Bloody hell, $100k worth of stuff from marketplace and no one thought to check if it was legit? Ffs people need to wake up.

a lot of people with too much trust and money lol

this is why i only buy from people with actual profiles and history on marketplace, not some random acct with 2 listings

Probably some young mum trying to make ends meet and got caught up. Not excusing it but times are tough.

yeah nah it's not that simple. the system is broken and people desperate, still wrong though

mate she knew what she was doing, don't make excuses for thieves

Honestly marketplace is a cesspool. I sold a phone and the buyer tried to swap it for a brick. These scammers are everywhere.

same thing happened to me! They need to verify sellers or something

Hamilton strikes again. Seriously what is in the water down there

Mason Young2026-07-17T10:54:29.000Z

It's the dairy water. Or maybe the river. Who knows

But also, how does someone even manage to scam $100k without getting caught earlier? Marketplace has no protection
