Type of a scam Online Purchase
Selling a vehicle for an outrageously low price on facebook. Said fb marketplace was handling the transaction. We needed to go get some certain type of money cards from CVS, don’t register them and call them with the card #s. The vehicle would be shipped to our door in IL from fb marketplaces storage lot in nebraska. The woman had lost her husband a month ago and just wanted the vehicle gone. An invoice was created with the fb logo that looked legit. Called the provided marketplace number to ask general questions and they told me to look on fb and eventually hung up on me. When I called it was a recorded message saying I had reached facebook marketplace with a few options to choose from. I tried calling back several times, couldn’t get anyone, called from my husbands phone, same guy with an accent picked up. He hung up on me. 18883018877
