I think I nearly got scammed on ebay. Bought some furniture but they had strange messaging, only very late at night
they did not give me the information I wanted to pick it up but demanded codes that would enable them to tell ebay the transaction was completed. I even asked 3 days. No information.
I cancelled and got my money back. Then they send me a message like 2 minutes later and they were very angry.
But they did not lose any money. They still have their items.
the fact they were very angry makes me think that yes, this was a scam. Plus they called me a spammer. yeah, as if spammers pay money.
It was 1,000,000% a scam.
my scamdar was working right then
but I did not expect that scam at all
Please, report them to ebay. My mum is gullible as fuck for this shit. She'll hand out verification Sms codes to bloody anyone.
I did report them
