So what's the con here?
Set up fake profile with 100s of photos and friends.
List something at near market value.
Wait for someone to ask to come and collect.
Reveal true location.
Wait for buyer to ask if they'll post.
Reply 4 days later with postage costs.
Send an empty box with legit tracking etc.Seems long for £150. Or am I being really naïve and the seller is actually a bot and not a wholesome mum who puts kisses at the end of her messages?

Not 100% sure tbh, but have noticed scammers are playing the long game more and more - spending a while building up trust, before an ‘oh this didn’t/won’t work, could you use [other payment method]’.
It’s possible I’m being jaded/overly cynical here too, of course!

The fb account could be legit, but recently compromised 🤷

I guess they're getting that £150 from about 30 different people at the same time though

having recently been scammed on fb, these seem fishy as fuck and I would steer well clear from any ad that isn’t cash on collection now
