Thought I’d post a message here to warn people trying to sell something. I have my daughter’s old car listed in classified. I got a text from Jason at 442-200-1045 and seemed really interested. He asked about details and then sent a couple links, one was Procarfax. Com. Seemed weird so I googled it and it’s a scam. Had a few words of wisdom for him. Be careful

One dude was selling a boat and someone contacted him so he asked what type of previous boat he had or experience and the buyer responded with a car model not a boat.
Jason KaeferPosts: 6May 7, 2024 at 10:10 am #2271368Thanks for the heads up. Boats are a big one I’ve noticed lately on Facebook Market. Nice boat with pictures. You email them and they inform you they are the relative of the owner and they’re helping them sell it. They give you another email and that person will tell you they just went through a divorce and that’s why the boat is priced so low. Of course they can’t answer any questions regarding the boat, nor will they let you see it or give you an address where it currently is. Red Flags every step of the way….
