I began a marketplace transaction with an individual identifying self as Rachel Clark. Requested Zelle transfer but I do not have Zelle so opted for chime. Initial payment $1100 in gift cards. Followed by subsequent tool offerings resulting in additional $900, including $250 for shipping. Item initially delayed because son was admitted to hospital. Followed by delay related to seller being hospitalized. Followed by son dying. Followed by courier mishandling parcel. Followed by report from seller that she found an attorney willing to accept case for $700, followed by ghosting. Had multiple individuals receiving funds ~ Kaitlin Scott, Susan Plog, Julie Gunter. I’m totally embarrassed for having allowed myself to be duped. Have completed multiple marketplace transactions and have never been in this situation.

Janet Medrano had a listing for a vehicle on Facebook Marketplace. She said that it was to be delivered by shiply after payment was sent and that shipping was free. After paying the money, $3500, the tracking number they gave me and the website that was for tracking was non existent. Then i could no longer find this woman on my facebook anywhere.

Big red flag for my son is when the scammer on Facebook Marketplace asked to pay through Zelle then asked for an additional $150 for insurance purposes. We lost $225 total to the seller from [email protected].

I purchased a refrigerator on Facebook Marketplace, and although I made sure all of the parts required to install the panel doors were included and I saw pictures of them, the installers arrived 3 hours late and without the parts. They made an appointment to bring the parts 3 days later, but never showed up. They then made another appointment for Saturday and did not show up. They did not respond to texts or phone calls ever again. The refrigerator was also damaged in ways that they did not disclose. Tony Ge claimed it was a brand new floor model, but that was obviously untrue. One minor scratch was disclosed, but in reality there were multiple dents and parts missing and an LED shelf not working. I repeatedly asked for their business license before purchasing, but they showed up without it. They never got me the missing parts, that you can't even purchase because they are factory installed. Horrible experience. I was totally ripped off for $4800.

It was a Facebook Marketplace rental scam. They kept asking for money before letting someone move into a house that they never had any intention of letting them move in. I lost $1900.

I received a response about an item I am selling on FaceBook Marketplace. They said they were at work and could they have my phone number so her husband could call or text me to arrange the sale. I gave it to her. Then she said she was going to send me a verification code to prove I was real. I said she could check my Facebook page and see I was real. She said there were a lot of scammers and she was trying to protect herself. I gave her the code she sent me.

I attempted to purchase a piece of horse-riding equipment on Facebook off a page specific to the purpose. I saw a bit i wanted and contacted the seller. I promptly paid on Nov. 19. The next day they asked if I wanted more bits and I said no. Immediately after the FB page disappeared and no bit was ever delivered. The Venmo name was Brett Bachhofer, and he is still on Venmo.

Scammer listed a property not owned by them on Facebook Marketplace as a rental. I drove to the property and looked; it was exactly what I was looking for. I provided my phone number, and the Scammer texted me. He claimed that he had divorced and moved to California as he just got custody of his girls and wanted to rent out his Montana house. He claimed that the Realtor was being too greedy, so he decided to rent it out himself, even though the Realty sign was still in the yard. He asked for a picture of myself, my credit scores, and my email for the application. The email he sent for the application was so completely unprofessional that I started to have doubt. He said once I was approved, I could overnight a cashier's check and he would overnight me the keys to the house.

Next day, I was telling my boss about it and he wanted me to make sure it wasn't a scam first. As I looked online, it was clearly a scam. The property was listed with the Realtor and other trusted sites and was NOT a rental at all. Thankfully a previous victim had put the name Anthonly Salazar out there and I was able to clearly identify this as a scam. Anthony had 4 properties listed on Facebook Marketplace and all of them were scams. I reported them on Facebook and they were all removed.

I was looking to purchase an RV on Facebook Market place. I "messaged" the Facebook contact, Ariana Alex. She told me she was selling for her Aunt and gave me the Aunt's email address.

