Is that really a thing? People take your pictures and put them on their site to sell using you basically as a supplier? Are they doing that so that they don’t have to pay for product they just wait until they get paid for your item and then buy it from you? That’s a new one that I hadn’t heard of. Wow! People can be such dirtbags!
This is a thing.
I ordered a new GPS from one web site showing and advertising item is new. It took over two weeks to arrive. I received a used item from a totally different person. There was a SD Card inside the unit that had video of a trip around town showing the city and address of where vehicle parked and even tag numbers of other vehicles in the yard. I confronted seller and they stated they were out of stock and instead of having me wait they ordered it from their supplier but did not know that the item had been retuned.
They just made up the story. I had already searched eBay for the exact unit and save a few. Since the serial number was present on some of the eBay offerings I checked and it had the same number as one on eBay that sold a few days earlier.
I had a nice vehicle for sale with very nice pictures. A person contacted me wanting the serial number. They were supposedly an hour away and did not want to come look at vehicle. I offered to bring it to them but they did not want to do this either. They said their friend owned a dealership and would do a Car Fax before they looked at it. I offered to bring it by the Dealership as I would be in town so the Car Dealer could look it over. They did not want to do this either, they just wanted the serial number. I did not give it to them.
It was a scam, my photos showed up on another web site with the vehicle priced way below value. The goal is to get some unsuspecting person to send a down payment and then you can never get in contact with them again. The vehicle seems more legitimate if the serial number is provided.
