East Memphis Craiglist Car Scam - Very interesting

MEMPHIS TN (IFS) -- SDCOG News One just checking up on cars for sale in the Memphis area and came across this gem.  First, this seller just wants to take you and your money into this title loan company to pay off a debt.  She does not want you to test drive the vehicle at all.  The idea is to take your money and walk out of the back door.  This vehicle does not even belong to her.  So if you see this particular ad types in Craig's list, it's a scam -- nobody purchases a vehicle without first test driving it!!

I'm on my way home now. How soon would you want to meet to pick it up. And I do have a title loan on the title. So that could be the meeting spot as well. You pay me. I walk in pay the title loan off and sign the title over to you.

Hello, I am selling my 1998 Ford Explorer for 1200. It is tan 4WD, 4 door. New tires (February). It needs an oil change, tune up and the arm rest is broken. Other than that she is just fine. I'm only selling her because I got a new truck as a Mother's Day gift.

Serious inquires only please. If intrested email me and I will send pictures. In the subject put "light skin" to help me rid the spam.

P. S. light skin is what I call my truck. Lol.
