- [US] If I can physically go and see a car from Facebook marketplace, what scam could someone be running?

- Bought a used car off FB marketplace, the Title cannot be transferred at DMV
A person in Oregon purchased a used car from Facebook Marketplace but cannot transfer the title due to a 'jumping title' issue. The title shows Person A as the seller and Person B as the buyer, with no updated transfer to the current owner. The DMV rejected the transfer, citing the need for an updated Tennessee title, and the seller is now unreachable.
