Description

I posted an item for sale on Facebook marketplace. Someone commented on one of my facebook photos saying their friend was interested in the item for sale, but they were not able to message me directly. So they gave me a phone number to contact. I texted the phone number and was chatting back and forth regarding the item. Was arranging for pick up and payment. I asked for cash, but they said they didn't have cash and wanted to pay via venmo or zelle. I sent them my venmo account. The person said they needed my email to complete payment (sending me screenshots of the payment decline). I gave them my email address. Then I got an email from "[email protected]" saying urgent and I needed to call them. I called, but thought it was very suspicious so I ended the call. I verified with Venmo that the email is NOT a Venmo email. I forwarded the scam email to Venmo.
