Buying remotely. Remember this thread? Seller had a copied fake website with the real address of a real car dealer, but a different phone number. Photos were stolen from another online ad. Buyer requested additional photos, which the scammer happened to have access to that were not initially posted (VIN, undercarriage, door jamb plate). Buyer arranged a PPI at a local shop. Called the shop for appointment. Seller then had accomplice call the buyer and pose as the PPI shop to verify the car.

Moral of story. Can't trust photos. Can't trust phone calls. Can't trust websites. Ask seller to send you a video of seller's driving the car, and seller saying "Ok, Boomer" as he shifts from 1st to 2nd gear.
