Hey everyone, I just wanted to give a heads-up about some serious scamming happening lately in the Classifieds. Over the past weeks, I’ve seen a ton of listings for Mavic 3 Pro drones at prices that seem way too good to be true. Most of these look like scams from hijacked accounts. I almost fell for one, but thankfully, I used PayPal Goods & Services, so I’m getting my money back. If you’re shopping, please be careful out there!
Wow, thanks for the warning! I’ve noticed the same thing and was wondering if it was just me. Those prices really are sketchy.

Right? It’s crazy how many listings popped up! I think they’re trying to take advantage of new year shoppers.
That’s wild! I used 411.com before, but I guess it’s not always reliable? Good tip to verify sellers by calling them!
Honestly, it’s such a hassle to deal with these scammers. I use PayPal for my purchases as well, but I always feel anxious about it.

I get that! It can be nerve-wracking. If they’re not willing to do a video call or send a legit tracking number, it’s a hard pass for me!
Another good idea is to ask for a picture of the item with your username and the date next to it. Stops scammers in their tracks!

Exactly! That way you know they actually have the item. But some scammers can Photoshop that stuff too 
So true. It feels like there’s no way to be 100% safe. Even with PayPal, I’ve still heard stories of people getting scammed.

Yeah, it’s frustrating! Just gotta stay cautious and trust your gut. Better safe than sorry!
