Sent invoice and wire information for a dodge charger offered o. Website. Stated I would not transfer money unless car could be inspected.

Their answer was “ not going to happen” and cancelled to invoice.

Would never purchase anything without inspection first.

A truck was presented for sale as an ad on Facebook marketplace. Initial contact was made through phonecall provided on the website that linked from the Facebook ad. After discussion on the phone, and photos and videos sent through email, I decided to purchase the truck. The seller "Taylor" offered to ship the truck since it was supposedly in Pennsylvania. A bill of sale was sent via email and signed. Money was wired from my bank and I was told the truck would be delivered within 7 days. Over the weekend, after looking at the photos again, we discovered that there was a Texas flag in the background of truck in the photos, and in photos of other cars on the website. We then contacted the delivery driver "John" and asked for a photo of the truck on the trailer, to which he replied that he would have to check with his sales manager "Taylor," and couldn't provide any photos. At this point we contacted the owner of the warehouse in Houston, Texas where the pictures were stolen from and he said he had sold that truck over 1 year ago. He said he has already had to fight fraud with this same issue in the past. We also contacted the owner of the actual "Gettysburg Classic Cars" in Pennsylvania and he said we are not the first people that have contacted him about this. The ad has been reported to facebook, but we are not able to leave any details or comments about what happened there.

Since I'm not sure where the scammers are actually from, since they have stolen photos from Houston, Texas and a business name from Pennsylvania, I didn't input an actual location for them.

Hi again ,

Right now I'm in a military base (Omaha,Nebraska). We are training, getting ready for leaving the country. The delivery process will be managed by me. I think I can have it there at your home address within 3 working days. It will come with a clear title and reg. I am a member of the Marketplace buyer protection program and using this service you will get a 5 days testing period after delivery. During that 5 days testing period I will not be getting any money. I need to know if you are interested so I can ask Marketplace to send you the details on this deal. If interested just email with your legal name (your right full name 'cause it will appear on the papers), full postal address where you want the truck delivered and your cell phone # where you can be reached so we can get the ball rolling.

I paid $2500 at first then was asked for another $1000 for for transportation insurance.

It was Supposed to be delivered Sunday August 26 at 4:30.

Now not responding emails and the phone number where I been calling just sounds busy!!

Hope this doesn't happen to anyone else it sucks..??
