Another classified scam involving fake cash occurred in Murfreesboro. This time around, a woman had a laptop computer advertised on the "OfferUp" app. She said that she agreed to meet a man who wanted to buy the computer.
According to the victim, the subject told her his name was "John King." He met her in the parking lot of Campus Crossings Apartments. The man gave the victim $800 in cash, that later turned out to be fake.
Police seized the 16 counterfeit $50 bills and now the woman is out a computer and cash. The fake money was logged into evidence.
