Type of a scam Phishing

I listed my boat for sale on the Boat Trader site on 8/29/2025. Within minutes of the listing, I got a response from an interested buyer (first sign of something is wrong). He asked to have a phone conversation, and I said OK, but it turned into a text messaging session. He asked what seemed to be legit questions at first. Then he insisted on me providing a report from thevesselinsights.com website. He gave me the URL address directly. I submitted the request as instructed. What was odd at the time was that the questions and the responses seemed to be AI generated. But the report came back really suspicious, but I submitted it to the potential buyer anyway. At that point the buyer made an appointment with me to see the boat. On the date (9/2/25) and time (11 AM) of the appointment, I received another text, canceling the appointment due to an emergency. No rescheduling date. At that point, I knew it was a scam, and I fell for it.
