Online Car Scam Smoothly Defrauds Midwest City family
In this tough economic season, where people want to keep their money safe by every means and if u are willing to purchase the car online , then think twice before executing the task , because online criminals can certainly trap and defraud you .
Here is the worst example of online car scams which has badly swindled Midwest City family . In bad to worst incident , the family lost their hard earned savings in this wild internet scam.
The whole fraud process was started earlier this year for Scott and Tiffany Kanny who last month pumped $3,200 in cash to Scotland for a red 2004 Toyota Corolla for sale on www.craigslist.org
The scam artists represented himself as seller and used a fake eBay purchasing agent, fraud name and fake ID to mastermind the scam and defraud the victims .
According to Tiffany Kanny , scam artists used smooth and normal tactics to win the confidence by stating he was normal guy , and pointed out that he represented military and shipping from an Army base in Scotland.
The Kannys were innocents and acted as accordingly . Further Via carfax.com, they confirmed the picture of the car matched its vehicle identification number, but they didn’t order a $95 detailed report.
As they were ready with their funds ,she emailed the seller .But Seller (scam Artists)was good enough to ask the money through Western Union , which he termed as eBay purchasing agent.
Fraudsters ( pretending to be eBay agent ) made it clear that they are now going to release the money until authorization formalities have been completed and they also conveyed kanny that shipment orders can be received within 6 hours.
But after day or two she sorted confirmation from spoof@ebay.com, only to realize that email was fake .
Probably it is the worst ever fraudulent online car scam ,in whihc kannys lost nearly Thirty-two hundred dollars , a hard money which they have termed as tax refund and probably would have taken five years to save.
