Chanel E. Arnold contacted me thru messanger as soon as I placed item for sale on facebook marketplace. Said that she is interested and gave her cell number 812-301-7767 and to drop my cell to pick up item. I gave her cell number and then she wanted to verify if I’m not a scamer that she will send on my cell phone six digit verification code. After this message I stopped comunicating and a person sent several messages after that she send a code, to show her a code, if I’m still there

The scammer wanted to buy a desk that I just listed on facebook marketplance. She wanted to send me a verification code. When I sent it, she said my phone number was not verifiable and asked for another number. In the meantime, I had given her my name. I didn't give her another phone number so I didn't hear back.

I am selling a saw on Facebook Marketplace. Connie Garcia offered my asking price of $350, I accepted. She claimed she can pick it up tomorrow and pay cash so I gave her my address and phone number . She then asked to send a 6 digit verification code because she had been scammed before. She sent it and I was sceptical but returned it. She then immediately ended the chat and when i tried contacting her it came up unable to send text. I tried looking up her profile and there is no information about her in her profile other than i assume a fake picture.

This [censored] posted an Apple Watch Series 7 for sale for 75.00 I responded that i wanted the watch. He asked about meeting up and I asked if he could ship it in which he said yes. Then he came back with he posted it wrong, his wife wanted 125 for the watch. i said not I agreed to buy the watch for 75. he then said how about 100. I said since he was shipping it then i would pay the extra. He then asked for my address. and I asked for his payment methods, he gave me Christopher-jacobs-55 for his Venmo and then $Chrisj1023 for his cash app.

after a few days i didn't receive the watch, so i messaged him, he said he just sent it out, i asked for a tracking number or a pic of the receipt saying that he had sent it and from that point on, he has not had any other contact with me. I have messaged him several times asking for my money back but still no reply.

I came into contact with him on Facebook marketplace. I am not the only person he has done this to.

I contacted Venmo and they say that there is nothing that can be done. I am at a loss.

I thank you for any help I can get so that this [censored] won't do this to anyone else.

I've contacted them via Facebook multiple times. I placed the order, received confirmation, then nothing. I only received a message after posting on social media that it appeared to be a shame. O then received a message with what was alleged to be a USPS tracking number. This tracking number appears to be invalid.

I ordered a couch on Facebook Marketplace from a suggested ad for $59.99 and was charged for that and a foreign ATM fee of $1.80 and was sent a pair of sunglasses instead. I have no way to contact the company and they have not contacted me since debiting my card until I got the sunglasses with a thank you for ordering from the company. I DID NOT order sunglasses and do not know how to pursue the company to get my money back.

Approached on Facebook Marketplace by Judith Burns for a product I was selling. Asked for my phone number. Was persistent about it. I wouldn’t give it and asked theirs and they wouldn’t respond. Obvious phishing scheme to get my phone number to target me and those I know.

From FB Marketplace. Someone said they wanted to buy what I was selling, and asked me via FB Messenger for the address to pick it up. They asked for my phone, and texted me a "verification number" and asked me to tell them what it is so they know I'm legit. I told them. THEN, Person #1 added Person #2 to the messenger convo. Looked up both of their profiles and they were both locked down tight ('fake' FB profile(s)). THEN they asked for family and friends numbers, and that's when I shut it down. Now they know my phone and my address. I'm pretty sure they don't know my name, because my FB acct is a pseudonym. How do I find out if they have done damage? I notified my bank and changed my FB password. What do I do now?

Subject: Re: Any more pics of the SUV please?

Hello! Thank you for your interest, I'm the owner of the 2007 Honda Cr-v Ex-l Sport Utility, 96.678 miles. This SUV is in great shape. It has no damage, no scratches or dents, no hidden defects, one owner, 2.4L V4 cylinder engine (great on gas), tires and wheels are in great shape as well, power windows locks, electric is working perfectly. It is in immaculate condition, meticulously maintained and hasn't been involved in any accident... The title is in my name and is clear. I am selling it at this final price of $1.000 because my husband died 3 month ago (he had a heart attack) and it brings back bad memories. I decided to sell the house and so I moved to Fort Belvoir, VA trying to start a new life. That's the reason why I want to sell it asap and my last price is $1.000 including delivery to your home address. I want to use eBay services for the safety of both of us so if you’re interested in purchasing this SUV, I can notify eBay that you are selected as my possible buyer and they will contact you to explain the entire procedure.

If you are interested, please email me with your full name, shipping address and phone number. Best regards!</[email protected]></[email protected]>

In a matter of five minutes after renewing items on fb marketplace, 3 prospective buyers clicked on an item I have for sale. Then 2 requested my phone number and address. The other gave me a phone number to call.

I stopped the process with all 3 ‘buyers’.
