It was on Facebook marketplace. I have contacted them through email, there is no phone number. They said they would send tracking number was told On Sep 18, 2023, at 4:22 AM, [email protected] wrote:

?Hi,Sorry for keeping you waiting for so long.your order has been packed and shipped and is being delivered to its destination.

your order has been shipped, your tracking number is XXWUS0000759602YQ. It says it was delivered to Bedford MA. I believe this was a scam. They already got my money. I know it’s not a lot but it’s the principal of it all. No such tracking number. I have a few emails from them but nothing

Please check through the website: https://t.17track.net/en.

Have a good week.

Kind Regards

This scammer pretending to be a buyer, who said that her name was Clorinda Hardy, sent me a message on Facebook marketplace saying that she wished to buy a TV stand that I had for sale for $20.00. She stated further that she wasn't on Facebook and sent me a phone number, 779-234-2838, so that I could text her about the item. I did naively text this person my address and said that she could come over to buy the article. She replied that she wanted to come over in about an hour. She stated further that she heard about fake posts on marketplace and wanted to send me a code to verify "the legit of" my post, and then she would call me. I replied that I don't do links and would bring the item out to her car. She said that I did not have to click on a link, but just "show [her] the code." By this time, I knew that she was a scammer, and so I told that I was calling the police. She then stopped communicating with me.

I ordered on FB. A link/Ad that looked legit. I ordered a purple pair and a blue pair for a “deal on 2” price. Also ordered the insoles. Was to get 2 pair of socks free. Took money right away. Got the shoes 2-3 months later. Kids size-cheaply made..and not even the colors I ordered. Beyond frustrated!

I was given tracking information. LV839807832CN

I followed the package for months. I finally received this: 2023-09-15 07:41

JUNCOS, PR 00777, Delivered, PO Box -> Your item has been delivered and is available at a PO Box at 7:41 am on September 15, 2023 in JUNCOS, PR 00777.

The only problem with that is I'm not in that country. I'm in the US in IL, appx 2050 miles away. I've made several contacts with meiwang and he/she promised redelivery. This package has not been moved from its location and I've asked for a refund x4 and have been told to "be patient".

A Facebook marketplace buyer asked for my phone number and asked if they could send me a verification code for Google voice to ensure I was a real person. They then said the code didn’t work and started to ask for other family members phone numbers.

On FB they posted women's sandals with cushioned insoles, and used QVC logo to fraudulently misrepresent where they were actually from. They advertised as "designer comfort sandals. They also had photos of the shoes (the actual shoe is nothing like the photos. Obviously these are cheap "replicas" of a popular sandal sold in legitimate stores. Materials such as the shoe straps and even the foot bed are substandard. They glued a cheap piece of material on the foot bed, covering the manufacturer name and the shoe size. Making it Clear, that they are cheap knock offs!

I tried to contact at the above email with no success. Based on the pathetic "quality" of these sandals they're clearly from China, or somewhere overseas. This is a very unfortunate "lesson" to clearly check where these offers originate from.

I'm attaching all the chats we had from the beginning, which started at 9:06 am on Thursday, September 7. I found the ad on FB Marketplace and asked if the refrigerator was still available? She said yes. We scheduled a time for them to deliver, with a $30 unload fee for a total of $630. On their way to my house, she said that I shouldn't plug it in for at least 30 minutes to allow and also they would give me 3 days for a refund if it didn't work. To allow the freon or anything else to settle from being moved. So, they unloaded the refrigerator in my garage and I opened it up and looked through it. Seemed to be fine. I paid them $630 cash. The man, left me his phone number, which of course is not in service.

The number was 517-503-0066. While I was messaging back and forth with the lady I had been talking with, her name appeared as Kat Morgan. As soon as they left, she left the chat. I plugged the refrigerator in at 8:00 pm last night, placed a water bottle in the refrig part and one in the freezer. Checked it this morning and nothing had changed. it was not getting cold. So, I tried calling the number he left and a recording came on to say that the number you are calling cannot be located, please try your call again. So, now I'm stuck with a refrigerator that doesn't work and out $630. How can people go through life doing things like this to people.

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.
