Consumer Narrative
I was selling a dress on facebook market on Monday XX/XX/XXXX to a person named XXXX XXXX and the person who bought my dress asked for my name and phone number under my account to zelle me the money and i provided them my email but then i got emails from a fake zelle email saying to follow procedures to receive the money and the first one was to send the tracking number of the package for verification.I did that.Then the next said to send {$600.00} for verification but will be refunded back to me and another email said that the person sent an extra {$600.00} to me so i had to refund it back and thats what and the last email said to zelle {$770.00} to finally receive the money fully to verify and the total of {$1900.00} will be refunded back to me. I then realized that the zelle email was fake and the person hasnt been answering me ever since. I ended up giving away what i was selling for free and lost {$1900.00}.
