PSA - Scam guitar stores on facebook

Exorcist

Seen a few of these in the last few days popping up and offering guitars for sale in guitar groups, always happy to ship to the UK. Looks like they find a guitar shop that has shutdown and then create a fake profile using the address or variation of, complete with fake posts, fake reviews in some cases, they look legit at fist glance, I appreciate everyone here is pretty savvy - but just to highlight this really... for example:
https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61584453036010 - offered a nice 65' junior for sale
and today https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100082129526801 offering another vintage junior for sale

I'm not on Facebook and haven't been for over 10 years so can't see all the links you posted but would like to know a bit more about this so I can warn others.

How does the scam work? They set up a fake Facebook page posing as a legitimate business and offering items for sale and then what? How do they get your money?

yes, they setup a legit looking facebook account looking like a guitar store business, then they offer guitars for sale in various facebook guitar groups. They will ask for payment via paypal friends/family or other ways where it is difficult to get a refund. Facebook doesn't care and even after the page has been reported, they just take a cursory look at the account and decide there is nothing wrong with them. Bonkers really...
