Just bumping this topic to make sellers aware that this scam is still active - received similar email to one at head of topic in the early hours of this morning re my highest priced item. Reported to admin.
There are no silly questions! It is a shame if you actually are an oceanographer, no one would believe you!
Can’t believe the cheek of these people, hopefully one day there will be a way to filter the scams before they ever reach us xxx
MishmashKate Thank you for putting your warning about this scam. I’ve had the same type of message. I think it is the use of language that gives the game away.
Yes and she seemed to be messaging so many people she forgot what she’s said. She kept writing back but didn’t make sense as she thought she was talking to a difgerent seller. I sell birdhouses and she pretended it was for her sister.
The sister thing came up in my message too. I am fairly new to this selling thing but you learn as you go!
