    Little Rock seems to be a hotspot for the scam trucks LOL. Just for fun, one of those 2 trucks we seen earlier on there, I text them. They text back 2 days later and said yes they have it and need my email to send me the information on the truck....

    You can find ready to work trucks all over the place.

    They've practically flooded my local ads.

    And trucks aren't the only thing they have ready to work.

    Trailers, Bobcats, just about anything is ready to work.

    I would never wire that much money to even my mom. deposit is the most you should ever send worst case scenario.
    Otherwise if I win it I’m coming. With cash

    First rule in online transactions. "NEVER WIRE MONEY TO AN UNKNOWN". I would have set up a PayPal account, and had the transfer thru their bank.
    As the OP stated, he was made whole, but with PayPal there are a lot more protections and refunds are faster in the deal goes south.

    I may have found one, but it won't hurt to look.

    I spent 15 years fighting paypal for $100.

    Took a complaint to the attorney general for them to pull their head out of their A.
