I scrolled down and found the exact post but with a different seller and then found four more at totally unbelievable prices. It would be great to get a $3,000 camera and lens for $175

Maybe it’s not a scam. Remember the story from years ago about the guy who ran away with his girlfriend and then called his wife and told her to sell his new jag and send him the money. She sold it for $500……. Or so the legend goes😂😂

I was in a cigar shop years ago...I'd stop if I was passing close by.
Beautiful woman walks in...dressed to the nines. she wants to sell her husbands humidor...had it in the trunk.
I give the shop owner (a friend) the lead...but he says he doesn't want to start that kind of thing in his shop...understandable.
So I walk out with her to her nice Mercedes...she pops the trunk...golf clubs and a humidor...beautiful woodwork.
Filled with 120 cuban cigars.
I asked how much...and she just said...how about 200 dollars.
I balked a bit at her response...just did not expect that.
Then she said...I'll throw in the gold clubs too.
What??!!
Then she said...he's been cheating on me...we have kids...I want to do this for myself.
I gave her 200 on the spot and told her to keep the clubs...sell them for much more money.
Sell them and spend it on the kids...
She thanked me...which was awkward...such pain for her.
You never know about a sale...but it's best to be in person.

You see these all the time on Facebook, for various products. I always take the time to click on the menu (3 dots in upper-right corner) and report the ad as a scam. Every little bit helps.

Marketplace is thick with scammers. A few days ago I posted my old working photo printer for $40. I quickly got an offer. The guy said his son would pick it up but didn't have the cash so he would send the $40 via Zelle. I received an email (seemingly from Zelle) $40 had been deposited but was on hold because it exceeded my limit? The buyer needed to deposit an additional $200 which I could refund to the buyer to make the transaction go thru. I got another email that $200 additional had been deposited. Then I started getting messages from the buyer advising me to refund his $200 ("send me back my money"). I politely declined at first but and then ignored his following demands. I searched his name and found the nearest person with that name is 300 miles from me.

Found a 2004 Tacoma for $1,000. Never heard back when inquiring about it.

Look closer. it’s a decorative pet bed with a cat or small dog in it.
