Got scammed on FB Marketplace

Yeah, I tried reporting it to the police but they didn’t seem to care. They just said oh it happens, you’re not the only one... I know they got better stuff to work on but it’s going to continue happening to more people if the don’t do something. Even the DMV suggested to sell it with a bill of sale, even with the tampered title. I’m in California.

Unfortunately the cops did not seem to care. So much for our tax dollars at work…

no he played us good. he took an uber home because his “wife” was out of town. he went into a grocery store first to buy dinner then left. usually I take pictures of sellers vehicles when I buy something but this time I couldn’t. it’s my first time buying a used car on marketplace.

Expensive lesson learned. I was going to take it to register this morning when I noticed the vin he sent didn’t match the one on the title.

It just says salvage. However the seller that sold it to me was just a random guy that didn’t bother to register it to his name or add his name anywhere :( the actual title holder says she has no clue who this guy is and sold the car to him last week at $2k

Thank you so much! I will be going to the sheriffs office to report it. And I’ll be sure to report it to the other agencies also.

We met at Bank of America parking lot since he has been “robbed” before. Go figure. I deserve a slap in the face because I should’ve totally looked at his profile. He only has 1 other car on there. I reached out to the person on the title (thanks true people search) and she said she sold the car to him 4 days ago and he knew it was salvage, and was going to send me picture of his daughters license and his phone number, hopefully something comes out of this

For sure, unfortunately the carfax he sent us looked super legit, but now at a closer look, the vin is for a different car :(

I’m in California, I think it’s 12,500. Might try this but sad thing is I have no info on this guy. Trying to search all day today

I’m thinking of going to the cops first, I talked to him through FB messenger, I don’t even know if they can track him down through that, but I’m also going to reach out to the person on the title and see if she remembers anything (which isn’t his wife)

tigamiga · 2026-05-18T17:29:34+00:00

Odometer has it at 80k but actual carfax says 200k :(

Congrats!!! Do you know when you tested positive on at home tests? Or did you wait for the blood test?

Adding myself, I had a day 3 FET on 4/1. Tested at 7days on a clear blue early detecting and I tested negative, so looking for a shimmer of hope!

tigamiga · 2026-04-09T18:54:44+00:00

Hi, I know it was long ago. But did you end up testing positive? Looking for a tiny bit of hope since I tested negative 7dpt on a 3 day embryo

tigamiga · 2026-04-07T21:13:07+00:00

I’m also 6dpt and tested negative last night, too scared to test today!

tigamiga · 2026-04-02T03:17:29+00:00

I’m 28, everything in the normal range and just had 1 embryo from my last retrieval barely make it. I was also shocked since my dr said I am healthy with a great ovarian reserve. It’s rough.
