Please be Advised and Aware I believe that my Facebook account and Marketplace account was at Risk of being hacked by criminals in Pretoria and Bloemfontein yesterday 16th, I received a Wats app notification saying that I need to verify my account and that if I don't it will be locked, I use Facebook for a number of years and I sell goods on this platform, so it takes you to a log in screen the link to the Wats app which makes you input your cellphones number or email address and password shortly after I receive the notification I am logged in windows in Bloemfontein,I believe that someone recently that has bought from Me 16/10/24 as I normally send my identification proof to New customers so they know I am reliable has perhaps fallen into the wrong hands and please be advised that I only use LR Berry Capitec Bank account I don't do Cash sends or any other bank accounts to accept payment of Goods other than my own legit Account and they were hoping to use My Identity Card and My Facebook Marketplace and Personal Account to scam people. I had someone yesterday asking for more photos who resides in Pretoria coincidentally I also got a notification that my account was active in Pretoria which is very far from Johannesburg South where I live, also I had a request yesterday asking for what I'm selling which at first seems normal but I think it's a way to forward images linked to my account so that they can get people to pay the criminals using my ID confirmation and into Their Criminal accounts and never receive the goods as it's not me, Please be on the lookout I always send every item purchased from me so if you don't receive it someone has tried to scam you using my ID and details which is so scary and it effects the honest people selling on Facebook Marketplace, it Gives us a Bad name sadly.
Please be advised that if you purchase from me on Facebook Marketplace that I am reliable and have had no bad reviews or track record. This is my lively hood and I take pride in serving my new and regular clients.
Please be careful and be on the lookout for anything suspicious 🙏🙏🙏🙏 to keep your account and transactions scam free.
