whenever i find and ad thats too good to be true, i always reverse image search their pic. and yes, it usually is too easy for ******** to scam these days. so yesterday i found a listing "69 charger" in maine, for $2000. heres the pic
clearly its a faded great condition B5 blue 70 charger. reverse image search find a number of links on it being a barn find big block b5 70 charger RT.
a few months back theres a listing in nh "$2000, old challenger rot box, get it out of my yard" clearly from the pics it was a 70 challenger rt/se small back window, rotting away. funny thing was i read the mopar blog about it, and the hotrod magazine, and the hemmings motor news, all of them, and instantly recognized the pictures.
what they do is pretend they know nothing, price it super cheap. usually pic mopars because even gm and ford guys know what they are worth. anyone who knows exactly what it is, bites, calls, gets the "holy crap im getting a boatload of calls, if you want it ill need something to hold it, do you have paypal, ill take a$1000 to take it off CL for you, and you can come get it, or we can work with you to ship it"
because its so cheap,. and us mopar guys tend to know exactly what they see in pics, and exactly what something like that is worth, even as a rusty heap. people dont think and say hell ya, 2 k, i need it now. list it, spend an hour answering calls, getting people to paypal them several thousand dollars, then close the ad, throw away the burner phone they used. quietly pay other paypals with that paypal account. and close it.
moral of the story always google image search an ad thats too good to be true. if you drag and drop an image into google, itll bring up any site that has the same image, and if just that cl listing shows up your good, if you get ten stories clearly showing its not really theirs to sell, run, flag it and report it.
