If a man approaches you in a parking lot and tells you that he has a tool in his trunk that can smooth out the dents in your car cheaply, don't fall for the scam.
He might have a device that he'll use, but he'll ask for money upfront to complete the job. But, you'll never see him again.
It happened to a friend of mine. The tool smoothed the dent a bit, but the con artist never returned my friend's calls about finishing the work.
The cheap fee of $150 was a rip-off.
This is a typical summer scam. Summer's not over yet. Scam artists are still out there, preying on unsuspecting consumers.
Tell anyone who approaches you in a parking lot about repairing dents in your car to take a hike.
Well, one has to be careful of con artists these days who are off to make a quick buck. That’s why it is advised that you go to a legitimate body repair auto shop.
Hi Flavia,
You’re right. Find a reputable body repair shop for your repair.
