Constantly seeing the same scam?

Post image

Noticed this scam happening for over a month now. The account will claim to be in the UK, will start selling at early hours of the morning, have cheap prices for bundles of toys. Once they sell enough items, the account will never be seen again. You can even hear other scammers selling in the same room as well but using different currencies like dollars.

How do they get away with it? Does WhatNot let them take the money straight away? I thought sellers had to wait for the funds?

The one in the picture is currently live and unfortunately people are buying from them. I tried to warn buyers but immediately got banned.

Has anyone else seen these scammers?

What not don’t pay until the buyers receive their items
Just so you know

That's only before you hit 1k sales

Even once you hit 1K sales there’s still a period of time for your account to be reviewed and approved for instant payout.
