The use of networks and friends to induce victims to get loans were commonplace in all walks of life.
However, the most common was a set-up b y an acquaintance.
Moreover, when an acquaintance struck, it would often be the most daring and deadliest strike.
The secondhand car market was very deep, and the more you trusted your friends, the easier it would be for you to fall for a scam.
The Porsche 718 that Den was very interested in was previously used exclusively for rental purposes in Newcoe Hill. It was originally a refurbished car from Sudbury that was bought at a low price by a car rental agency in Newcoe Hill, and the car rental agency had recovered the cost of the car in a year by renting the car out for a price of more than one thousand dollars a day.
Six months ago, the car had been rented to two young people in Newcoe Hill who had just gotten their driver's licenses. These two young men were then involved in a major accident after drinking, and this had resulted in one of them dying on the spot whereas the other one had been seriously injured. The car itself was nearly scrapped.
After that, the car was then picked up by the owner of the car dealership in Aurous Hill at a very low price. He had found a section of the front body of the car in Cahol Ville, and he had welded it up before finally preparing for it to be transported to Aurous Hill after reconditioning.
However, since this car was in such poor condition, anyone with even a little knowledge could see through the trick at a glance. So, even though the Porsche car market was good, this car had not been sold.
Unexpectedly, Den had fallen right into this scam.
He was in a state of confusion as he ran off to sign a short-term loan agreement that was full of loopholes, and he then took the money that he had just loaned and rushed t o the car dealership to pick up the car.
His friend, Benedict, had prepared a grand ceremony for him to pick up the car.
Benedict cleaned up this car which had been soaked in water and was involved in a n accident that caused a person's death nicely, and he also tied a big red ribbon on i t, making it look exceptionally cool.
At this time, Den was not in the mood to appreciate this sports car that he had loved for a long time. He felt very pained when h e thought of how he might have to lose thirty to forty thousand dollars very soon.
you should drive the car away first. I will contact my friend from outstation later and ask him to find you to see the car.”
Den was immediately relieved, almost as if he had found a way out of this dead-end, and this excitement made him forget that h e had just lost his job.
Subsequently, he thought about it, and he thought that it would really be a loss if he were to sell the car as soon as he had just picked it up when he would already have to pay ten days of interest for the loan.
So, he hurriedly said to Benedict, "Benedict, can you ask your friend from outstation to come and see the car in a day or two? I've just gotten this car, so you should let me enjoy it for a day or two, at the very least..."
Benedict laughed and said, "Okay, no problem. There is no similar car source on the market at the moment. So, he will
certainly be willing to wait for two more days. You can drive the car away first, and I will follow up with you later."
