Fake ads selling "Family Tradition BBQ" trailer

Complaint

Scammer posting fake ads on craigslist for food trailers, using the number 402 413-0092.
The ads usually have pics of a trailer with a "Family Tradition BBQ" sign on it.  The pics were stolen from another site.
If the seller will not give you an address or refuses to meet you, it's a scam.

    "Thank you for being interested in purchasing my 2013 Food Concession Trailer that I have for sale. The condition of the Trailer is excellent.  Make:  Rolling Star, Length (feet): 16, Type: Concession Trailers,    Model Year: 2013, Hitch Type: Bumper Pull, Enclosed Trailer: Yes, Manufacturer – Rolling Star, Barneveld, New York , Custom Build, Commercial Refrigerator & Freezer, 3 bay sink, Winholt Warming Cabinet, APW Wyott 48” griddle, HT Series Gas hot food steam table, Advantco 35 lb gas fryer, 100 lb propane mounted under trailer, AC/Heat, 6 ft stainless exhaust hood,  3 ft prep table, Serving window, Power Awning, 30 gallon Fresh water tank, 40 gallon grey water tank. I am selling it for $1,600. Because of my divorce settlement, I own this Trailer and I don`t need it, so I'm trying to sell it asap. I gave the Trailer to eBay shipping company in Topeka, KS who will deliver it to the next owner. Shipping and handling is free and you can receive it in 2-4 days depending on the destination. The best part about this is You are granted a 5 day trial period for inspection and test drive prior to making the purchase and also if for any reason you are not satisfied with the Trailer you can have it shipped back at no expense for you of inspection and shipping for free. I will post it on eBay and I will send you the link where you can buy it very easy without an account or something hard. I have 696  feedback on ebay. You will pay on ebay and they will hold  your payment until you receive and inspect the Trailer . eBay will release the money to me ONLY with your approval.

    If you are ready to buy it and you have the cash available, please reply with your zip code and phone number. I need to verify if I have free shipping in your area.
    Thank you and God Bless!"

      You're welcome.  Glad you weren't scammed.

      There is no "eBay shipping company," nor is there an "eBay buyer protection plan" for sales made outside of the eBay site.  The eBay links they send you are fake.
      Nobody is going to ship a trailer for a "5 day trial period."

    This is from whycall.me:
    "Still doing the same old food trailer scam.. The trailer is listed as in Florida, but the map shows an Atlanta location and posted on Atlanta craigslist.   Too many red flags ... Price is way too low for what is listed.  Too much equipment to fit in the trailer size listed.  And for the 'brand new generator' to run all the equipment listed, it would have to cost more than the $1600 they have listed the trailer for.  This person is not only a scammer but a stupid one.  I only looked it up because I don't like to mark this prohibited without doing my homework..  Please help keep these scammers off the sales sites.  They are giving us legitimate sales people a bad name."

      They've been doing this for 2 years that can be documented. She's using the same name & #'s. They wouldn't still be doing this if it weren't successful. Why can't she/they be turned in to authorities for fraud, or some sort of cybercrime offense.
      They're currently running this ad in denver colorado. All 8 ads have been flagged.
