His wife was swept away by Hurricane Helene’s floodwaters. Now he’s been scammed out of nearly $40,000
CNN - Rod Ashby was desperate to find his wife Kim Ashby after their newly built home in Elk Park, North Carolina, was swept away by Hurricane Helene’s floodwaters in late September and she went missing.
His daughter, Ansley Ashby, told CNN her father needed a four-wheel drive pickup to navigate the roads along the Elk River that had been largely decimated by the storm so he could search for Kim. His Ford F-350 had been lost to the raging water and mud.
Rod, a US Navy veteran, began shopping for a new vehicle with the insurance payout he received, Ansley said.

I will refrain from saying what I'd like to see happen to the scammer as I wouldn't want some idiot to file a TOS complaint.
