Details: | I had a purse listed on craigs list. A expensive one. A day emailed me and texted me that she wanted it. She said she was sending the payment (cash app) as we were texting each other . I didn’t get anything. So I waited a few minutes and about 10 minutes later I got a email from Cash app (a fake email) saying that I had a pending transaction for the amount we agreed on and because I was new in Cash app that I had to send $400 and then they would refund me to make sure that I wasn’t a scammer. I know this sounds stupid but, I was new to cash app. I’m so busy that I just went with it. The email was amazingly perfect just as the real cash app emails would be. So I did it. It said we will deposit your amount in less than 12 hours with the refund of the $400 I sent. Then, the next day I get a email again saying that because the amount was Farley large that I had to switch to a business account to be credited and send another $300 for some kind of business certification and that would be refunded also. I know, I feel stupid but again, I hadn’t used cash app prior so I did. Then one more email came about another amount for something else... but gift cards were acceptable if I didn’t have the debit funds. I emailed cash support and I actually got a response saying that they received the amount I had sent before. This was the real cash support because I did it through my app. Weird? But in any case, right then and theee I thought it was legit. I did it again and then they wanted $500!!! I said no more! The lady was acting like she was upset and was in touch with cash app because she wanted her purse. I started asking her some questions and stuff started to not add up. I told them I didn’t have anymore money to send and I was canceling the purse sale. So I kept her going a bit not letting her know that I was catching on. I acted as if I was sending the purse and got the address. The first one was to a Miami address. I googled it and it was some type of warehouse. Then she changed her mind and wanted to send it to California. I told her I needed a name to send it to Dettling Kurtz. I googled the address and it was a shady shipping company that had terrible reviews of people using them and never getting their orders or losing the packages. SCAM? Then I googled this name and came across This bad buyer list was the very first thing that popped up with this name. I ha e contacted Cash App ( the real one) BBB is publishing my story with the names and info given and I also reported it online to the FBI scam center. Enough is ENOUGH. I know that I probably won’t ever see the money but I will make sure these people are shut down! I will press charges if possible! Sorry so long but I wanted to share my story. |

This post saved me! Thank you. A Facebook account used this name for a delivery address of my laptop that I am trying to sell. I looked up the name out of curiosity and found this post. Thanks so much!
The fake FB account was under the name Manuel Marx.
