I saw this in the current newsletter but I first saw this on breaking tech news from Komando. I initially skipped it, but then I saw it again while looking at my email and decided to read it.
I’ve never personally used facebook marketplace, but it seems to be another place where you can selll and buy things.
According to the article, there are 4 signs to look for when dealing with people, especially through this platform.
A listener to the show decided to post something for sale, and someone said they wanted to buy it with no questions asked.
If the seller went through, the article indicates that tey would’ve been out $500 and the buyer asked for this money to make the Zell account valid.
I recent went through my bank and signed up for Zell. I’ve never used it, but i’d rather have it for people who want to pay that way.

I hope that this is of help to people who may be familiar with this platform. Stay safe!
