Type of a scam Online Purchase

Ad on FB about a 2018 Jeep Wrangler RUBICON UNLIMITED… 15k miles, price $19,900. I knew this was about 20 plus thousand below the price of the Jeep in the pictures. The "PERSON" listed it was in MINT condition with no scratches, dents, dings, etc. "PERSON" claimed to have very limited knowledge of Jeeps, but the description on the page where it was posted was fairly indepth. Claimed Father In Law has recently died and she was too old for the Jeep and they did not need it. Conducted internet search and found multiple other items for sale from the email address. Name provided was a Elizabeth Peterson, I declined to provide. Requested VIN and got a valid2. VIN of 1C4HJXFG3JW12066  Was sent a phone number to call for Bend SWB Enterprises, which matched the phone number on their website. I did not bother to call. The site claims to be approved by the BBB, but they are not. They list on their website about how long they have been in business, but their Business was formed, December 2019. I gave no moneys and no information, other than my email. BE CARE SCAM.

Scammer/seller (Talia Hansen is named used) listed a food truck For Sale on Facebook. Truck photos and info look legit. There is even a VIN number that when checked matches the truck advertised. Scamming Seller claims her husband died a month ago and the truck gives her bad memories. She claims to be an officer with the Medical Corp of US Army and is at a military base set to deploy soon. Thus, there is a trucking delivery service (Bend SWB Enterprises) that will take the $15 in escrow, deliver the truck, and then buyer has 5 days to inspect prior to money being released to Seller. Website for Bend SWB Enterprises looks legit and a person answers the phone stating business name. I called US Army to see if I could verify this person as an officer (or in the Army for that matter) and the Army rep immediately flagged "SCAM". I called the police in Bend, OR, to check the business…..which does not exist. The address on the business website is actually an armored truck business NOT Bend SWB Enterprises. A scam through and through. The business does not exist.
