Yes I know Im about to sound like a right fool please no rude comments as I’m already beating myself up massively about this…I saw a lady on Facebook selling a ps5 for free yes I know red flags straight away right but on her post she said her son recently died from cancer and he never got the chance to use the ps5 she bought for him so she’s giving it away for free as seeing it just sitting there hurts her etc I know it’s easy for scammers to make up a sob story but I believed her she seemed genuine she’s married, has kids and a lot of posts on her page are about charity things anyway I contacted her and we had a brief conversation where I explained how I’m a single mum and can’t afford much so would really appreciate this she then agreed to give it to me as long as I don’t resell it and try and make a profit I agreed. She insisted posting via fed ex as she lives about 4 hours from me…I have no idea how much fed ex prices are but I know it’s expensive and as I’m far away and the parcel will be kinda heavy she said it’ll cost £50 I did think it’s quite a lot but I believed her as she seemed so genuine…I paid the money and she said she’d post it tomorrow (today) most scammers block you straight after they get the money as they have no need to contact you again but she didn’t so seemed genuine and also she kept getting me to promise I didn’t just want it to sell it again seemed genuine as most scammers wouldn’t question stuff like this…she messaged me this morning saying she’s posting the item now but that she’d got the price wrong it’s actually £100 to post via fed ex not £50 she asked if I could send the extra £50 and then she’d send me tracking but as soon as she said £100 I knew something wasn’t right I couldn’t believe a boxed ps5 would cost £100 to post even if i live far and fed ex is expensive that’s a ridiculous amount so I figured the lady must be a scammer and tryna see how much she can get out of me I’ve now messaged saying to leave it and I just want my £50 back she said she’ll send it when she gets home I’m now waiting to see if she does or not and feeling very anxious. She seemed so genuine as said her son died from cancer, kept making sure I was genuine and didn’t just want it to sell, has charity stuff on her page, kept in contact with me so I’m a bit torn to weather she’s a scammer or not as most scammers would block you straight away but at this point just want my money back I paid via bank transfer so doubt I’ll get it back I know I’m daft and couldn’t be more angry at myself right now.
