POSHMARK HORROR STORY | I Got SCAMMED by a Seller on Poshmark | How to Avoid Scams on Poshmark 

I almost got scammed the same way, but I decided not to buy it cuz it seemed too good to be true (the price).

I bought a $100 Lego and they sent my package (which had a sicker not a Lego) to a different address in my town. Luckily the post office told us the new address and we talked to the person and then we contacted Poshmark and got our money back. I don’t use PayPal so it ended there

@@Dt-zn2lx glad it ended okay!!

I have a closet set up on poshmark and my listings are to educate people on how to identify scam closets, how they work and how to prove it's a scam for a refund. I also sent you a message through poshmark in a bundle..

I know what they gain besides what you have listed. They make a main closet and link all their scam closets (hundreds) to the main one with a referral code. When they make the first sale poshmark pays the main acct 10.00 for the referral.. This 10.00 adds up quickly

Same here! I put it off wayyy too long but it’s so important

Getting hustled is bad. What aren’t people understanding? Side hustle? Side scam.

Omg the scammers are relentless!!

Wow, thanks that means a lot!! 😊

Yes, the whole thing was a crazy learning experience and thankfully I didnt lose anything but time in the process!

Thank you so much for watching!!

It’s definitely one of those things that a lot of people put off, including me. Make it your 2022 goal haha thanks for watching!!

I know right lol points for creativity

thank you for hoping on the roller coaster with me LOL

Thank you so much for watching!! 😊

Thank you for watching!!

That’s great to know, thanks for sharing!!

I also use my married name, but I never legally changed it (I still use my maiden name), to protect my personal information

Oh man, I hope it wasn't a scam! Thanks you so much for watching!! :)

That's Happened To Me As Well If I'm Not mistaken You Can Block Those People Go To Your Sellers Hub For Ebay It Should Have A Section That Says Block or You Can Report A Buyer

Yea they tried telling me that I was like nah I’m good

Thank you so much for watching!

If you get a shipping box at an ups store it’s a normal looking address not a P.O. Box. Maybe that would work.

@@ann-mariebeach9798 thank you. I didn't know that.

I’m glad I could entertain 😂🙌🏽

I was wondering the same thing about the paypal account. Good idea about the shipping name.

I have no idea 🤷🏻‍♀️

Ohh how funny! Yeah maybe change it if you can

If that was the case then you could just tape the piece of cardboard to any intersection where people are waiting to cross the street and you wouldnt need to mail it to anyone

Thanks for watching!!

YES!! Fakes on Poshmark is a HUGE problem, especially with brands like Gucci and Louis Vuitton

Oh wow, that is actually a smart scam if you think about it... definitely something to be aware of as a buyer. Thanks for sharing

How they change an original address on the label?🤔

@@yulidrke3500 maybe they keep the posh print out for them barcodes to show it was scanned and delivered and just black out a number on the address. Replace it with a different one. It's really scary. Time for a PO Box as someone suggested.

​@yulidrke3500 super easy to do in PDF.

Thanks for watching! 😊

I disagree … I recently had non sales within two days that totaled over 3000 dollars … all the buyers were different but two and no buyer had a pic nor history nor name other than first name and numerical name, none of the buyers would reply to my “thanks for purchasing your item will ship soon” opening statement… but after checking my labels every single buyer had the same Miami address to of all places a federal building to a security desk….. all delivered to exact same place … once delivered not one person responded … I did get paid after 72hrs but then months later all sales were charged back for stolen credit cards and my money account was stolen out of my accounts …. So yeah I should have known better and not shipped when I saw all those same addresses and no size correlation and no response and also no buyer history but … I have such standing on Poshmark that I thought they would have my back if something went wrong but that was not the case… I also believe what this seller is talking about could have also been the end goal for they got my items and I lost due to not watching addresses carefully enough . Main lesson do not sell to any name with numbers attached and that don’t respond in correct English to you after a sell. Cancel all else

Thanks for watching! 😊

I likely had nothing to do with Posh. Think they tried resetting her password and figured out the answer to her security questions like "pet's name" or "mother's maiden name".

Poshmark did have a security breach a few years ago. Not sure if they could have looked up the information from that once they had her name?

The only info I can they got for sure was your address and name from the shipping label. And I think the scammer knew the funds needs to be released first that’s why they had so many accounts more chances for someone to just accept it before opening thus making profit. Maybe you were hacked twice at same time?

Glad you didn't lose any money! Thanks for watching

Ugh such a pain to deal with!!

I know right 😂

I got scammed on Poshmark, when I messaged them they did nothing.

Me too! I’m beginning to believe they know the scammers exist, but they don’t care!!!!

@@gwene.4726 they’re great at helping both sides. Love them

Ugh that is so unfortunate!

Smh that’s wild idk why they think they will be paid for scamming

Crushed leaves?? Omg! 😂😂😂 people are freaking crazy

Hmm thanks for sharing, that is so interesting! Maybe I should pay for items another way on Poshmark

I myself am not comfortable using or accepting payment from PayPal. I used my bank account, so just in case someone does unauthorized purchase, my bank will give a notification prior confirmation .

I just talked to my business Banker today, and they said never ever use your bank account for any online transactions. There is way less protection than if you would use a credit card.

I know right 😅

reach out to poshmark and they should take care of it for you! They are pretty good about that stuff

I still have so many questions!! I got a new wave of anxiety filming this video lol

@@faithhommes3902 which is totally understandable!! If the two are related, Posh needs to double down on their security features! Double checking to see if my own PayPal can be on two-factor authentication now ☹️

Thanks for watching! 😊
