Missouri man sells a car to eight people on Facebook, then steals it back within 24 hours every time

A Kansas City man faces 14 felony counts for allegedly running a Facebook Marketplace scam, selling vehicles to multiple buyers and then stealing them back. Prosecutors say Mamadou Diallo used forged paperwork, convincing victims to pay thousands before the cars disappeared. The scheme reportedly occurred across at least eight sales in May and June 2025.
