Scammers are everywhere. My nephew prevented his mother (my sister) from getting scammed. My sister found an outdoor patio dining table with chairs made by Polywood on Facebook in Palm Bay Florida.
We have some Polywood. Itās very expensive. Anyway, it was listed at $400.00. My sister got them to come down to $300.00. Extremely cheap price. The pictures looked like new.
She called my nephew who is vacationing at their home in Sebastian Fl. and asked if he could go and pick it up. Maybe 30 minutes away. Or for $70.00 they could deliver it.
He asked for the phone number. My sister never talked to anyone only through texts. The red flag was when my sister told him they wanted the money paid thru Venmo. My sister has no idea what Venmo is. My nephew called several times and got no answer.
Obviously a scam. The Polywood set never existed. Wonder how many get scammed like this? Not on Facebook, but it seems like itās ripe for scammers.
