A woman from North Carolina named Shy is getting a lot of attention on TikTok. She shared a three-part video series explaining how she lost $4,500 after trusting someone to buy her a car from an auction. Shy, who goes by @shynotchy_ on TikTok, said she missed several warning signs during the whole thing. She’s now sharing what happened so other people don’t fall for the same trick.
According to Motor1, Shy needed a car she could pay for in cash. She didn’t want monthly payments and realized she had no one to help her buy a car. She posted on Facebook asking for help, and a woman she knew through a mutual friend replied. This woman said she just started a “buy-here, pay-here” business and could help Shy find a good car at an auction.
