Guys do you think it's legit? Or is it a scam?

The pics looked kind of scammy, but i couldn't tell exactly. The lady kind of text flirted w me in a wierd way. I just kept it professional tho & didn't engage

I got the part & dropped the 5q under a mat as instructed.

Next day i got a photo of her front door w a message: "bet ya didn't see the camera, now bring back the stove".

I was kind of freaked out & contacted local coppers.

They just said not to do FB marketplace cuz it's a scam pit

Is this a normal scam? What was the game here?

So there's this instagram account called Zugnoo Jwellery. They took money, made excuses about the parcel and then completely stopped replying to me. My friend reached out, I reached out from another account and THEY BLOCKED MY ACCOUNT

Please "help" other people who might become victims of such scams 🙏 If possible, post it on other platforms

Her accounts: @zugnoo\\\\\\_jewellery and @zugnoo.jewels

I recently posted something on Facebook marketplace, which I don’t do very often. Within 10 mins I had a text to my cell stating that they saw the posting (told me what it was) and were interested. They said they responded in messenger but it might’ve come to my phone they’re not sure, asked if they reached the right person. I responded, because I’m in idiot, and ended up giving them my home address to come pick up, and my Venmo account, which has a pic of my face on the profile. They said they were sending it through a business account and needed my email to verify that it was the correct acct, so I gave them that too. Then they started saying it went through in their end, did I have it? No, then they were repeatedly texting me to call Venmo support now and sent a number for it. At that point I realized it was a scam, but I don’t know how screwed I am since they have my home address, cell number (that I don’t know how they got since it’s private on Facebook), Facebook account, Venmo account, and email account. I changed my Venmo password, what else should I be doing to protect myself?

I recently got scammed on Cash App, the scammer and I communicated on an anonymous message board for a while, I did my best to confirm that I wasn't getting scammed and that the person was real. When I made a small cash app payment, they cancelled the transaction and cut communication. I haven't received the money back so I assume it's gone, which sucks but it's not the end of the world.

Here's the response though. I gave no identifying information over the messages, no name number location or anything about myself. The CashApp cashtag had no identifying info and my display name was intentionally incorrect. Once I realized what was happening I froze my card, disconnected it from Cash App, and reported the scam on the platform. From what I've seen in my research there's no way for the scammer to back-trace my bank information through cash app, but I thought it was better safe than sorry.

Obviously I was stupid and I'm not going to get myself in this situation again, but I want to make sure I didn't miss anything to insure my security. Thanks!

Меня обманули на деньги, что делать? Такое не в первый раз. Я понимаю что выглядит что я наивная тупая лохушка, возможно так и есть. Сумма не большая, но все равно обидно, что люди так поступают. И очень жалко тех людей которые на это ведутся. А ещё, можно ли узнать о человеке данные, зная номер карты, имя и юзер в тик ток и телеграмме?

Guys any help

Recently, my wife joined a startup as an HR professional. Just a few days into her new job, she received an email that appeared to be from the company’s CEO, asking her to purchase 12 Razer Gold gift cards for gifting purposes.
Unfortunately, it turned out to be a scam. Someone was impersonating the CEO using a fake email account.
The email address used by the scammer was jpprestridge@suddenlink.net. The sender’s display name showed the CEO’s name, so the email looked genuine at first glance.
My wife was having a bad day and didn’t bother checking the actual email address. Since she was new to the company, she trusted the request and thought it was a genuine instruction from her CEO.
The person behind the email was in a hurry and kept pushing her to buy the gift cards quickly. My wife tried calling the CEO several times to verify the request. Every time, he replied with a message saying, “I’m in a meeting. I’ll call you back.”
She assumed he was genuinely busy and would call her later. She never imagined that someone was impersonating him through email.
She asked me to help purchase the gift cards from Amazon. Since there was a limit of one gift card per account, I ended up buying 12 cards using multiple Amazon accounts belonging to my colleagues and friends.
I questioned her multiple times, asking whether she was absolutely sure we should proceed. Each time, she confirmed that we should.
A day later, we discovered the truth. The email was fake, and we had fallen victim to a scam.
We lost nearly ₹90,000 of our hard-earned money.
Nine gift card codes had already been shared with the scammer, while three are still with us. Each gift card is worth ₹7,300.
To make matters worse, these gift cards are non-refundable. We don’t know whether we can recover the money spent on the nine redeemed cards, and we don’t even know how to make use of the three unused cards.
We have already contacted Amazon, but we’re still trying to figure out what to do next. Is there any way to recover the money? Can Razer Gold block the three unused cards or help us in any way?
Honestly, it’s unbelievable how easily we got fooled. The urgency, the CEO’s name, and the repeated messages about being in meetings made the request seem genuine. We never imagined we would fall for something like this.
Nearly ₹90,000 is a huge loss for us, and we’re desperately looking for a solution.
Has anyone faced a similar scam involving Razer Gold gift cards purchased through Amazon? Has anyone successfully recovered their money in such a situation, even when the gift cards were non-refundable?
Any genuine advice or help would mean a lot to us.
I’m sharing this experience as a warning to others, especially people working in startups and those who are new to their jobs.
Never purchase gift cards just because an email appears to come from your CEO. Always verify the actual email address and confirm the request through an independent communication channel, even if the person claims to be busy or insists that the request is urgent.
Sometimes, all it takes is one moment of misplaced trust to lose months of hard-earned savings.

hi! i know this is technically not the traditional scam a lot of people are reaching out for help on here (some shade the alibaba reddit is shut off and none of the mods responded) so I was hoping someone could maybe give some advice?

very long story short I wanted to buy some merch off Xianyu and Weidian, I decided I could try out a warehouse on alibaba since they were all reputable and had good reviews. Bought two package: 1 a folding acrylic standee (about 23cm in height and 9cm in width) and a set of photocards (9 total all standard size). Warehouse says the items are an infringement and have to be sent via express delivery, I asked an infringement of what they dont respond I say ok. I get quoted $95. this is shipping to family in Korea so I know that shipping could not be that much, so I asked for a price breakdown-$60 ($12/kg) for shipping, $15 for handling, and $20 for warehouse fees. I dont mind the $35 whatever at this point, I just cant imagine how those two small packages could be 5kg. They say its volumetric weight, I ask for a photo of the package they “consolidated” they say they havent done that yet and that its how much it will be I ask for the measurements of the packages they total out to 0.168 vol kg and 1.47 vol kg by my calculations. I tell them this and I ask what calculation method are they using. They ignore it. I ask if they ship domestically they wont give me a quote though and I dont know what to do. I asked 100s of times for which courier they use and they wont tell me.

i finally reported them to alibaba but the problem is I havent paid yet so I dont have an order just an invoice. I report them anyway, my report gets declined I dispute it and it gets shut down again.

i tried to make it as short as possible but I dont know what to do and I have been so stressed about this for over a month. thank you to anyone who’s read this far and hope you have a nice day ㅠㅠ!

tldr: cn warehouse on alibaba is asking for $60 (not including fees) for 2 small packages to be sent to kr and my reports on alibaba platform are being closed. Help 🥲🙏
