there's been a similar scam going on with used cars in the classifieds. I was looking at a car for my daughter, got no reply on the phone no. listed, so sent an email and got some story about the seller being an Airline employee who had to leave the car in storage when they were transferred o/s.
Anyhow, they wanted a deposit paid before they'd fly in to meet for an inspection. Turns out this is rife at the moment with car pics being pinched from other legit ads and re-used.
