It was always fun to read the classified ads to find the "like new" cars which were rebuilt "totals" from insurance company auctions, before the states started stamping the titles as "SALVAGE".

Yep, adult son almost fell for one of those. A whole new scam approach. Ad said: Military member being deployed ....... turned out it was not just the one our son was interested in. They finally uncovered an entire ring that bought cars from floods and hurricanes, and then paid enlisted personnel at the nearby base a "fee" to just deliver the car in person to the buyer ! Turns out there was actually nothing illegal for an enlisted person to accept a fee to drive a car over to someone if on personal time. But never thought of that kind of thing in our little community here ! If one female had not come up with so many carts... might have worked !
