Yeah I grew suspicious when they wanted payment first and I couldn’t look at the car. I asked for a photo of the title and she didn’t respond to it. The first tell tale sign of a scam that I should’ve acknowledged is any charger listed for 24 grand lol

Many times on the FB if you click on the seller and look at other items posted, you will find the same picture for sale in like 14 states LOL.
But really, if it is too good to be true, it is. Especially if it is a nice clean looking vehicle.
In WI, they use rust free toyota trucks LOL. "holy hell! a rust free 2006 toyota for 3 grand! I bet it's already sold! Martha grab your coat!!"

I've noticed a lot of mopar scam ads on Facebook lately

The scams are pervasive, and don't bother reporting. Facebook does nothing about it. I reported a single car for sale in about 20 different ads, sellers, and locations.... all rejected by FB as "meeting their standards". And it's not limited to sellers. I think there are actually even more buyer scammers.

Sad very sad. Even my '66 Coronet wagon I sold year's earlier showed up for sale with even my pictures in my yard. I called the guy I sold it to and he said no way I'm not selling it it's a scam.
Reported but never heard any response.
Just be smart buy in person only I say, we work hard for our money.

Yeah and then the people that aren’t scammers always get banned from marketplace

No, the first telltale sign it is a scam is the price. It is low enough to take advantage of people's greed and they always want to put some sort of expediency about the deal so you don't have time to think it through. The mopar for sale groups are wrought with scammers. I always take extra precautions and look at the seller's profile. Most are created the week the ad was listed. So many actually list where they are really from. Lol. Like africa, puerto rico, india, etc. It's pathetic.

I personally know someone who was a victim to a scam. He's a knowledgeable car guy who has a few cars. He spotted a Mopar he had the hots for, and it cost him. It was a rare Mopar for a price too good to be true, so he jumped at the bait. He told me after it happened, and I told him I could've advised him it was a scam instantly.

Earlier today I relisted my 04 3500 on Autotrader. Within minutes I was contacted by a potential buyer. He requested that I use "Vehichecks.com" for vin check info. I tried several times to purchase the info for this guy, but it kept kicking my Amex and Visa out unless I went to another page. I didn't do that. I went to Carfax and got one, but this other was supposedly better. Turns out it's a scam site. It also hits Marketplace and Craigslist. Have a new Amex coming just in case and Visa is being watched.

There's adds on FakeBook saying Harbor Freight is giving away free tools and tool sets just for the shipping. There's even several replies to it saying they did this and got their tools. Big scam, even has people replying to the add. Harbor Freight doesn't give away free tools.

They give away free stuff from China all the time but not expensive tools.

Use Google image search. It can find the old add the pictures were stolen from.
