The Corpus Christi Police Department was notified by a 38-year-old female that she had just been scammed.  She told Officers that she had just purchased what appeared to be a brand new Sony video camera, in the box, from a black male in a black Suburban.  The box was complete with Sony stickers which had the camera priced at $399.99, although she paid only $80.00 for the camera.  After removing the camera from the box, she discovered the camera had both buttons and switches; unfortunately, the camera was hollowed out and was just an empty camera shell.

Officers checked the area for the salesman but were unable to locate him.  The female asked the CCPD to let the public know about the scam.
