I got scammed on marketplace this weekend and am feeling really stupid and shameful about it. It was $450. I'm watching stories like this to make me feel less alone ❤ so thanks for sharing

[BackcountryExposure]

Hell yeah $300 is a lot of money. That’s a car payment, groceries, gas, a tent to go adventure with that you now can’t. People who scam hard working people are pond scum!

[remyllebeau]

Ouch man. Sorry to hear. I wish there was some sort of avenger going after these scams, especially the ones targeting the elderly in the USA. They deserve far worse than getting some parts cut off and sent to other scam centers as a warning.

[denniskuenze]

Sorry you got scammed. It happens to the best of us. I hope you can get this resolved.

[wesleyolsen]

Just lost 720 dollars to this I’m extremely stressed out and feel so lost

That sucks...sorry to hear this. I got scammed in February and I felt like an idiot as it was something that was ridiculously low priced. That should have been enough to send me looking elsewhere, but nope! Rule #1: If it looks too good to be true, it probably is.
The good news is the transaction was through PayPal. I tried contacting the seller a few times and got no reply. Contacted PayPal and filed a claim. For whatever reason, I was expecting it was going to go nowhere and figured it was a $79 lesson. To my pleasant surprise, PayPal looked into it, notified the seller they have "x" amount of time to respond (I think it was two weeks), they didn't, and PayPal credited my account.I don't know why people hate on PayPal, they did me right!

Fellow New Jersey-an here! Headed to Worthington this weekend. Glad the campgrounds are open once again (injury limits my backpacking right now), Stokes is great, but why not keep all the other campgrounds open year-round? Have you hiked the BATONA? Is it hammock friendly?

This girl kept asking if I had cash app I said no! Kept saying to get one blah blah blah. I told her I knew what she was up to. I said I’d you had all this money, yet no car, no house nothing. I cussed her out and told her to get a life

[EddieBittner]

That sucks. This is why I don't pay for anything until I see the product in person, unless it's a business.

[rojasan]

I'm watching this because I just got scam in the same way. 600 lost. But a least I learned to never send money through cashapp.

[chuckwolf]

People are going away from PayPal because of scammers on both sides. John sells to Marty. Marty pays through PP G&S. John ships to Marty and Marty receives it then files claim and John for not receiving product. Marty now has his money and the product and John is screwed. That's the reverse scam.

[AnHonestDoubter]

A valuable story to share, especially with older folks. Appreciate your willingness to do so! 👍

[diamond]

I don't ship, sell local for pickup and do busy in person with cash only.

[adventureswithfrodo]

Cashapp doesnt care they got their percentage. Sorry to hear this.

PEOPLE STOP SAYING THIS IS GEARED TO THE ELDERLY.

[CC-klnh]

One of the biggest scams are real estate classes and stock trading classes! Those are the BIGGEST scams!

[kennethiman]

I Always file a police report. Won't change anything but I try to make scammers feel the heat.

[paulblackburn]

I got scammed by a YouTuber. I’m waiting on PayPal resolution to complete.

[danielgolite]

Even on eBay you need to be careful. Saw a good deal but had to pass because the seller had multiple negative feedback. Even with protection from ebay, not worth the stress of dealing with what could go wrong. Hope you will be able to be refunded. If not, hope you can move on as best as you can. Hope you can get a good deal on the tent you want.

[GDoggProductions]

just lost $1, 200 to a fake iPhone

thought it was real and everything

turns out to be fake

sad sad day

[warrenstanford]

Sorry you had an expensive lesson, as the old Roman saying goes “buyer beware!” 😞

[Dmitrythailan]

Hey 𝐕𝐚𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐠𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐭. I am just a simple dude from Australia, but I want you to know how awesome it is what you did, and what you do. Love your work mate and God bless you for everything you do for people in the future. I was truly touched by this vid.
