Angry Toyota Rav 4 Limited 2016!!!!!!!!!!

This post is another SCAM. Every vehicle post for 2000.00 even (very cheap price for a newer car) is a SCAM from another country. Please be aware and help stop these posts!!!!!

Can you tell us how you know? I looked at the ad, the telephone number is in Corpus Christi, Texas and the user name does not show up on the TOTV member list. Ok this would raise my suspicions but doesn't clinch for me that it is a scam. The only criteria for classified that I found, so far, is that it must be posted by a Villages resident. Puzzling.

Hi,

I forgot to say thank you to alerting us to this (not that I'm in the market for a RAV-4 but it helps to learn what the bad guys are up to.

Looks like it's back for a third time?

Now it's a 2006 with a third row seat.
(Rav4's don't have third row seats)

Moderator, is there a way that ads are not accepted from anyone other than registered (aka validated) users? Also, if a registered user abuses this right, they are immediately removed and all access blocked?
Just my humble suggestion.

I called on this ad over the weekend and they demand payment ahead and eBay and then give you five days to approve the vehicle. Does anyone believe that vehicle is ever going to show up? I called Seniors Vs Crime and they agree it is totally a scam
