Several arrest affidavits, each for a different victim, all report something very similar. A victim finds a luxury car on Craigslist and ends up wiring money to “The Car Guy” in Boca Raton. Unfortunately, the only thing the “The Car Guy” delivers is excuse after excuse as to why the vehicle cannot be delivered. Nektalov never refunds the victim’s money and never delivers the cars.
