The FBI has issued wanted posters for a man they say is behind an eBay car scam that has netted $3m (£1.8m).
Authorities in the US also want to track down six other fugitives in relation to the charges.
The gang were described as “masters of illusion” who convinced people to pay for cars that did not exist.
“They thought their distance would insulate them from law enforcement scrutiny. They were wrong,” said US attorney Loretta Lynch.
Convincing schemeThe FBI put out a wanted poster for 33-year-old Romanian Nicolae Popescu, charging him with conspiracy to commit wire fraud and money laundering.
“They siphoned funds from victims to fuel their greedy desires and created false identities, fake websites and counterfeit certificates of title in order to make the scheme more convincing,” said FBI Assistant Director, George Venizelos.
