Hello all!
just wanted to bring some attention to a new scam on poshmark. I was looking to buy a purse, and the seller had exactly what I was looking for, all the pictures, receipts and all. It was a Chanel bag, so for purchases over 500$, the item automatically gets sent to poshmark And they authenticate for free.
I figured that it was safe. So I bought the item, and the total amount was automatically debited from my account. A couple of hours later, I get a message saying that the order was cancelled. I get another message from the seller saying that she saw that my order was cancelled and hoped I didn’t change my mind. I told them I wasn’t the one who cancelled the order and the seller said the same. So I ordered the item again... and again cancelled. I messaged the seller again, and seller said she was not cancelling the order. I messaged Poshmark about the cancellation, and they were no helsent me a generic email.
The seller sends me a message to ask for my # so we can get to the bottom of the issue, so I send her my number.
I get a text from an iCloud account (red flag) some back and forth between me and the person, and finally the seller says; “do you have Apple Pay, I can send the item out tomorrow and save you 20% because that’s what poshmark charges” I obviously said no, and that I rather do this via poshmark...
so my order gets cancelled again, I repurchase again... and then cancelled again, only to see that all the sellers items were removed from poshmark.
So obviously a scam, Bait and hook, trying to get me to pay for something off poshmark and send me (or not send me ) the item on their own...
beware!
