Description

We posted about a table and chairs on face marketplace and someone messaged on a photo saying that they couldn't message through FB (turns out this was a lie) and to message their friend who wanted the table and chairs. After personal texts they said their son would pick it up tomorrow and they wanted to pay through Zelle or Venmo. I told to wait until tomorrow then "she" said no she'd be in a meeting so she got my email address because she said the number wasn't enough because it asked for the email even though it has it in the QR code I shared. Then "she" said oh she has a business account so it wouldn't go through check your email because there's probably a message from Zelle about it with a number to call. I did get one but it was a Gmail address. I did call a number in the email before I noticed it was a Gmail address but it said there was no voicemail set up. I knew it was a scam. She kept insisting that I should call then I said no it's Gmail then I stopped communicating with them. I got a call about an hour later from that number which I ignored.
