My daughter got scammed on Craigslist. She bought what seemed to be a decent old Volvo for cash, the seller told her he would send her the title in a few days and she could pay the last $100 when the title was delivered. She believed him.

The title never came, the seller has disappeared out of state, and the whole ownership of the car is in question.

With all due respect to you and your daughter, you daughter sounds like she might well have let herself get scammed by just about anyone in any venue whatsover, sleezy or not. Paid cash and didn't get a title? Come on!

Uhhmm..The seller can claim she stole the car and get it back. Titleholder=Owner. Hope she learned.

I had a guy try to buy a car from me, he brought a cashiers check made out to HIM. He said, just cross off my name and write yours in.
I said, let’s go to the bank (1 block away) and cash it.
He balked.
His wife mouthed off.
I chased them from my home.
I was armed.
The end.
