Don't be so hasty. On July 22 you'd a got $2465, on July 24 you'd a got $2967. Wait until Aug 1, and you can retire!

Oh, wait . . .

You didn’t click the links right?

Question, generally speaking, not what is possible:

If I were to click on a link on my iPhone the same bad things generally wouldn’t happen to phone as opposed to a PC right?

I am aware of the zero click Israeli software issue.

Tempted to turn on a VPN and go for it.

We have a guy supposedly sending us a cashiers check for a piano to be sent to a cargo freight line…

D2 replaced her 2013 MacBook Air last week. I put it up for sale on eBay, and after 6 ½ days got zero bids. Zero.

So, I thought, FB Marketplace is a bit more of a hassle, but I get better and faster results.

I listed it for sale on FB last night for $150, and within hours I had several offers.

Before I show what I think was an obvious scam, I got a legit offer at my asking price, and I sold it at about 2:30.

This "buyer" is in San Antonio. The listing was for local pickup only.

So. Many. Red. Flags.

Yeah, you get those, but I have had better luck on FB than Craigslist or Ebay.

@Mik it was a PITA, with multiple people asking and only about 10% of them serious. I had 3 people who were willing to buy and meet today, and I picked the one who decided to show up earliest.

It was hard to tell the others that you were beat out.
