Scam alert

[BubMullen]

I believe I have been scammed on a part from Facebook

Ron Jeffery supposedly selling EB parts. Yet his Zelle account, email and facebook all use different names

The shipping company cargomailing.com tried to get me to send them $90 for insurance after they had my package. Yet their website that is only a few months old clearly says the FedEx has my package

With all these red flags I just feel something is wrong

Anyone else know about any of these things?

Yeah, can't buy anything off Facebook anymore. 99% are scams.

If it looks like it and smells like it....

You take a gamble using Zelle with a stranger, as there is no safety margin for you.

 

[BubMullen]

Yes sir. Glad I only lost a few bucks. But don’t want anyone else to get burned

 

[SLOWnEASY]

That sucks. Does the website give you the FedEx tracking number?

 

[BubMullen]

Not the FedEx number but their own number. I asked them for a physical address so I could send them money via certified mail (not that I was actually going to do that) and they went dark on me

And it’s probably not even the guy that scammed you. Just his account was hacked

I am begining to think that I hope that for everyone else it got corrected
