Really, click bait. scam?  Can't say what the homes in RI look like, but it's not like palm trees in an ad from Minnesota.  OK, it's not an automatic like he said, but what am I missing?    Oops, need the ad huh?

 

Rats, advertised by an empty MC shop, from Delaware to Phoenix.

If on FB marketplace, the latest round of scams seem to be listed by businesses or other groups or organizations, but occasionally I also see individuals. 

If their profile doesn't show the same picture used for multiple ads in different cities, then it might be legit.

Exactly! I've seen it a lot with campers and pickups.

Usually a $1000 - $1200 price and a lot of time the ad includes "must sell today"

The amount of scams on FB marketplace seems to have increased significantly recently, especially at the lower price range.  Not surprised to see it in the over 2K arena, too.

Not saying it's not a scam but,  Broken Arrow is very close to Tulsa.
