In Landkreis Dachau, Germany, local police have reported the presence of potentially fraudulent car buyers, leading to at least one confirmed case of deceit involving a car sale. A woman residing in Markt Indersdorf responded to a sign that advertised 'We Buy Cars' and subsequently arranged a sale. However, these impostors, described as adept in negotiation, managed to persuade her to hand over her vehicle without actually providing the negotiated payment.

The authorities estimate the financial loss due to this scheme to be around 16,000 euros, highlighting the serious implications of this fraud on unsuspecting victims. The police have expressed concerns that similar signs may have been posted in other locations within Landkreis Dachau, suggesting a broader pattern of deceiving tactics being employed by these fraudsters.

As a precaution, the police have issued warnings to the public to be vigilant about such advertisements and to verify the legitimacy of any car-buying offers before proceeding with any transactions. This case underscores the increasing risks associated with private vehicle sales and the importance of caution in dealing with unknown buyers.
