izzypikachu THE SCAM: a seller is contacted by a person who offers to buy their item and pay through a cashiers check. The buyer then sends a much larger sum of money then originally intended, asking the seller to give the money to a third party, commonly movers of some sort, through western union or money gram.

Jul 25Reply

izzypikachu The seller then sends the money, which turns out to not actually exist, as the check is fraudulent. So, the scammer will get large sums of real money, leaving the seller now out the amount that was wired to someone else.I had originally agreed upon a price for 110, but was sent a check for 1200. Being naive and trusting, I deposited this check.

Jul 25Reply

izzypikachu The situation seemed suspicious however, as the buyer began hounding me about depositing RIGHT AWAY. I looked into it, and sure enough, I was being scammed. Thank god I did not spend any of that money or wire it to him. I could have been out thousands of dollars. I was already dinged 50 as a result of the check being bounced.

izzypikachu BE CAREFUL GUYS!!

izzypikachu The scammer will threaten you and try to scare you into doing it. DON'T FALL FOR IT!!!

Jul 25Reply

elenimus Oh wow ;( that's terrible! Thank you for posting. I read the whole thing and had something similar happen to me. Trying to do the same thing with a check and I suggested m e r c. or 🅿️p, but didn't get a response so I didn't insist on the conversation and ended it at that. Scary stuff though! Again, thank you for posting this.

Aug 09Reply

izzypikachu @elenimus No problem! I want toward people before they end up out a whole lot of money!!

shandell_marie Hey guys, so this happened to me as well. I just got the check today and sent it to the fraud department of my bank. They got back to me and confirmed it fraudulent. I haven't sent my item. Any thoughts on what to do next?

Sep 24Reply

izzypikachu @shandell_marie Don't continue responding to the guy, and if you can, block him. Save his emails, if he threatened you, you can report for harassment, if not, you can still report him to your local post office for mail fraud, which is a felony! Other than that you've done pretty much everything you could!

Sep 26Reply

shandell_marie I actually called the FBI and reported it. I am saving everything. He is harassing me now. I'm not responding to him but he is calling and texting me constantly.

Sep 26Reply

jordan_browning This just happened to me today when I got a check for $1,650 but I am not cashing it in I emailed customer service and am taking the check to the bank because it is fake.

Nov 20Reply

samedels I also had this happen to me and I'm currently getting threatening texts and emails. This person is telling me there going to kill me. What is wrong with people?

20mmcqua Hey guys, so I see you all experienced what I think I am going through right now. I got the same type of email and I just received the check today. I unknowingly deposited the check before I read all this information. So now what do I do? Will the check just get bounced and I get charged a fee and that's all?

Jan 20Reply

truint1 @20mmcqua this same thing I think is currently happening to me. This girl had me email her regarding if my listing was still available, and then offered me the price plus an addition $40. She said it would be a bank certified check. I haven't received it yet but now I am very weary and scared. Will the bank know right away if it is fraudulent ?

Feb 14Reply

20mmcqua @truint1 do not deposit the check!! Take the check to the bank and don't contact the person anymore. I deposited the check and the bank ended up having to close my account because it was at risk. I would just take the check to the bank and tell the the situation.

Feb 14Reply

truint1 @20mmcqua I guess the interesting this is what happens if you try to cash the check instead of depositing it? The person contacting me is Sandra.phillips@gmail.com, has anyone else been contacted by her??

basiljennar @marielelena the same thing happened to me today. He said he wants to pay for it with a certified bank check and will pay me an extra $30 for holding it until his son is out of the icu, and it's for his wife

ghopecooper @truint1 same thing just happened to me and I thought it was too good to be true. Like word for word. I think I'm going to have to decline this offer. It's my first "sale" so I'm willing to bet it's a scam. Glad I found this thread!

Mar 06Reply

ann_is_awesome @truint1 I was just contacted by her!!! So glad I saw this, although I was wary of the whole thing immediately. No one is that excited about an old coat. 😜

Mar 08Reply

truint1 @annkreul if she calls or texts you don't respond regardless of what she says. My brother is a police office and traced the number and it's just a google number. He said its not worth reporting these people because they probably don't even live in the us

Mar 08Reply

ann_is_awesome @truint1 thanks! Unfortunately I did give my email address but that was the extent of it. So glad I read up albeit a tiny bit too late. She posted the comment on my listing and now it is gone!

Mar 08Reply

kathymak @annkreul I've gotten 2 comments from people asking me to e-mail them because they had a question about something I was selling. I e-mailed the guy and he responded with a sob story and wanted my contact info so he can mail me a check. Luckily my item was sold before he responded. I just responded that the item was no longer available. There are scammers out there. Watch out!!!!

Mar 10Reply

ann_is_awesome @kathymak I also had someone asking if I would sell to them on marcari. I asked a question about it and got no answer. Their comment then disappeared.

Mar 10Reply

loribell85 @truint1 yes. I was contacted by the exact same person today.

