Ski Diva Extraordinaire
So I'm in the process of selling my Sheeva 10s, and posted a listing on Facebook Marketplace. I was contacted by a Lucas shaw. He wanted to pay through Zelle instead of Facebook. I got a very official looking email from "zelleinfo service" saying payment pending, funds to be released once I shipped the item and updated tracking information. Shipping address was to 1878 NW 20th St, Miami, FL 33142. RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET FROM A BARGAIN SPORTS STORE. Maybe related?? I was literally on the verge of shipping the item, but then the USPS shipping charge was a lot higher than the facebook estimate so I didn't. I went home to look up other shipping options, and that's when I checked my actual Zelle account and there were no payments pending. I contacted the guy and asked him to cancel his Zelle payment and pay through facebook. He blocked me.
In retrospect, I was very dumb and should've checked Zelle a lot sooner. But I really wasn't expecting someone to scam for skis, and it was a very official looking email. So yea, BE CAREFUL OUT THERE, YALL. It's a mean mean world...
