WATCH WHAT YOU RESPOND TO

   From another form I am on a member when to buy a Skid Loader that was advertised in a Tractor Publication . The add ran in a well known and respected publication , and the web site and address brought up a dealer and location .
 Several pictures of machine were sent and other information .
He was ready to transfer funds but had a question on shipping - but got a vague answer so he contacted someone in Wyoming to check dealership on shipping . 
 NOW THE PROBLEM - The dealer ceased operations 5 years back . Someone cloned previous site and poses as still in business , paid for adds in publication , to make SCAM look real . 
  Wyoming Sec of State lists the business as Closed for tax purposes . No license or renewing of license or settlement noted . 
  So the SCAMMERS are setting up FAKE site and actually spending funds to look legit but are working new angles to fleece buyers .

	Yep, I have discovered this twice on FB marketplace! One was for a compact tractor, the other for a camper trailer. Not exactly the same scam, in that it (they) was/were not offered by 'dealers', but they were ads cloned from others. In both cases it all fell apart when I asked for addresses so I could examine in person. At that point, all I got was excuses, not straight answers.

	Oldest son had his Face Book account HACKED and they then changed his password and the E-mail account to respond to on FB . Next they got into his T Mobile phone account and changed passwords on that . Since he had his banking on phone they tried to access accounts there but bank said they needed in person verification to transfer and close account . ON the T-Mobile phone Hacker got them to change phone over to their phone sim so they intercepted all his phone calls , in fact his phone was working yet and T-Mobile sent him a number to call but when he got the text message from them the phone umber was not the same as he got when talking to rep - Hacker changed the texted number FB - well they said the SCAM ADD they posted on his site that he was selling a bunch my my assets to pay medical bills as I was in long term memory care . They let that add run - and several people sent deposits to Hackers to hold items for them as add said - ON inspection they could get a refund if item was not as advertised or they changed their mind on inspection . Odd the same add ran on 2 more sites I found out -one on my Cousin in Canada . Then got a response after I reported it to FB - they notified the HACKER his add was not right as sons father was not selling anything , so hacker changed the add to it was his uncles property he was selling - STILL NOT RESOLVED

	Sounds as bad or worse than the Phone and CC hack we had. Somsabiches. I EVER see someone in this game they will not see it coming and regret their birth.
