    How does the scam work? The truck obviously isn't being sold by whoever is posting these but what scam do they try to pull to prevent you from seeing/test driving before buying? They want you to send $ before seeing the truck?

    Working on them
    Many of them are just after Your Contact information like phone number, Email address and what ever else they can get and then they sell that information as "live" verified contact to another scammer.
