If you are buying or selling something online, make sure to keep your guard up and watch for scammers. This week, I want to tell you about a scam that I have not heard of before. A woman who lives in Pueblo tells me she was selling a car online when she heard from an interested buyer - little did she know, they weren't interested in the car.
"I had an ad to sell my daughter's old car on Craigslist and someone said they were interested in the car," Jenny told me. She said the customer sent her a text message. "It said, 'Can you please call me at this number and type in 64.' When I called the number, it answered as Google Voice and I'm not really familiar with Google Voice, although we have one on a phone that we never use."
