I’m thinking FaceTime with IDs and such is the only way I can think of
That's a good idea too, the bottom line is make a seller jump through a couple of hoops, if they aren't willing to take five minutes to close a multi thousand dollar deal, well, there's your answer. That's the whole point I was trying to make, make the seller do a tiny bit of work, if all they have are pics they stole off the web and are trying to sell a car they don't have they will quickly disappear if asked to go one step further. Hell, you can usually get rid of the scammers by just asking for a phone number.
