A simple online transaction can turn troublesome if you’re dealing with unscrupulous people.
I had some stuff to sell, and so thought I’d try listing the items on Facebook Marketplace. I’ve never sold on there, but I have purchased several items and so, I created my ads and posted the items for sale.
Within just a few minutes, I was contacted via Messenger (without Facebook) by someone interested in an item. It was a pair of snowboard boots, and an Elizabeth Smith contacted me saying she definitely wanted them.
I had them marked for local pickup, but she said she wanted them shipped. I responded that I’m fine with shipping them. She asked for Zelle information. We exchanged information, and she then sent a screen shot that Zelle wasn’t able to send the money (but she was trying) and asked me to check the information I had sent.
