Fake escrow, overpayment checks, 'shipping agent' buyers — the marketplace scams targeting Florida cart sellers, and how selling direct avoids all of them.
Call for Today's Offer — 954-740-1983Golf carts are high-value, easy to move, and often sold by retirees — which makes cart listings a favorite hunting ground for scammers. Here's what's circulating in Florida right now:
A "buyer" sends a cashier's check for more than your price and asks you to refund the difference. The check bounces days after your bank shows the funds as available — and you're out the refund and possibly the cart.
An out-of-state buyer "can't come in person" and will send a shipper after you accept payment through their escrow link. The escrow site is fake; the link harvests your banking details.
A "buyer" asks you to read back a Google verification code "to prove you're real." That code sets up a Google Voice number in your name for future scams.
Not a scam, but the most common outcome: weeks of "is this available?", haggling, and appointments nobody keeps.
Sell to a direct, local buyer who pays at pickup — in person, cash in hand, before the cart moves. That's exactly what we do. Call 954-740-1983: one call, no links, no checks, no strangers.
