"In Southern California, officials are warning of a new Facebook Marketplace scam that left several victims not only down a significant chunk of change, but also without the secondhand vehicle they thought they had purchased.
This week, the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department arrested three suspects in the scheme that sold rented vehicles illegally on Facebook’s popular shopping platform for used goods.
The suspects are accused of renting an undisclosed number of vehicles, then selling them to buyers for cash. The suspects allegedly supplied the buyers with cloned keys and fake vehicle paperwork, according to a news release from the Sheriff’s Department.
After the transactions, the suspects followed the victims and stole back the vehicles, which they then returned to the rental agency — making off with the cash."
