WinnipegFur Posted Sunday at 06:58 PM Share Posted Sunday at 06:58 PM Totally taking a chance on this one... did my usual fur search on facebook, and this was literally just listed... Unfortunately, its in a city thats a 2.5 hour drive each way for me... She said she could courier it to me, so I agreed to it... I just hope its as amazing as the picture looks... An absolute steal for $170 Canadian couriered to me... $150 for the coat, $20 for the courier... Ive asked her to send me the track info as soon as its shipped so I can get the courier company to hold it at their depot... otherwise it will just get dropped off and left on the front step... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pnwhist Posted Sunday at 09:20 PM Share Posted Sunday at 09:20 PM Wait a minute @WinnipegFurBuyer Beware. This looks exactly like the one that @CoyoteFoxwas salivating over! Check his thread - I know that both of you live in Canada but Unless you both live relatively close, CoyoteFox said that his was a fake offering.

WinnipegFur Posted Monday at 02:58 AM Author Share Posted Monday at 02:58 AM I straight up messaged the seller and said this appears to be a scam, the exact coat is shown in multiple sites.. she insists she is sending me this coat... paypal says they cant do anything because it as a friends/family transfer... not holding my breath.. @Coyotefox where was the site in texas you saw it?

pnwhist Posted Monday at 11:59 AM Share Posted Monday at 11:59 AM Did she say she’s going to provide a tracking number right away when it’s shipped or when she’s sending it off? Also, I think you mentioned that you saw it on a FB type marketplace. There should be reviews of some type for this individual I’m sure (most people don’t just right up and sell a fur coat as their only listing, I’m assuming) Curious in what areas of the country they claim to be located. Lastly, if it IS a scam, would you be kind to expose the identity of this person so others in the forum don’t get impacted as well? For your sake - I really do hope it’s a legitimate offer and that they were just fibbing where they were located so they can have a higher chance to sell.

a_man_of_many_foxes Posted Monday at 05:22 PM Share Posted Monday at 05:22 PM I’ve seen the listing in the Chicago area for a similar price so I’d agree that it’s a scam. Also never send on PayPal via Friends and Family unless they’re actually someone you know and trust. Unfortunately, that money is gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep... do you happen to have the links for the coat in the Chicago area if its still active? Big mistake on my part.. at least it was only $150 and not $750.. still a good burn job...

WinnipegFur Posted Tuesday at 10:51 PM Author Share Posted Tuesday at 10:51 PM Well a small update... it seems when I learned that this was probably a scam, I immediately called my bank and alerted them of the paypal payment.. I also messaged paypal about it... it seemed like it was going no where... As of lastnite I asked the person if they had sent the coat yet, and was responded with a No, I will in the morning.. I also said, Id like a picture of the coat in the box as well before you ship it... This morning at 546AM the person messaged me and said, you redeemed your payment so I am not sending the coat, and it is relisted.. I also checked my banking and noticed that there has been no paypal activity on my account.. that would have shown up by now Id assume.... so maybe the bank put a stop on the transfer... I will keep checking my bank account.. maybe this is the way they are doing this though, transfer family and friends, then claim the person redeemed the payment, and continue to relist the item collecting $150... For all I know the paypal will show up in the next few days... You can see the relist here.. the person listing it also created a facebook account this year, a single picture of herself.. Lesson learned for sure on this.... https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1518915168807575/?referralSurface=messenger_lightspeed_banner&referralCode=messenger_banner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
