Hi guys,
I'm selling a Galaxy S21 on Facebook Marketplace and I believe I've run into a scam attempt. Haven't experienced something like this before..
So some guy (seemingly from a stolen account, as it is some British grandfathers account) messages saying he'll pay the $980 for the phone itself and $70 on top of that for me to send the phone to the US as a gift for his cousin. He then asks to see pictures of the phone, and I've just left the guy on read after that as everything felt way too suspicious.
My belief is someone from the US has stolen some innocent looking guys FB account, and is messaging me using that account to try to trick me into sending the phone to his hands in the US. Has anyone experienced similar?
Block and move on
Why would this even need a forum post?
