Swoop and Squat witnessed on I-26 today

Heads up, I witnessed an attempted “swoop and squat” scam right before exit 44 going west on I-26. Two passenger vehicles abruptly swerved in front of what looked like a company white service truck. The one closest to the truck slammed its brakes out of nowhere. Thankfully, the truck driver was quick to brake and swiftly pulled off the exit. But it could have been bad. Apparently these scammers target seniors, women driving alone, and company vehicles for bigger and easier payouts. It happened so fast I don’t remember what the two cars looked like, sorry. But this may be a good time to invest in a dash cam folks.
