Scam Alert – Fake Quality Ford Inc. Website

Over the past several days, the Coushatta Police Department has received calls from three people across the country who have been victimized by scammers operating a fake Quality Ford Inc. website.

The scammers lure unsuspecting victims into making phone contact with an alleged salesperson at what they believe to be the Quality Ford dealership in Coushatta, Louisiana, which is no longer in business.
The “salesperson” follows routine steps, including bargaining on price, consulting with the sales manager, discussing financial options, and sending official-looking paperwork, such as a buy order, to the potential buyer.

Once a deal is finalized, the soon-to-be victim is asked to wire the money for the purchase of the vehicle to a specific Bank of America account. After the payment is received by the scammers ($46,000 in two known instances), the victim is left without a vehicle and his/her money.

Red River Parish Sheriff’s Office investigators and Coushatta police officers are currently in contact with the Louisiana Attorney General’s Office in an effort to launch an investigation into this fraudulent activity.

Fortunately, one person avoided being scammed by calling the police department to confirm that Quality Ford was a legitimate business before wiring the money.

This is a great reminder for all of us to do our research and be careful before sending money or sharing our personal/banking information over the phone or the internet.
