Autolot Salesman Charged for Deceptive Business Practices, Identity Theft, Say Investigators

A Miami Florida man who worked as a auto salesperson in Bristol Township and owns a Nevada, Las Vegas state identification was charged earlier this week for ripping off customers and filing fake insurance company paperwork 18 separate times.

Bucks County Detectives arrested and charged  Willians Jonsson Zultanski 43 on Tuesday.

According to court records, Zultanski worked for Autolot on the  2600 block of Bristol Pike in Bristol Township.

The Bucks County District Attorney’s Office received an insurance fraud referral from the National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB). The referral pertained to a joint investigation initiated by NICB and New Jersey Manufacturer’s Insurance Group (NJM Insurance), according to the criminal allegations. 

NJM Insurance reported that Autolot, a used car dealership located at 2660 Bristol Pike, Bristol, PA 19007  was submitting numerous online NJM Insurance policy applications and quotes on behalf of customers through the NJM Insurance website. NJM SIU Some noted that some of the policy applications contained false information to secure cheaper policy c  premiums and processed policy payments on behalf of NJM Insurance without being a licensed broker, records show.

NMJ Insurance found eighteen (18) suspected fraudulent applications that were submitted between January 20, 2022, and July 26, 2022. The fraudulent applications contained misrepresented policy addresses, fictitious driver’s license information and fictitious employment history for the applicants. NJM Insurance confirmed with each applicant/policyholder that the policy quotes and applications were completed by Autolot representatives at Autolot, and that each policyholder had no knowledge that false information was added to the application (s), the probable cause alleges. 

Bucks County Detectives interviewed the victims after NICB and NJM Insurance investigators forwarded supporting documentation for the 18 suspected fraudulent insurance applications. In a majority of instances they found fraudulent information filed with both entities, court records show, with three  policyholders who purchased a vehicle and insurance from Autolot provided, court records show. 

The three victims described to investigators the salesmen that sold them the vehicles and policies as an older Brazilian male named Willians.  Victims identified Willians on the Autolot Facebook page in a photograph, authorities said in court records.

Other victims confirmed it was Willians that sold them vehicles never completed an application for the NJM Insurance policy and never provided with any of the information that was on the policy application, according to court records. 

This step was repeated a number of times with victim after the victim sharing their version of dealings with Zultanski and with instance a victim demanding thousands of dollars back which the salesmen refused to do, court records show.

Autolot was a registered Domestic Limited Liability Company and Installment Seller Company located at 2660 Bristol Pike, Bristol, PA 19007 and doing business as (d/b/a) ADA Cars LLC. The owner was listed as Mustafa Ekermen, 87 Twin Oak Drive, Levittown, PA 19056 state records show. 

Investigators met with Ekermen confirming Zultanski worked there sometime between April and June of 2023, police wrote in court papers. 

Through this investigation, your Detectives learned that Pennsylvania State Police Trooper Anthony Carbone of the Vehicle Fraud Unit had an active investigation into Autolot.

State Police provided a copy of a Nevada driver’s license that contained the identifying information of Zultanski along with the last known telephone number Ekermen had for him;  The driver’s license listed the name of the suspects, Las Vegas, Nevada address. 

The man on the Nevada driver’s license looked very similar to the male depicted in Autolot Facebook images, said police. 

On April 27, 2023, your Detectives received the title histories for vehicles that  three victims purchased from Autolot. The title history for the three listed true and accurate information and not the misrepresented policy address that was listed on the NJM Insurance applications. There was no available information for the title history of one victim since the vehicle was transferred to New Jersey. 

On May 24, 2023, investigators utilized a law enforcement resources to query a New Jersey address. This was the policy address listed on the NJM Insurance applications for over 10 individuals were associated with the address, including the names Willians J. Zultanski, Willians Z. Jonsson and Williams Zultanski. Investigators ran a report through an investigative  resource on Zultanski and found that his date of birth and address matched the information on the Nevada driver’s license. The Property & Deeds section of the report listed Zultanski as a previous owner of the single-family residence who sold it in 2017. There was no record of victims Wendy Sarmiento, Erick Lagares Silva and being associated with the address, court records show.

He is charged with, one felony count of unlicensed broker/agent activity, two  felony count of deceptive business practices one felony count of identity theft one felony count of theft by unlaw taking and a misdemeanor of intent to defraud.
