Police in Cleveland, OH are searching for a man accused of scamming individuals trying to sell their used cars through the classifieds. According to Fox 8, Anthony Kimbrough talks sellers down from their asking price. When the price comes down, Kimbrough says he has a cashier’s check made out to the higher amount, and asks the seller to give him change. Kimbrough then has the seller drive him to a relative’s house to retrieve the check, then makes off with the sellers change. In the end, the house turns out to belong to a stranger.

In one case, Kimbrough made off with $900. Watch the video above for the full story.

It’s not uncommon for less than trust worthy individuals to take advantage of people selling their used cars. While the police are doing all they can to protect the public from predatory individuals, those looking to take your hard-earned money will always find a new way to take advantage of your trust. In the end, it’s important to remember that no matter how nice a person seems, it’s best to protect yourself first and worry about being rude second. [Source: Fox8]
