    I find this a lot of times on the net. I did find an 04 DC the other day with 47,000 original miles sitting at an older man's house. I pulled in and knocked on the door but he had sold it the day before. I was like well "that's my luck"....

    I see both Craig's list adds have been flagged. They were listed at $1000 for it with only 52,000 miles

    Yeah. They are all over Craigslist. I've been seeing them on letgo as of late, too. I worked one scammer for over 2 weeks before I dropped the bomb and told "her" I knew it was a scam. It was one of those, "I am in the military and the truck is in storage in another state. Send the funds and I will ship it to you" type of scam.

    I did the same thing. It just happened that they advertised it close to me. I told them I would pay cash and meet them in person. Then it was "crickets". Haha

    I saw someone on the SF Bay Craigslist advertising a "2004 Toyota Tacoma SR5 Town & Country" with "Full Power & Heated Leather Seats" and a "Motorized Sunroof" with only "47k original miles".
    He was only asking $4,000. I knew it was fishy so I reverse image searched it and the pictures of the truck popped up all over the internet.
