A 78-year-old Hawaiian man, Alan Sue, was scammed out of nearly $300,000 by Vitalii Stefurac, a luxury car dealer in Florida, during a fraudulent wire transfer car deal. After Sue wired the money for a rare Mercedes-Benz G63 that he never received, federal agents arrested Stefurac as he attempted to flee to Cuba. This incident highlights the importance of caution when dealing with car purchases, such as avoiding wire transfers, conducting thorough research, and getting vehicle inspections to prevent falling victim to similar scams.
