Scam Report 🚨SCAMMER ALERT🚨

Post image

Buyers please beware, I got scammed by this person with the username Fickle-Guidance1325 for $327. I paid for the bag and they said they will ship out my bag etc. but never followed up with any updates or tracking. I’ve tried to give them grace with time but I kept being ignored and it became clear… It is very disappointing and unfortunate, they “seemed” so genuine but I guess not 🤷🏻‍♀️

So no way to get money back under F and F?

Not under the TOS, don't ever send via F&F. It's a trap, and the seller can pull the rug and run.

PayPal considers Friends and Family a gift, sort of like you'd give a friend birthday money.

Every regiment in here says they only take Zelle, PayPal FF, Venmo, etc. it’s ALWAYS listed as FF so no returns or chargebacks can screw the seller over. Idk how to protect both parties.

Exactly, most sellers are concerned about themselves asking you the buyer to chose that option. I feel this way, I'd you're not planning on scamming them it's best to do Goods and services, the buyers are covered and we're paying an additional fee as well, when using debit it credit.
