This company listed a car for sale on Letgo web app. The car was listed under what I assume is a fake name, Henry K Campbell in Jackson MS. The user was not verified. I contacted him via Letgo message asking if item still available. I got a response directing me to an online pawn shop US-Pawn.com. I went back and forth asking about payment and getting the bill of sale and title, etc. I also asked for VIN to run carfax,,, I did run it and that VIN was registered to a car dealer in New York,,,, funny thing is that car according to carfax should still be at that dealer The dealer does not have said car in his inventory. Whole thing is very shady. Beware…remember if it sounds to good to be true it probably is. I chatted with the dealership. The woman who answered my online chat seemed totally unconcerned that a vehicle carfax listed as in their possession as off January 2017 should be in their possession and is not. She would not answer any of my questions, but kept saying they could help me find a car. She wanted my name, email and phone number. Needless to say I did not give info . I would steer clear of *** *** *** ** *** ** just to be on the safe side…it was clear they only care about selling cars,
