I'm glad you're covering this. I've been following this account for awhile and I was hoping more people would come out and expose him. He poses as a pregnant woman who's been collecting her whole life, but needs to sell cheap to pay for the baby. Really weird stuff its gross that hes trying to scam such a harmless community.

@hudsonms 4 года назад

I had an encounter with this exact page on Instagram before the holidays! I saw sets I wanted, plus attractive prices. I messaged the account and had a convo with the page, and all sets I mentioned were available, at great prices. I was skeptical that it was too good to be true but what really did it was then asking for me to use the Western Union to transfer founds. I believe my total quote was above 600 so the “PayPal above 600” was BS because they said they wouldn’t do PayPal. So I kindly backed out. Then the account sent a slew of messages desperately trying to say I wouldn’t get scammed. I’m glad I saw this quickly, thanks for making this video. I hope these scammers do get busted...
