Have you encountered frequent scams on Facebook - Market Place?
Lately, I've been encountering scams on Facebook in the Market Place tab very often - actually every second ad is dishonest. Products with a lower market value are exhibited. The products are listed from different accounts, but the pictures and content of the ad are the same. They require an advance payment in advance or the full amount. When I ask for an address or phone number, they answer in general terms, avoiding specifics. I personally know a few people who fell for it unfortunately. What can you do about it? Each time it is an amount not exceeding PLN 500... Where to report it? Out of curiosity, I searched the ads and found at least 4 fake accounts probably run by one person who do this (only in the categories of household appliances and furniture).
