Description

I purchased a 2004 Toyota Tacoma Prerunner 4x4. I called the number that was advertised on OfferUp. The individual who stated her name was Jessica stated the truck has a clean title and only 111,350 miles on it. The number I called 805-392-3050 and 213-419-5470 both number are connected. I met an Hispanic male in his mid twenties and he too stated the truck has a clean title. The title did not show salvage title on it. I purchased the truck for $9000 cash and I was given the title. The following day I tried to register the truck to find that the vehicle has a salvage title and the odometer reading was rolled back. The odometer read over 234,000 miles on it. This is a violation of both federal and California state law. I called the number 805-392-3050 I spoke with Jessica who stated her son would call me to refund my money. I haven't heard from them. These individuals have other cars under the above numbers on OfferUp and Craigslist. They are a scam. Folks please beware!!!