After contacting the Aunt she sent me the following: I'm a flight attendant at United Airlines and because I'm away most of the time I will not be able to deal in person. Before leaving I had arranged the deal with eBay so my presence is not necessary. The RV is already at the shipping company in Montana ready for delivery

because someone agreed to buy it, but in the end he never got the loan (the price was different then). For this reason, the shipping is already paid for and it takes 3 working days to arrive. I will use eBay in this transaction for our protection. If you are not aware of this program, you should know that it will allow you to test and inspect the RV before paying me. The inspection period will be set to 5 days and I think that is enough time for you to make a decision about it. If you won`t like my RV you notify eBay and you send it back at my expense, but I assure you that won't be the case.

If you want to continue the purchase, please reply with your full name, delivery address and phone number so I can start the transaction with eBay and ask them to send you the terms of this transaction (with no further obligation or fees). I apologize for the long email but I couldn't explain the process in fewer words.

I sent her my name, address and telephone number.

An "invoice" was emailed to me from "eBay". We appreciate your business and thank you for choosing eBay. You can find the invoice for your item 2005 Winnebago Minnie 27L attached to this email . For a better understanding on how to complete your transaction it is necessary for you to read the invoice carefully. If you need help, please contact our Customer Support Department at:+1 (201) 477-0027?

The invoice requested I send $1,400 in prepaid eBay cards

I then searched for Scam on the internet and found this exact Scam on your website.

Sellers Name listed as Lisa Miller, 493 S. Park Ave, Helena, MT 59601

I saved the email communications, invoice, and Facebook message

I was using Facebook Marketplace, as I have many times before. This person was very responsive, her account looked legit, she had many postings, she has multiple social media accounts under the same name, and she was very descriptive of the item I was to receive. As soon as I paid her, she absolutely stopped responding. I can’t get ahold of her. Never got my item. She’s been reported and flagged, so hopefully others don’t make the same mistake I did. But I’m still out money.

I placed a dress for sale on MarketPlace_facebook and the scammer texted me to buy the dress. Then, the scammer wanted me to believe that they paid the money to my husband zelle's account as we agreed. So I provided them my husband's email, phone number and name; however, my bank account did not show any money received from scammer. Scammer made up fake proofs of payment and wanted me to refund the money that I did not receive. I did not pay the scammer but the scammer has my husband's name and email address. I need help to to ensure that the scammer won't be able to harm us.

Thank you

I tried to buy a Yeti cooler off of Facebook Market Place in February. The person sent me some piece of crap cooler. I made two separate orders for ($144 for one Yeti cooler) and another order for ($137 for a thief Yeti Cooler) I never tricked a Yeti Cooler but a huge dented up scraped up dented cooler that did not match the description. The seller hasn’t refunded me and it’s been over a month. I’ve filed two separate claims with PayPal that keep post pining my resolution date. The seller hasn’t reached out to me to make it right or refunded me. I do not want the cooler they sent me but refuse to spend my own money to ship it back, since they clearly scammed me. Just about $300 later and over a month later, I still have not received my money. Even tho, I reported to Facebook, PayPal, and now the ScamPulse.com because I’d like my money back. I never authorized my money to be fake. Out of my account for anything other than a Yeti. I still haven’t received anything from the seller trying to make it right. I was scammed and the worst part is one of these coolers was supposed to be a gift for my friend whose getting married. Now I’m negative 300 dollars and still without a present, spending hours typing up my disgusting situation and this all take my time away, we’ll the scammer has had my funds for over a month.

I purchased a grooming table from a Facebook, marketplace seller . It showed shipped via UPS, transferred to USPS, delivered to a parcel locker. USPS told me it was a scam and I never received. I filed a dispute with PayPal/Discover who reviewed and said seller provided proof, apparently of nothing. I reported to Facebook, nothing. If you look at this seller’s Facebook seller reviews you will see reviews showing him as a scammer. How do I stop the next person from paying for nothing?
