OMG!!!! If it is not one thing, it is another. I have sold 2 TVs identical to the one I am trying to sell now. I have also sold many other large items without any issues. But this TV, like, damn it... I have idiots or scam me all over. The good thing is I catch on before I go thru with anything fully, so there is no money out on my end. Lord knows I can't afford that. But First, I had someone try and scam me with Zelle... telling me they would Zelle me the payment. Now I don't know much about Zelle other than a friend Zelle'd my money, and 2 days later I had 5 fraud charges come out of my account -.-. I got them all covered and closed Zelle. i did give it another chance so they could pay me land fees and this time I had 0 issues. So I was glad about that, but once they stopped, I shut Zelle down as I did not trust it.
But fast forward to this TV. I was unaware till talking to others, that it is only for friends and family (not like Paypal) So I had agreed to allow payment through it ... BUT I did not find the payment. They told me to check my email ... I did, and boom tells me they had to send more... Yes, I mentioned this all on Feb 11th; just bear with me. This whole thing is outrageous. I was like nope buy BCS they "sent more," and again, nothing but email tells me to refund them, like whatever happens. over the next few days, I get the "If you're a serious seller you will give me the G-Voice (google voice) Code". I'm like if you're a serious buyer, you will call me directly and know I am real.
It has been unreal!!! Well, the last one has been a doozy. And I happened to get sick at the same time so that was bad. But the person says "I can send you a check with an extra 50 for holding it and then some movers will come to get it. they asked what kind of check I was clear when I said CASHIERS check. Not a business check. that was on Wends. Friday morning, I am ill in bed and the old man answers the door and signs the certified mail ... In it is just a check, not looking closely enough I signed it and deposited it but was like, "why is this so fing high". There is no paperwork in this envelope nothing.
Well, he ask me how much cleared and tells me I need to send that to the movers NOW in a good faith. First off why didn't they pay for the movers if this was legit? Why are you sending me the money? And I agreed bcs I thought I was paying the movers in CASH .... but then came the kicker HE WANTS ME TO ZELLE 300 to the "mover" for good faith" LIKE LEGIT WHAT THE FUCK! He thinks BCS some might be available I should just "send" it... no dude the check has to be FULLY CLEAR to make sure there are no issues with this check. If it clears then we can talk.
Well as security measures, the bank as it where that check is untouchable until it is fully cleared and Zelle is permentally off my account since this is the possible but third (definite twice scammed times) with Zelle. So future items will say "Call for info, CASH ONLY," I swear -,- I just wanted to sell a damn TV
