COBRA SCAM ALERT
Posted: Mon Jun 01, 2020 6:48 pm
Currently listed on Autotrader is a Teal/Gray car with certificate claiming to be car #68 - asking $38K - car is supposed to be in Arkansas - negotiated with the guy for a few days and agreed on a number - I’m in SoCal and arranged for an inspector to drive down to see the car yesterday - about 150 miles each way and so I paid $600 for that service.
Inspector calls the guy Sunday morning to confirm and they agree to meet - inspector drives and the guy is a no show - blocks my calls and the inspector’s - No replies to texts whatsoever.
Bryan Thompson is the guy’s name, not sure what the end game was, maybe he was hoping I would wire money without seeing the car.
Buyer beware!!!
