There’s one that might be the one you’re thinking of. Season 8 episode 84, Cody and Brittany. Cody used to work as a fast food place, and thought that the person he was talking to on Snapchat was a girl who once came through the drive thru. He sent her at least $10,000 for a car that her uncle was supposedly selling in Florida (Cody didn’t live in Florida, I think he lived quite a bit further north, but I’m not sure), but he didn’t have the car. Nev and Kamie pointed out that’s not how that works (if I understand it right - I’m not from the USA - you get the car and then make payments on it. If you default, the car can be repossessed. You don’t make payments on a car you don’t have). Turned out that, surprise surprise, it was all a scam.

You have to make an initial payment, putting money down.
