This is his email to me :

Sorry for my late response but I am out of civilization and my connection is bad.
I am working overseas with Weatherford International and I don't know when I will return because of this pandemic.
The car is located at the auto broker in Portland, OR, crated and ready to go. The car belonged to my father that recently passed away. I propose to close the deal through an auto broker, in a safe and easiest way possible for both of us. The payment will be sent to their account, they will keep the money until you receive the car. After delivery, you will have a 7 days inspection period before you decide if you wish to keep it or not. I will ship it anywhere for free if you are ready to buy.
Comes with a clean title, manuals and service history records. It has zero problems, no accidents.
If you are still interested please let me know so I can give you their contact info.
I attached the pics here. VIN: JTEHT05JX42066685

The vin belongs to a totaled truck in FL. Luckily Googled helped me with that without paying for a VIN search. Total Scam.

Ha! I just realized it was for a different truck, but same scam story...https://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/detail/808320939/overview/?aff=atempest&utm_source=AutoTempest&utm_medium=TRP&utm_campaign=atempest

I wish there was a way to flag these to cars.com, but I couldn't figure it out.
