Posting (no pun intended) for traffic…

Real quickie please- it’s me being rubbish but can anyone please clarify (I’ve tried Google to no avail)

Someone contacted me about an item I put on Gumtree this eve- she asked if I can post with Royal Mail, I said sure as long as she’s happy to pay postage (around £4)

She was happy with that so said she’d place the order & make payment straight away.

I received a link via WhatsApp from her for the payment- it’s a Royal Mail thing (I’ll try to attach).

Im sure it’s all above board but I don’t want to put my bank details in (to receive payment) as I don’t quite understand and I’ve never had this before? Think she’s getting impatient with me for checking it out…

Any help welcome. Thanks

So I replied saying I’ve never had to input my bank details for a payment before so it seems like a scam. Their reply was

‘Ahahahah understandable, I already reported you to the police, my money was taken and you start to ignore me’.

Classic

Ignore them they are just pissed off you clocked the scam

I'd reply with a thumbs up and then block them.

Yep absolutely, I’ve blocked them now 😁

Dammit I missed the thumbs up!

"Oh snap, I reported it too! Guess we'll let the police sort it "
