Description

I attempted to purchase a vehicle from someone from Facebook Market Place for the sum of $800. They used Ebay and Greendot as a means of payment. After a series of barcodes sent to me via email, the payment was made. Now, the delivery of the vehicle was told to me as being free by way of a delivery voucher. I received confirmation that the payment was received and was put in a trust. Now I was waiting for the inspection part of the deal to go through, and the car would be delivered. The next day, I was informed that I would have to pay an additional $300 for the delivery insurance after being told it was free. After a few minutes of going back and forth, I was hung up on and my number was blocked. I continued to contact the person(s) responsible for this, but to no avail.
