Sonoman loses $4K in online scam:
A 63-year-old woman from Sonoma, California was lost $4000 when she ‘bought’ a used car on craigslist.
The ’seller’ claimed to be David Bruno and stated that he was selling the car because he was shipping out to Iraq. He then requested the woman to wire the money to him for the car. He provided all sorts of proof of ownership that turned out to be fake.
The VIN for the vehicle traced back to a used car lot outside of Philadelphia. The lot manager said he had received several phone calls about that car. It seems that the car may have been ’sold’ numerous times on craigslist.
The moneygram was cashed in North Las Vegas, Nevada.
I wonder if that was the money’s last stop or was it headed overseas?
