Description
There was a Facebook Marketplace post for a free saxophone. After responding, they told me to email the owner of the saxophone because they were just posting it online for them. The email was [email protected]. This person said the saxophone was free since her husband passed away and to contact her cousin in Nevada who could get it out of a storage facility to ship it. This phone number 425-616-9824 poses as the cousin and asks for shipping costs to be sent to them through Chime or Apple gift cards. The gift cards as payment was a dead giveaway.
