Online sale scam costs seller $16,700

Another day, another scam. Banks do nothing to protect people. It's a disgrace. I've been saying for years these online marketplaces need to be held accountable. Someone's life savings gone just like that.

how do you fall for that? link asking for bank details and you just hand em over??? sorry but common sense mate

Tom Harris2026-06-16T03:22:46.000Z

blaming much? Not everyone knows about these scams. Have some empathy.

Isla Cooper2026-06-16T03:55:46.000Z

Exactly! Like how desperate are you to sell something that you ignore every red flag?

Sage Lawson2026-06-16T03:28:46.000Z

$16,700? That's brutal. Hope she gets it back somehow but probably won't. Banks always find a way to blame the victim.

Ruby Fraser2026-06-16T04:20:46.000Z

Yep. And even when they do 'investigate', they take weeks. By then the money's long gone offshore.

Noah Bennett2026-06-16T04:25:46.000Z

Yeah nah, I'm not surprised. These scams are everywhere now. But honestly, if someone sends you a random link and you click it and enter your bank details... I mean come on.

Don't blame her. Blame the scumbags who run these scams and the banks that let it happen.

Poor woman. So easy to get caught out when you're just trying to sell something. Scammers need to get a real job.

Eva Anderson2026-06-16T05:27:46.000Z

same, I always check with my dad now before I click anything

Sophie Ngata2026-06-16T04:49:46.000Z

This is heartbreaking. We need better education about these scams. Not everyone is tech savvy.

Noah Bennett2026-06-16T04:56:46.000Z

but also we gotta look out for ourselves. These scams are well known now.

Sophie Ngata2026-06-16T05:19:46.000Z

right. We need to help each other, not judge.

Ruby Fraser2026-06-16T05:16:46.000Z

Work in banking. See this shit every day. It's always the same story - someone clicks a link, enters details, money gone. But people still do it. Ffs.
