[US] Is this a possible car scratch scam?
The poster was accused of scratching a woman's car in a supermarket parking lot, but noticed discrepancies, including his pre-existing scratch being burgundy while the alleged damage on her car was white. The incident occurred in Virginia, yet the quote provided contained a license plate from Texas. Further concerns arose because the quoted repair address could not be located on standard maps and payment was requested via a Zelle QR code.