Mar 11Reply

truint1 @loribell85 there are so many scammers on here! It's getting so bad

Mar 11Reply

gabymonique_ @izzypikachu that just happened to me Monday! Same emails I got. But I didn't give out my cell number which they requested for who knows what reason. I am now dealing with a bounced check in my account. And have to pay it. Wells Fargo sucks and won't refund me my money whatsoever. Definitely learned my lesson!

Mar 11Reply

izzypikachu Guys, if anybody posts asking you to email them, DO NOT RESPOND. Do not give them your email. If you already emailed them, stop responding to their emails all together. Only sell your stuff through websites or apps that protect both buyers and sellers!

Mar 11Reply

shereenmo @basiljennar omg exact thing happened to me just now. Son in the icu and sent fake picture.

Mar 12Reply

maximizefashion haha got two of these today, I was suspicious so i looked online which brought me here. Thank you for making us aware.

Mar 12Reply

marijaaah @truint1 she contacted me at sent me a $1650 when I only asked for $295 or something but it's obviously a scam so i'm not depositing it

Mar 16Reply

sagius2017 @izzypikachu hi, thank you for the headsup. same thing is happening to me. The guy started by asking me if one item i listed was still available and asked me to contact him by email. I emailed him and he responded with a long email telling me that he had to take care of his sick son and would arrange someone to pickup my stuff.

Mar 31Reply

sagius2017 @izzypikachu He said he would mail me a certified check of $1050. The item he's buying from me is just less than $100. He told me to cash my portion and give the rest of the money to the guy who is coming for pickup. He asked me for my address and name, which I think he would use to mail the check.

Mar 31Reply

sagius2017 @izzypikachu Now I totally understand this must be another scam, but one thing I just don't get. How does the scam actually work? I mean, if I am going to deposit or cash the check, what will happen next? what are they going to steal from me?

Mar 31Reply

leog1994 Same thing is happening to me rn someone claiming to be Jed bentler is happily paying way over the price of my red supreme north face jacket @carol5647 is the culprit this is how she started off and sounds familiar Kindly get back to me if your item is still available forsale my work email is jedbentler869@gmail.com ... he's dumb!!!!

Apr 01Reply

connorsmom15 @basiljennar omg I think the guy is trying to scam me. Is his email jenniferdawton76@gmail.com

Apr 01Reply

basiljennar @connorsmom15 yes! Do not make any sales outside of Poshmark! He's going to tell you he will give you a cashier check for his wife because their son is in the icu (a story along those lines) and when you cash it, it will bounce your account! Report them to posh immediately! Hope this helps :)

Apr 01Reply

basiljennar If you've already gotten a check turn it into the bank

Apr 01Reply

connorsmom15 @basiljennar thank you sooo much

Apr 01Reply

basiljennar @connorsmom15 of course! I would hate to see someone get all their money taken because someone is too lazy to get their own job so they have to scam people! I actually fell for something like this about a year ago and it left me -$2000

Apr 01Reply

basiljennar @connorsmom15 hey I emailed her pretending I wanted to help her out, and I got all of her information and will be giving it to the police :)

Apr 01Reply

connorsmom15 @basiljennar I'm so sorry it left you -2000!.... thanks for helping you are an amazing person.

Apr 01Reply

basiljennar @connorsmom15 of course! And it's just so wrong I can't stand these people getting away with it!

Apr 01Reply

connorsmom15 @basiljennar I can't stand it either. I hope these scammers get caught eventually.

Apr 01Reply

basiljennar @connorsmom15 I know! She told me her son is in the ICU for a broken arm..you'd think they'd have a better story

Apr 01Reply

connorsmom15 @basiljennar they are pathetic.

browniekay_ @leog1994 Same thing happened to me. I think he or she made a new page though. "Jed Bentler" left me a comment on an item I'm listing.

Apr 05Reply

campash14 Same thing happened to me literally yesterday! From someone named Gail Moody. She recently sent me a check for $1800 and my mom luckily works at a bank and realized that it was a scam and is taking it to the bank now to get it all sorted out!

Apr 10Reply

jasmine1218 @izzypikachu I am new to Poshmark I wish I saw this earlier I actually was talking to this girl claiming she was in the marines and gave me her email and said she would pay 30 bucks to hold. She got my address and email but luckily I never gave her my cell number. What should I do just not respond and rip the check up when I get it. The name is Clarissamore@gmail.com. I feel so stupid. I'm scared.

Apr 13Reply

shopchimie We are all dealing with the same person: 1. Always gmail account, 2. Same icu son in hospital story, 3. Additional $30 to keep for holding the item. Check to see if the package comes from Cranston RI, 02920. Scammer may be borrowing other business' address but must be in close proximity as the tracking number provides 02920 as the start scan point.

Apr 16Reply

shopchimie Turn the check over to fraud department at your bank as they should be able to confirm (once confirmed makes even more solid case), take a picture of the envelope w from address & the check to report to police office. Here is the contact info for the police office in RI: Cranston Police Department 5 Garfield Avenue Cranston, RI 02920 Phone: (401) 942-2211

Apr 16Reply

shopchimie I think it is best to report to the police officer near proximity of where the crime is first happening so they can check their local businesses. I plan to call and submit evidence myself today.

