OfferUp - Scammers using site for Prey
Be very careful- scammers troll this site for unsuspecting prey. My college aged daughter (with an .EDU account) received a "bank check" for nearly $2,000 for a piece of *** table she was selling for $20.
They wanted her to de-list the item, deposit the check, and then make arrangements with the mover to "move the table", by using cash or a check from her account. The whole process was convoluted and highly suspect. Thank goodness she reached out to us, her parents.
Even though this was suspect to her, I believe she was impressed by the amount of this check and wanted to believe it was real.
Reason of review: Problems with payment.
