As mentioned, I have seen this one listed before also - but I’ve never inquired, so who knows.

No where in my post did I say listing on multiple sites/cities meant it was a scam. This truck has been discussed on several forums and NO ONE has ever gotten a response from the "seller". It has been popping up on C/L all over the country for at least a year. It is simply a way for the scammer to collect phone numbers/email addresses/personal data to sell to telemarketers or commit identity theft.
Kind of like all the ads you see on C/L for 4 or 5 year old cars in perfect condition and they are only asking $1051 for them.
