To use Facebook Marketplace, you need a Facebook account. When browsing listings on Facebook Marketplace, this pops up,

yes it is. If I didn't have 17 years of shared memories documented there, I'd be gone. Marketplace is often helpful too, but WOW the scams and FRAUD there are insane-- and they freely keep doing it because they run ads and give Zuc the F*** money.

The fraud on Marketplace is absolutely insane - I have had to do bit of a background check on sellers selling cars on the Marketplace and I kid you not, many of those cars were either A). Stolen, B). purchased off an auction and sold privately through the marketplace, C). Pure lemons moments later after purchasing. A complete f****** waste of time.
The ads are insane too. I can't tell what is real versus AI versus completely out of this world.
The fact that US government and law enforcement won't do s*** to combat this amount of fraud is unsurprising - the fact that Jeffrey Epstein likely spent much of his time on Facebook finding desperate clients does not surprise me at all. So-called elitists think they can run ruthless and do whatever they want - they will be held accountable.
 
You should run the VIN number of any used vehicle you're looking at purchasing, checking the vehicle's registered history against the seller's story, and verifying it's not stolen. You should also know basic car mechanics, or bring along someone who does. This is used car buying 101—nothing to do with Facebook Marketplace (which is much better than Craigslist!).

I absolutely agree. Also have to be cautious of sellers resetting OBD codes and installing O2 spacers to convince the buyer there are no fault codes nor issues overall with the car. And sellers that clearly take it take it offensively when you ask them for a little bit of history of the vehicle. Carfax doesn't always reveal everything, unfortunately.
