Scammers on Facebook Marketplace fake payments to steal money by demanding refunds of non-existent excess amounts.
A Facebook Marketplace scam involves fraudsters offering to pay more than the agreed price, using fake payment proofs or claims of suspended Zelle transfers.
They pressure victims to send back the excess amount, often via digital apps, under false pretenses.
The original payment never exists, leaving victims out money.
Similar tactics appear in job and social media scams.
Experts warn that legitimate buyers don’t rush transactions or demand refunds.
Authorities advise never sending money to receive money, keeping communication on the platform, meeting in public, and reporting scams to Facebook, the BBB, and the FTC.
