Recent scam

 A friend of mine (Supposedly) had several things listed for sale not, in Marketplace, but on her feed. The post said her dad was moving to a smaller place and had things for sale. It also said she was going to be out of town for a few days so if you were interested you could pay half down to hold the item and when she got back home, you could come look in person and either pay the rest or you’d get your money back. Sounds fair enough right? Some of the “things” listed were a Jeep, tractor, lawn mower, bigger ticket items and there were pictures and the prices too. Fred was interested in the tractor so I messaged her about payment, and it would have to be through Venmo. Right there I sent a text message to her, and she said she’d been hacked. So, I posted SCAMMER in big letters and my friend deleted her account. Ask for your complimentary copy of "Don't be a victim of scams" by going to yoursafemoneyshow.com or call 320-679-5183.
