Interesting scam method—switching cash envelopes

Not very sophisticated and, while it doesn’t sound like the victim protected herself well, consider it a cautionary tale. Don’t get caught up in the rush of the moment, take your time and think things through. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

We see too many of these type of criminal stories with expensive watch. so many con-artists online..and craigslist.
Not the smartest thing to go back herself. For 8K, she met up at Starbuck? Oh well. Live and learn... |

I still think one needs to make considerable effort to 'buy a seller' prior to making any purchase. An extra 5-10% on ANY sale, from an individual that you feel more comfortable with, is a no brainer. |

There were red flags all over this transaction... as soon as he took out some tape, I would have split... $8,000 at Starbucks?!?!

Wow, she should have met him either at an AD or a bank. Sounds like they got him on CCTV though so I hope this story has somewhat of a happy ending soon!!
