Rennlisters Expose Porsche Salesman Who Disappeared with $2.5 Mil
PCNA told The Drive that Champion themselves notified them about the situation and that they assured them they would rectify it. “Champion Porsche has assured us it will help Porsche buyers who might have been impacted and is asking those customers to give their information to Champion’s legal counsel,” a spokesperson said.
Both of the victims they spoke to admitted feeling very comfortable with Sookralli, who seems to have enjoyed a strong reputation with his customers. He reportedly communicated with them frequently up until his disappearance in August. To the point where none of the other victims found it strange that they were asked to wire their deposit funds into the shell Champion Autosport account.
Even more interesting, the first customer has since found out that he has a build in progress under his name, but not the one he originally ordered. The second customer actually received a car, but it wasn’t the correct spec. He claims that Sookralli pressured him into taking it anyway.
All-in-all, it appears that at least two dozen people fell victim to this scam. And the dealership’s silence on the matter doesn’t appear to be helping the situation. And amazingly enough, it comes on the heels of the tragic death of Champion’s owner, Devindar Maraj, this July.
It’s the kind of story that you’d expect to read in a fiction novel. But sadly, this tale of greed and deception is very much real. And you can bet that this is only the beginning of what appears to be a much, much deeper situation.
