• Although not ebay, thought Id ask it here. Its not the first time im advertising something on FB marketplace, but its the first time I experienced this. I put up a TT disc wheel, and within a few hours 4 profiles contacted me.

    3 profiles of middle aged central european women with no cycling/tri related content on their profile, seemingly no friends/contacts from the UK. 1 profile of younger woman with 2 total pics, and profile is a "digital creator" page with followers instead of friends.

    All are asking for in-person pickup, then say it'll be their brother/sister coming to pickup, and they are asking paypal/bank details and to mark the item sold.

    Im about 99% sure that its a scam, but whats the scam?

    Oh and im happy to be wasting their time, its a moody saturday afternoon.

  • At the door, they will Probably show you a fake screen grab of a banking app to prove they’ve ‘sent’ the payment.

    Ask for actual cash. They will go quiet.
