Just over four years ago, an insurrectionist mob found each other online, descended on Washington, stormed the Capitol and threatened the vice-president with a noose. But that was the good old days. We’re living in a different reality now. One in which the billionaires have been unchained.
Scammers simply know how to scam. A common one is the scammer visiting a house (pretending to buy) with a newer lock that gives one time codes and leaving a different door unlocked. Then the scammer “rents” out the house (even though it’s only for sale) and tricks people out of a deposit and first month’s rent.
That isn’t on FB marketplace.
I know people who almost fell for this scam on Facebook Marketplace. However, they looked up the owner and called the owner themselves.
If you pay through the platform you won’t be scammed.
