he would not answer any phone calls or emails. Then I became suspicious and did some research on his name.... I just now found out there were other people he scammed as well. Looks like they are in business of scamming people big time. I am currently trying to reverse the wire transfer and hope for the best. Also trying to warn others so they don't get scammed as well. I would like to add a copy of the contract here below and removed my personal information
