Tool Set (Too good to be true) SCAM

Apart from the obvious bargain price, all is in the details.
As far as I can see from the small pics:
Pin is incorrect,
Small pliers are incorrect,
Large pliers is incorrect
Small red screwdriver is incorrect.
I can't comment with confidence on the rest, as the pics are too Small. I don't do Facebook...
Anyway, the tray alone looks very nice, and that would already cover most of 280 usd asked.
Also the 3ring and 3open spanners seem to be correct, and quite rustfree. those alone fetch >150 usd if sold separately.

Pics are from the 2020 auction, that was discussed here on forum as one of the top price toolboxes, so 100% scam.

Not a member so can’t see but it needs to be reported
Chris, I reported it. Not sure if FB will pull it.
Bad scam for that matter, he didn't even bother to look up the FAQ tool section!
I think it is same guy from two months ago who used my tools in his pics.
I am in several fb groups for old motorcycles, seems like there is at least one scam a day, if it is on fb, not in marketplace, I would assume it is a scam, easy to find out, ask them to send you a photo of the item with your name on a sign
