I wanted to purchase a car which was advertised on the company's website and sent an inquiry using the contact seller/send inquiry form which is provided on their website. I got a response within a few hours. We exchanged a number of emails and could not complete the sale. I few days later I saw another vehicle on the same website, however, instead of sending the query using the form on the site, I used the emails which we had communicated on earlier. After some negotiations we agreed on a price and I wired the money to the account which was provided to me in the email. I received an email confirming receipt of the money and was advised that the vehicle was being taking to the port for shipping. I required for scanned copies of the vehicle and shipping documents, however there was no response to the email. I called the company on the number which is indicated on their website. The owner of the company denied having anything to do with the transaction and said the account to which the money was wired does not belong to their company. When I asked how that was possible since I had made contact using their website, the gentleman stated that their email may have been hacked and their was nothing he could do about it .
I am thinking of suing the company, can the owner of a company/website be held liable?
