Can't seem to find a good home.
In Ankara, Halil Ç. agreed with B.K.A., G.Ç. and EG.A. to buy a used
car, giving them a down payment of 65,000 TL (about $2,100). The
three sellers brought the car to Halil bey and even gave him the key,
but they noted that "we don't have the car's documents so we'll bring
them tomorrow and finalize the sale."
However (!), that night the "sellers" came back and took the car with
a spare key. When he woke up in the morning Halil bey first thought
the car had been stolen but he then realized he'd been duped by the
"sellers", who ignored his phone calls. Finally, a few days later E.G.A.
answered a call from Halil bey and "explained" that "sorry! I did this to
you together with B.K.A. and G.Ç. and my share was 8,000 TL, which
I will give back to you. I duped you and I regret it."
Indeed, the 8,000 TL found its way into Halil bey's bank account. It
turned out that the "sellers" had pulled this stunt with the same car 8
times before (!). Halil bey's lawyer Ali Erdem Gündoğan noted that
"this is a new fraud technique. They 'sell' the car, get a down payment
and take the car back, before disappearing. A lot of people have been
hoodwinked this way. "
In the footsteps of another notorious used car salesman.
