Thanks to NBC Los Angeles for uncovering this new scam and alerting renters. A rental car customer describes how he was scammed by an auto thief dressed as a rental car agent outside of Dollar Rent A Car near LAX.

Even though he bought the extra insurance, the rental company says the customer is financially responsible for the car because he didn’t remove the keys.
