I don't get it, why go to the trouble of displaying the advert and not do it correctly? Sounds like they're either incompetent, lazy, feckless, or a combination of the above. I don't really get how it's a scam, but maybe that's me being thick? (Thick means stupid in England, not heavily set/lardy).
Basically the scam is in the pitch. They tell you that they'll get your vehicle (car, bike, RV) sold almost immediately. Often they'll even tell you they have a buyer lined up. What actually happens is that they have their computer auto post a few useless ads on useless websites. The actual agreement for the service will not have any of the glowing promises that you heard in the pitch (which is why getting a chargeback from the credit card company is unlikely).
If you post a vehicle for sale on a site like Craigslist or Autotrader, you're likely to get a call from these scammers.
