I’m sure there are.
But not in that group.

The larger photo was of a 3rd party conversion on which base vehicle I have no idea.

There is always one that wants to be picky.
The point was, be aware of scammers.

Interesting all priced at under £10k, not sure if coincidence or there is a reason why scammers choose to stay below £10k.

Saw on BBC news this morning scammers are now targeting funerals, how low can these people go, about time Meta spend more of their profits on stamping out scammers on their site, surly they could use their AI to find and remove adverts of this type.

Not picky , just accurate. If there had been a California in that group then your initial comment would have been accurate but instead, by highlighting that Conversion you gave the impression that you could not identify a California.

Facebook is full of idiots. Facebook marketplace is full of lunatics.

Both best avoided and anyone who seeks to buy anything there needs their bonce testing.

I suspect that whenever a marketplace, physical or virtual, gains a reputation for bargain buys, it will inevitably attract the scammers and the vulnerable.
The OPs message is a welcome reminder to be on your guard, whether buying a vehicle or whatever.

As I say, you are being picky and missing the point of my post.

Your point remains. Thank you for the heads-up. I have seen many ads selling "Californias" that definitely are not. To the initiated the difference is obvious, to many less so.

Some people take pedantry to an art form.
