Rename Facebook MarketPlace to....
Scammer Heaven. Cause it's unbelievable the number of scams and crooks are on it.
I've been looking for new sails and thought I found a decent price. I spoke to the guy on the phone and
even got an address where I could go look at them. So I drove to the marina, looked at the sails and
the guy phones me to tell me that he can't be there because of traffic. But if I like the sails I can just
transfer him the money and take the sails.
Only one thing happened while I was on the phone.
The real owner showed up and asked me what I was doing. The criminal that I had on the phone wasn't
even in the country and might not have even visited here. I found out that it's a common scam that's
being pulled. They do it with houses for sale, cars for rent, etc.
Are there any decent places left to buy and sell on the Internet?
