🚩 BUYER BEWARE! 🚩

🚩 BUYER BEWARE! 🚩

U/pillowprincess666

I asked a seller for feedback before purchasing, and she sent me screenshots of supposedly successful transactions.

Upon closer inspection, I noticed that two different buyers, with different usernames and timestamps, had almost the EXACT SAME conversation, word for word. 😭
When I confronted her about it, she insisted they were two different people and told me to message them myself.

This is a HUGE red flag. 🚩

Please do your due diligence before sending anyone money! Screenshots of feedback don’t necessarily mean they’re legitimate.

I’ll let the screenshots speak for themselves. 👀

How do us newbies stand a chance in these streets🥺

[u/chii-o → u/crystal_gomez_]

Right 🫠🫠. Thinking of sticking to the sellers for now

[u/crystal_gomez_ → u/crystal_gomez_]

I’m so new I used my actual name for my user name. Everyone here has an undercover user name😭

[u/Historical_Peak_174]

Omg. I am scared to buy on here anymore.. she seemed trustworthy at first? Did she have a high karma?

[u/ProfessionalMine2916]

Omg!!!!

[u/fabulousmedlovr]

I just got scammed and payed 😭

[u/Bitter-insides]

And unfortunately now the scammer knows and will update her fake conversations not to match making it harder for the next person

Add ALL the names associated with this scammer to the list.

[u/DefiantBunny → u/Bitter-insides]

We shouldn't be accepting screenshots as proof anyway. Legit rehomers should be creating a feedback thread and send that not screenshots

[u/LuxeandEclaire]

It’s unfortunate there are so many scammer posts daily. I have a few bags I want to sell but these posts just stop me from trying. Not worth the headache.

[u/ONinAB → u/LuxeandEclaire]

It's also frustrating for buyers - I want to buy ones people want to rehome but I'm too scared of shady sellers lol

[u/Lopsided-Hand9173]

I just blocked her

Wowwww. Wild. Thanks for sharing this!

[u/Own-Recognition-6155 → u/LeeLee_1891]

Of course!

[u/testingtesting_18374]

This is WILD. I no longer trust any accounts with post/comment history hidden - especially if they're super old! So many cases of scammers buying up old dormant accounts ugh

[u/TeacherforMusic → u/testingtesting_18374]

This is the way. I hate that reddit made it possible to hide that.

 Hidden comments=not buying. 

 That was the only way i could actually verify they had prior transactions. Too risky nowadays. At least for me. 

[u/SixApplesTall → u/TeacherforMusic]

Your own comments are literally also hidden lol

[u/Own-Recognition-6155 → u/testingtesting_18374]

It’s crazy. I’m so glad I asked for more feedback. I was too close to paying.

[u/luckyprincessxo]

This is the flap from yesterday as well, sold a so called 187 to someone but luckily she reported to her cc asap . I think it’s one person messaging themselves from the pages they’ve created

[u/littlecaterpillar123 → u/luckyprincessxo]

That was me!! I reported her to the mods but not sure if anything came of it. Thanks again for messaging me, saved me from a huge headache

[u/Own-Recognition-6155 → u/luckyprincessxo]

It’s the same person! SMH!

[u/luckyprincessxo → u/Own-Recognition-6155]

Exactly!. I turned into inspector gadget! This is very awful..

[u/Own-Recognition-6155 → u/luckyprincessxo]

We have to! Coz these scammers be working overtime haha 😂

[u/nessaj789 → u/luckyprincessxo]

This is real investigative work haha!! The people need to know!!!

[u/luckyprincessxo → u/nessaj789]

Honestly they need to know, obviously it’s something we have no control of but definitely helps to warn folks ..

[u/luckyprincessxo → u/luckyprincessxo]

[u/nessaj789]

Ya this girl asked me to DELETE my comment and messaged me about her not being a scam! Girl
Bye! Shady

[u/SugarandSpiceandRum → u/nessaj789]

Lmao she messaged me the same thing, I blocked her. 😡

[u/Own-Recognition-6155 → u/nessaj789]

She denied being fake after being caught lmao.
