Description
I saw a for sale post on Facebook Marketplace where in the description it said that because life was good to him, he was selling at a low price a cell phone and the cell phone number was in the description with symbols so it wouldn't disappear. So I contacted him and he first asked me for 100 dollars which is half of the product sold and when according to him he went to Fedex, they asked him for 35 dollars, after a few minutes he asked me for another 35 dollars, and then he asked me for 50 dollars which I agreed to. Then he asked me for another 50 dollars which I did not give, because I realized I was being scammed.
