Total money lost $600
Type of a scam Phishing

I posted an item for sale on a site called VarageSale and a person reached out saying they wanted to buy the item. This was on 11/11. They told me they’d send the payment via CashApp. After the payment was supposedly made I received an email from “CashApp Square” saying I needed to convert my account to a business account in order to complete the transaction. To do so the buyer would send an additional $200 and then I would need to refund the amount through another payment service like Zelle or PayPal. I trusted this so sent the money through Zelle but then they said it didn’t go through so to try again. I was also texting with the buyer (207-597-7126) and really thought it was legitimate so sent the $200 again through PayPal this time. The fake CashApp agent called me to explain that there was a server issue so I needed to wait 24 hours for the payment to be processed. The next morning (11/12) I sent an email asking if I went through. They said the server issue was resolved but because of the buyer’s PayPal limitations the payment didn’t go through so I’d need to send it again. I was a bit skeptical; however, despite the red flags and against my better judgment I sent the $200 again via PayPal. The scammer was smart because they knew if I sent it via friends & family the payment isn’t protected through PayPal’s protection services. Once I sent that additional payment I got an email from PayPal saying I’d contacted customer service, which I knew I had not done, so I knew for sure this was a scam. I told the persons I wanted my money refunded and they said it would be refunded after 12 hours which was obviously a lie. The buyer kept texting me the entire time saying he/she was also in contact with the (fake) CashApp agent and had gotten their money back - another lie I’m sure.

I contacted my bank, PayPal, CashApp and Zelle to make them aware of what happened.

I don’t think it’ll be possible to recover my money at this point but I really hate scams and when these scammers take advantage of people like me. I’m usually very good at picking up on scans but I let my guard down and they got me good. I want to make sure they don’t have the chance to scam anyone else in the future.

Below is the initial email I received:

Dear *************,

You have a pending payment of $112.00usd

We should be crediting your account now but we noticed the account has been limited and not a cash for business account so it can’t be credited so we need you to contact the buyer to send in the amount of $200.00USD to your CashApp account so it can be changed to a cash for business account and be credited immediately with $312.00USD into your account.

**PLEASE NOTE**

The additional payment option has been put on your buyer account to accept. And once refund of additional proof had been confirmed we will release the total amount to your account.

You will receive a "CONFIRMATION EMAIL" from CashApp® Team informing you that the Fund has been credited to your Account.
