Beware the Bank Transfer Hustle: Mustang GT Vanishes in San Marcos

San Marcos, TX – A local resident is facing a nightmare after falling victim to a cunning scam. Their beloved Ford Mustang GT, customized with black tail lights, roof, spoiler, and a unique headlight and hood treatment, vanished on January 19th, 2024. But the twist? The thief might not be who you expect.

Here’s the story: The owner received confirmation from Bank of America that their car loan was paid off after a supposed buyer made the transfer. A bank statement even reflected a zero balance. But just three days later, the bank dropped a bombshell: the funds couldn’t be located. Adding insult to injury, Bank of America offered a measly 15-day grace period before potential consequences.

The plot thickens. The owner suspects a crew operating out of Mississippi, known for being led by an incarcerated mastermind. This suggests a sophisticated operation, preying on unsuspecting victims.
