Is this a scam?

Selling a next to me crib on marketplace. Had a message asking where collection is from, then the lady said she was busy with work but could send a happy postman (??) to collect tomorrow and pay cash. It SOUNDS like a scam but I can’t figure out how if it’s cash? I’ve googled happy postmen and they seem to be a parcel company that collect parcels, which confuses me more. Has anyone any experience of this?

thank you!

You’re right @Miffee she never actually refers to the item as what it is, that’s so interesting! The other message I had for the item mentions specifics about it, whereas this is so vague. I would have never thought to look for that, so thank you

No worries, spreading scam knowledge is always a pleasure!
