Facebook Marketplace is No Longer Safe

Scammers are taking over Facebook Marketplace—and it’s costing people thousands of dollars. In this video, I investigate some of the most common scams happening right now, including fake Zelle and Venmo payments, business account fraud, and phishing emails that trick sellers into handing over their money.

I even spoke directly with one of the scammers to understand exactly how the con works. From fake bank emails to phony customer support calls, this scam is spreading fast—not just in the U.S., but in Canada, Australia, and beyond.

If you’ve ever sold something online—whether on Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, or even Pay ID—you need to know how these scams work and how to protect yourself.
