FB marketplace - sending a courier

Another marketplace question... I've got a message from someone saying they want the item but can't collect as working, but could send a carrier with cash. Is this for real? Sounds dodge, anyone else had this and followed through with it??

Yeah that's definitely a scam, sadly - block them!

Scam! Had loads of these.

Definitely a scam. I had that when I was selling something you wouldn't buy without looking at and trying it was so obviously a scam

Sounds dodgy, ask them to forward the cash by bank transfer. The chances are you won't hear back from them

Thought so, thanks

Yeah huge scam. Well done being suspicious!

No no no!

Also had "I really like this product, is it like this one ...insert random link, which I will not click... If it is I want to buy it" so annoying 🤦‍♀️

I have bought using a courier. As long as it's cash in your hand on exchange then it's fine

Had this several times - often if you check out who the buyer is they're in another country so likely had their account hacked/cloned. Report, block & delete.
