Description

A woman named Margie Stoddard posted a harp for free on Marketplace. I messaged her, and she said that it is her sister’s harp and has sentimental value because it was her husband’s. She gave the following message: Hello! My sister is the one Free Lyon & Healy Pedal Harp looking to give it away as it holds sentimental value from her late husband. To show your interest in receiving the harp, kindly send an email to her at [email protected] for further details. Her name is Joyce. Upon doing some research, it was obvious that the picture was not the type of harp she claimed. The Facebook profile for Margie had just been set up. I blocked her and am confident this is a scam.
