Woman Hires 'Boyfriend' on TaskRabbit to Avoid Car-Buying Scam

The woman, identified as Roux, explained in a viral video that she sought a blue-collar man to inspect a vehicle she was considering purchasing, aiming to prevent potential scams. 'Unfortunately my type is emotionally unavailable men who can’t change a tire and I don’t know a single blue collar man in the city,' she stated in her video description. The footage shows the hired individual diligently examining the engine of an older model Ford truck on a city street. This unconventional approach highlights the lengths some individuals go to ensure a fair deal in potentially complex transactions.
