@nygalflheart333 thank you. I'll report that things are stable, but I'm still leery and worried about what info they may have stolen. I've definitely learned a lesson, and hope sharing this helps others not male the same mistake. Thanks for watching and stay safe.
I used to sell Plants starts locally, but had a bad feeling on the last ones I sold to a gentleman, ...decided not to do it anymore...Its hard to sell anything online anymore thru marketplace or any local online yard sales...its scary...Have a Blessed day
It happens to the best of us. Glad you are sharing. The other thing is that our police department has a place you can sell/trade items. You give the person the address and they meet at a specific location. The police department has cameras too. But that’s an issue only if you’re selling locally.
Yes. Meeting at the police/sheriff dept. is a safe place to exchange goods. I usually set up exchanges at such locations, but with larger items, we meet at the farm; not anymore
I never have anyone come to my house. I have them meet me at a major grocery store, inside the store, and do my sales transaction. Most these grocery stores have cameras trained on their entry points. Doing things this way just makes me feel better and safer.
Oh, I agree whole-heartedly. However, as this was a large generator, I wouldn't have been able to do that this time. Sadly, the location wasn't the issue, it was the identity theft that hurt so badly. I'm still leery :(
People are trash. This is a reason i dont talk to anyone i don't personally know! Hope you are well aside from this nightmare!

Wow! That's crazy!!!! Thanks so much for sharing! I hope you don't mind but I'm going to share this out!
Not at all... I'm admitting my foolishness so others won't make the same mistake. It needs to be shared
Unbelievable--so frustrating that there are so many scammers
I honestly never knew it was so prevalent. To be hit twice in just a few mins was crazy. I'll never use marketplace again!

Best to go with that gut feeling! Stay safe.
Horrible. Very horrible. Happy you are safe. Happy you have a son to help you ❤
Indeed ... on all counts!
