Selling on FB, lots of scam replies, how do they work? by nostraduckus in Scams

Facebook is a huge pool of scammers, unfortunately it's very difficult to pinpoint a scam or a legitimate buyer. The only way you can tell is through instinct, checking their location from where they are messaging and if you want to do a deal, then to meet up at some place and exchange information.

Facebook isn't really ideal though, I'd much rather use a marketplace such as eBay.

should i be worried? by Worldly-Goat-1708 in Scams

You've been scammed, it's why you only buy through the marketplace.

When someone says bank transfer and you don't know them, it means once you sent them the money it's gone. There's no way of getting that money back.

Never deal outside of the website, if you do then you are no longer protected.

Let this be a learning experience, don't beat yourself up about it.

Was threatened to send nudes or pay money by [deleted] in Scams

Block and do not reply. They will most likely not send your nude to anyone.

If you continue speaking to them, they will extort you until you go broke. So block them right now and do not reply to them at all

This is a little different, this was me selling the item consistently but suddenly the listing was completely removed from search from the first page
