2 News listened to a moms warning to others about buying vehicles online after she bought a truck off of Facebook Marketplace, which is now out for $2,000.Johnna Brown is a single mom who is self-employed by cleaning houses. She is also very active in her small town of Avant, where she owns a clothing store and food pantry for anyone in need.But last week her KIA Sorento completely broke down and she was left with no car, causing her to cancel on clients.So every day I dont work is a day I dont get paid, Brown said.Brown went to Facebook Marketplace and found a seller with a truck for $2,200 but offered Brown $2,000.Got all the money together that we could, I found this old truck said it ran well, the mileage was low, shouldve known then, Brown said.She and her mechanic were planning on going to Muskogee to pick up the vehicle together, but the seller told her due to time constraints their time wouldnt work. So Johnna went with a friend and her daughter to pick it up.When she met the seller, he introduced himself and it wasnt the same name as the man on Facebook but Brown said he was a friend just helping out.My mechanic told me everything to do check the fluids, take pictures, sent him pictures, everything seemed fine,Once the payment was made and Brown had the title and keys, she began driving back to Avant. Thats when things took a turn.Brown said the truck began to break down and could barely go. She called the seller, and he told her his dad would buy it back for $2,000 but she continued home.After a long drive trying to get the car to go, she finally made it back and took it straight to her mechanic. Thats when she said the truth was revealed.He raised the hood, like everything had additives put in it, all the fluids. The oil was foamy, milky looking, and the odometer had been pushed back, Brown said.The truck was ruined. Brown called the seller back, asking if his dad still wanted the truck. Thats when she said the seller became irate.Thats when he told me Im not about to sell my dad a piece of (explicit) and then he started texting me were crazy and theres no way were getting our money back, Brown said.Brown also realized the VIN number on the door of the truck matched the title but when she looked it up on Kelly Blue Book the trucks VIN number did not match the vehicle on the website.She immediately called the police and found the tag was out of Nowata and police told her the only thing she could do was sell the truck for parts.Police both in Muskogee and Nowata told her there was nothing they could do because it was a civil matter through the Cherokee Nation because the tag and title are Cherokee.They told me, basically theres not anything we can do, you can take him to tribal court, itll be a lengthy process and very costly, probably for you because hes not going to pay for it, Brown said.Brown told 2 News she felt embarrassed and humiliated that she fell for a scam like this. Now she wants to warn others not to fall for the same thing.He (the seller) told me I would rather work with women, theyre easier to deal with. Theyre easier prey, Brown said.2 News asked Johnna how she and her daughter have been doing since this all happened.Ive missed five jobs so were just trying to recoup emotionally, physically, financially, Brown said.She said they dont have a plan right now, but many have been helping. An old client is letting her drive their car and a GoFundMe page has been made to raise money to get Browns car fixed.Its hard for me to take help because I help, Im the helper, not the helpee so I told her I wont rob you of a blessing, Brown said.If you would like to donate to help Brown click here.Stay in touch with us anytime, anywhere -- Download our free app for Apple, Android and Kindle devices.
