Watch out,looks like Scam on Facebook Marketplace

[southern_tango]

Hello everyone, just a heads up, I came across a couple of suspicious ads in Facebook Marketplace...

They appear to be in Melbourne but when you message them, they are in another state...

Maybe I am wrong but it is suspicious....

There's a Pro-ject 6 Perspex SB in Bathurst that's being sold at a ridiculously low price by a locked profile where the user name and the FB name are nothing alike too...  Buyer beware.  

As always, if it looks too good to be true...

Never even consider a product that’s being sold by someone that’s joined Facebook in the same year, most likely a scam. Once you are wise to what a scam account looks like they are easy to spot.

Yep.

Social media is a blight on society. Some evil bastards out there

A nice reminder about why our Classifieds can boast the following stats:

 

Some criticise (and in some cases, borderline abuse!) our Seller's Fees and policies/guidelines, but that is what allows us to dedicate the amount of time and resources, checking and curating every single ad, and protecting the members of the community here to maintain the above stats.

 

That last 1% of feedback is also important to me, so we continue to strive to improve the system.

I remember seeing the Linn and immediately blocked it and notified Facebook, not that they would do anything.

There is also a Pass Labs Int60 on fb marketplace which looks like a scam.
