Its back listed in Winnipeg under a new user name... it was in Brandon when I got scammed, and later a small town in Saskatchewan

Im going to play stupid later and message them and tell them to meet me knowing its a fake, and then when they tell me to paypal, going to remind them I already fell for that one... contacting facebook does nothing to alert its a scam... I do notice theire asking price has since doubled up...

I saw the exact same listing in my area and posted it about two weeks after your incident. I’ve learned now to NOT deal with profiles that were created in the current year (in this case, 2024)

Looks amazing... But my gut says it looks better than it feels... 🤔

Exactly… that’s happened at least twice in my dealings. I’ve also had situations where it has FELT better than what was originally pictured 😉

Well I would not be able to imagine lynx letting you down on the FEEL! Any lynx item I bought has been incredibly soft, so I would go for it, this looks like a steal!

Well, that looks like a great find. It warrants an in person inspection, if it isn't too far. Take cash [up to what you might be willing to pay, given your appraisal].

When buying on FB marketplace, ALWAYS meet in person to see the item BEFORE making a payment.  If they ask for a money transfer of any sort without meeting, it's almost certainly a scam.  This is how I bait and report scammers.
