Description

I was selling an item on facebook marketplace and a potential buyer contacted me and attempted to send a payment via Zelle which didn’t go through but texted me from this number saying to call them. I did and they said that the buyer needed to send another $500 and then I’d have to send it back. He never sent any money. Then they tried to get me to use cash app to send the $500. I sent no money and told them I was contacting my bank and the police. Didn’t hear from them after that.
