Three Men Scammed $7.5M Online | Cleveland News

Three guys pulled off a four-year Facebook Marketplace heist, swindling over 50 dirt bikes and ATVs worth $200K+ by posing as cash-rich buyers, luring sellers to Cleveland, then vanishing with the bikes—leaving fake cash or paper behind. They targeted 1,000+ victims across 7 states, stealing $7.5M total. Antonio Odom, Michael Atkins, and Timothy Neal now face 100+ charges including aggravated theft and conspiracy, with arraignments set for later this month. A chilling reminder: stay vigilant when selling online—these guys used tech to erase their tracks and even blocked victims from reporting them.
