A man who bought a car he found on CraigsList in Clarksville, Tennessee, found out the hard way that it was a scam. However, he also found out that the suspect may be right here in Murfreesboro.

The victim told police that he sent $3,500 to an "Anthony Dobbs" via a Walmart Money Gram. The victim was buying an Acura MDX that he spotted on CraigsList. Police learned that the Money Gram was picked up at the Old Fort Parkway Walmart Store on November 5th. But, the car was never delivered.

The good news... The suspect or possible suspects, were caught on an in store security video camera picking up the money at Walmart.

The case is under investigation.
