Trying to sell a laptop for $350.
Couple of genuine inquiries on Facebook marketplace but none of them got finalised.
First one on Gumtree, buyer is using an email address for their iMessage, and has agreed to pay via Auspost Money Order. But they also requested shipping to a property in NSW that's in the process of being sold, and a $300 Apple Gift card, plus $15 imbursement for petrol "and stress" lol. Sounds suss?
tell them you want a picture of them with today's newspaper while wearing a mackerel on their head first
Would love it if they actually follow through with this request. ๐
Scam. Anything with gift cards is a scam
Definitely a scam
100%
Thought so .. thanks Aradina
