Default Scam ads

One of my more usual pastimes is trolling through classic American car sales sites and this morning I came across this advert for an XC ute, complete with Australian phone numbers ... https://www.cars-on-line.com/gen3-ca.../posting/52360

As the number plate is showing, I wonder if the owner knows?
