A Lafayette, Tennessee man thought he?d struck Craigslist gold. The Chevrolet Suburban, normally valued at around $60,000, was selling for half its normal price. All he had to do was bring $30,000 in cash to a McDonald?s parking lot in Nashville, and the new vehicle would be his.

But Kyle Whitlow, the would-be Suburban owner, grew suspicious of the deal when he forked over the $30,000. The 28-year-old handed the cash to two young men, who gave him the Suburban and sped off in their own car without even counting the money. Whitlow?s suspicions grew when he attempted to register the car later that day and found another name on the registry: EAN Holdings LLC, the parent company of Enterprise Rent-a-Car.

The Suburban sale was the product of a two-day crime spree involving vehicle theft and credit card fraud, Nashville International Airport police wrote in a report obtained by a Nashville ABC affiliate. Two young men, identified as Kaleb Louis,22, and Maurice Lewis, 20, flew from Houston, Texas to Nashville on March 14. While still in the airport, the pair allegedly used a fake driver?s license and a stolen credit card to rent the expensive SUV.

wow! Here's your sign :1orglaugh

did you at least get to drive it around a bit before having to give it back?

When I sold my corvette the dumbass shows up at my house with over 30K in German money and expected me to take it. The money which I had never seen and would have no idea what it looks like or even the exchange rate looked like play money to me.
He gave it to me and I took it to the bank and it took a week for them to deposit the money in my account. He had nothing to show for that whole week lol

Waiting for bronco67 to show up and cry racism.

A fool and his money are soon parted. The fucked up part is that he will never see a dime of that money back. Sure they'll be ordered to pay restitution, but he has a better chance of seeing a sex tape of Liberace and Michael Jackson double penetrating Elizabeth Taylor than them ever paying a dime. Dumbass. :1orglaugh

Everything screamed "BULLSHIT SCAM!" and that guy still forked over the money hoping it was real. It's amazing how people can be so blinded by greed they let themselves get conned like that.

The other day I was in line at Publix customer service and woman in front of me was sending western union wire. Trailer park trash, dirty clothes, no teeth. Took her forever to send $50.00. CSR asked her to confirm name and address of the person she was sending it to in Nigeria (!!!!). When it was my turn I asked CSR if that woman was really sending money to Nigeria. She rolled her eyes ans said "at least she is only out of $50 now". She said she turned people away when they tried to wire couple of thousand dollars to Princess Ebony before. Lots of idiots out there. :Oh crap

Yeah, let's meet a couple of hood rats with 30k in cash at a McDonald's parking lot...what could possible go wrong.

Years ago I worked for a company that put values on cars that were total losses due to theft or accident. We ended up with one case where a guy went to a house where there was a high end Mercedes for sale. He ended up beating up and tying up the owner and took the title to the car. He then drove the car across town and sold it to someone else. The buyer didn't suspect anything because the seller had the signed title and was asking a fair price for the car so all seemed up and up until he got pulled over a few days later by the police because the car had been reported as stolen.

I've seen the same shit and I asked why don't you tell them to leave because it is a scam and she said they are not allowed because Publix would lose money and she would get fired. WTF. She did say she can tell them to read the sign which says if you do not know the person it is probably a scam but other than that they don't say anything.

Also can't point out its a bad idea to spend that $50 on lotto tickets

What's Irwin Jones doing in Nashville

Where's the pink slip?

That will buy a lot of Mcnuggets

If it sounds too good to be true. :1orglaugh
Bringing that much cash to someone ya met on craigslist usually not gonna end well. :2 cents:

Lucky he didn't take a beatin' too.

Some people have book smarts but no Street smarts...

If he wasn't stupid enough to give them the cash agree he could have gotten a beat down or a bullet as 30k cash is more than enough for something bad to happen.

dindu nuffin brilliance

I'm wondering how the 28-year old had $30k in cash in the first place.

Not sure what you mean. How come a 28 year old can't have 30K cash. He probably went to the bank and took it out. My bank only lets me get 5K and if I want more I have to wait for the safe to open because they have to put a request in and all this other bullshit for security and if I want over 10K I have to fill a form out. 30K I would have to tell them and go back the next day to get it.

You can't con an honest man ... Probably got what he bargained for :winkwink:
