Payment practices

[tkozo89]

Hello,

I have quit using “friends and family “ I have had 3 different accounts ask me to pay there girlfriends account, not use friends and family and the profile name doesn’t match Venmo or Cash App. I allow buyer to use the protection with me to pay now… I am told that’s not fair people get the items and pull back the funds..
love the opportunity just not liking the risk anymore lots of scammers..

I am so confused so do you like goods and services? I figure over 50 I better know the seller. F&f is sage for folks you know… watch for red flags and phone numbers

Any buyer that is considering F&F tx w an FNG needs their head checked. As an FNG I don't consider asking a buyer to use a non protected sale medium.

Most of the following is in the classifieds guide, but here's what I've found:

Even with G&S payments, facetime or have a phone call prior to paying a dime. Use a credit card so you can charge back if a scammer manipulates PayPal into winning a dispute.

Look into the phone number, name of seller etc. Use a reverse image search to see if the photos were pulled from ebay, here, SH, whatever. Between AI tools, VOIP and VPNs anything can be faked besides a real time video or phone call. For now at least.
