Posted: 13:05 - 02 Jan 2022 Post subject: Been scammed on FB - what next? |
|
|
I found an item on FB Marketplace at a price that wasn’t especially cheap, contacted the seller via Messenger, paid by bank transfer and then they disappeared. Yes, I know, stupid me about the payment and I have reported the scam to my bank for investigation.
What else can I do? It looks like I have been blocked by the FB seller’s account, but someone else can still see the same item listed for sale in a different location, same pictures, description etc and they can see the seller’s FB profile. Is there anything of a more… ‘BCF’ nature that can be done, or just leave it to the bank? I consider the money to be gone - the price of a lesson learned, but if there’s anything else to be done, I’m open to options. I have the bank account details of the person I sent money too. ____________________

You deserve to be scammed for being such a dumb bastard
Daddy Zuckerberg doesn't care 'nor will the local constabulary.
Best thing you can do is spam all the buy/sell groups with screenshot of said transaction if you're feeling bitter. Personally I would kiss the monies goodbye and nail it down to experience.
You've been warned never use FB market place for anything other than entertainment. It stinks of council and Iceland moms. ____________________ Post nut clarity reveals everything. |

reminds me of... report them to the bank as they did scam you. some banks ask if you might think the transaction request is suspicious - that can easily make a fucking hell of their life.

I got scammed years ago by some eBay shitehawk.
I paid off eBay. Only 20 quid.
Never heard of the cnut again.
EBay notified.
They looked at it, told me I'd paid to his wives bank not scum guy (Could have been a scum vagina support system too.)
EBay agreed it was a scam.
But coz I paid off grid they told me to do one.
I'm still looking for the prick... That was 15 years ago. ____________________ Disclaimer: The comments above may be predicted text and not necessarily the opinion of MCN. |

It was a right PITA last time I needed to give my address to someone on eBay because as you say, they block addresses and phone numbers.
I had to describe my address to them rather than give it in the traditional format. |

Old Thread Alert!
The last post was made 2 years, 90 days ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful? |
