  • An elderly Georgia couple tells Local 10 News they have been ripped off. They paid a South Florida car dealership $15,000 for a hard-to-find Lexus. And while the dealer cashed the check weeks ago, they have no car and no answers.

    1:16 u deserved to get scammed
    It’s amazing how old people are filled with wisdom but send 15,000$ thru the mail for a car they have never seen before let alone test drive. 100% deserved

      you might be dumb or live in the 1920s but people buy cards online everyday in the thousands and send the money to the dealer and get their car. Are you that boneheaded to not realize that another person did the same thing but got the car and he was also in Georgia !!!
      Come to think about it, everytime you shop on amazon, you are paying for something from some random seller adn fro some reason most people get what they bought. STOP BEING A DUNCE, !

      1. They're old. 2. Nobody deserves to be scammed. Even if someone is stupid with their money, the receiving end surely doesn't deserve it. Ridiculous.

      And retail electronics. It's also illegal in Florida, as it is in many states.

    Damn $15k for 87k miles. I paid $6700 3 years ago for the same car (black on black so more rare). These cars are skyrocketing in value.

      Prepare to be astonished when you witness the actions of white Americans, as you may have misconceptions about Cubans. While some may believe Cubans to be unfavorable, the truth is that white Americans have a history of engaging in illegal invasions of numerous countries and causing the tragic loss of millions of lives within a mere span of a few decades.

    Always use a credit card for a deposit to hold the car. Hand over the check after you see the car and decide it’s what you want.

    This couple grew up in a time when honest American business owners were not trying to scam everyone breathing to procure a few bucks. Searching for a rare car nationwide does not allow one the luxury of going in person to check each one out. People commenting should be more concerned that this scammer will probably never see any form of punishment and that this is now status quo for living in America.
