Free boat scams exploit the "dream of boat ownership" by dangling too-good-to-be-true offers on platforms like Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist. The hook is usually a pristine vessel offered for free or a nominal fee because of a "divorce," "death in the family," or "urgent relocation."
The scam typically unfolds when the "seller" claims they are currently out of state and requests that you pay for shipping or storage upfront via untraceable methods like wire transfers or gift cards. In reality, the boat doesn't exist. You lose your deposit, and the scammer vanishes, leaving you with nothing but a lighter wallet.
