Vancouver woman says a man she met in Las Vegas got her to rent a Hertz car in her name, then kept it, leaving her with a bill over $5,000

A woman from Vancouver has shared a story online in which she says a man she met in Las Vegas convinced her to rent a Hertz car under her name, and then kept the vehicle, leaving her with a bill of more than $5,000. The woman, a TikTok creator named Taylor (@nopeanutsplz), posted a 16-minute TikTok video describing what she says happened to her.

In the video, Taylor draws a comparison to a well-known Netflix documentary. “So you may have heard of the Tinder Swindler,” she says. “But have you heard of the Afterpay Runaway? Well, I’m about to tell you. Because this is a crazy story that I unfortunately did live.”