Apr 16Reply

shopchimie It is not OK to scam/threaten people. I thought I was the only person but apparently the same person is harassing others & breaking their inner peace. We can all take small measures to keep this a safe place.

Apr 16Reply

izzypikachu @jasmine1218 hi! Report the check to your bank or post office, because it is mail fraud. Don't respond to anything the harasser says. Eventually he/she/they will stop.

Apr 17Reply

izzypikachu @shopchimie totally agree. Hopefully we can catch this person and make posh a little safer again.

Apr 17Reply

jasmine1218 @izzypikachu Hey I actually just said I couldn't sell it to them and they stopped responding.

Apr 17Reply

rachelgriffiith I just fell for this. Someone emailed me today and I sent them my address and phone # before really reading into it. I emailed them right away and said to disregard my agreement to sell, and do not send the check. But now I am scared because now they have my address. Am I in danger? What do I do now?

Apr 19Reply

sagius2017 @hjtrinkets I never responded to him anymore since I realized that it was a scam. He texted me a couple of times to arrange someone to pick up the remainder of the check. I just don't understand what and how he would benefit from this? If I did deposit the check, what else would happen besides my account being bounced? What are they going to get at all?

Apr 20Reply

sagius2017 @hjtrinkets Only knowing your email address won't allow them to do anything expect for sending you harassment messages. Even knowing your mailing address won't be a big problem I guess, unless their intent is to harm somebody. I think we'll just ignore them and see if they'll take further action. We can report it to the police if necessary.

Apr 20Reply

sagius2017 @hjtrinkets this can't only happen on postmark, even eBay has the same issue I guess. That's why they've made a very serious statement on the offline transaction. As long as we continue to shop or sell on trading website, we'll see thinks like to happen. We just need to pay extra attention.

Apr 20Reply

geneluv @truint1 this happened to me today!

Apr 23Reply

kristindaviss @elilo1978 the same exact thing happened to me they offered me $40 ontop of my price to hold the bag for her wedding anniversary! I just got the check for $1650 totally suspicious and before I cashed the check I went on here I'm so glad to have found this thread. I will go to my bank and let them know about this and turn in the check! The person who emailed me went by Jamie.majors beware!

Apr 25Reply

bbylily722 I just deposited the check. Omg

Apr 26Reply

lovelaughshop22 @bbylily722 don't touch the money or send anything the Check will bounce and unfortunately if you withdraw the funds you are liable to pay it back. This scam is over 10 years old and western union was sued at one point for turning a blind eye to fraudulent wires. Worst case scenario it bounces and you recover any,possible negatives

Apr 28Reply

bbylily722 @socky4thesole thank god i googled scammers on poshmark out of curiosity I went back an hour after I deposited and report it to the bank that it was a fraudulent check. They were nice enough to reverse the check. But what I'm curious about is what if I wait for the check to fully clear?

Apr 28Reply

lovelaughshop22 @bbylily722 one of two things happens if your bank trust you they may release the full funds or $100 before the funds are actually verified. If they make you wait the full processing period it will just bounce and you'll see the hold amount that was deposited or full amount reversed in your account. If you spend it and had 1 dollar in your account then you'll get a whopping - $1000 negative. I worked in banking and unfortunately my mom was victim to this same scam and it was a 6,000 check.

Apr 28Reply

bbylily722 @socky4thesole people like that are such low lives....their mother should of swallowed them. God please forgive me, but people work hard for their money and these assholes just preys on people's hard earned money. I hope people would find this thread and not be the next victim.

Apr 28Reply

lovelaughshop22 @bbylily722 yea it's sickening, and they have no remorse. Between the fake IRS scam, the Mastercard scam, and so many others it's annoying that someone could care less about another's lively hood. Karma will hit them good and hard one day that's for sure.

Apr 28Reply

bbylily722 @socky4thesole I agree. Thank you for breaking this scam process down for me.

ddgirl28 This happened to me yesterday the email was ThomasJohnson@gmail.com . She wanted to pay me in a check and said something about being in the marines. And she said she was gonna give me an extra 50 dollars for holding my stuff. she wanted to meet up in a plublic location. I was like what? You are doing way too much just order the shoes through Poshmark and continue ur day! I was so dizzy i didnt know what she wanted it. So the next day I googled "Poshmark scams" and found this.

Apr 30Reply

pegaritaaa Same thing just happened to me, persons name is Nicole Rima. Offered me an extra $50 to hold my item until I get the check, then once I cash the check, they will pick up my item. It seems fishy, so I am not going to send them anymore info! Thank goodness for this thread!

sulagna123 @fuhfuhfiwo hi I also got the email for sherryjerry. I didn't know this was a scam so I asked her to mail the cheque and she did it . And I am glad my husband told me yesterday that this is a scam . What shall I do with the cheque ? Shall I report to police or shall I just not reply to them anymore ?

May 05Reply

fuhfuhfiwo @sulagna123 I'm not 100% sure what you should do! Maybe bring it into your bank and tell them about the potential fraud?

May 05Reply

sagius2017 If someone still don't know how scammers actually cheat, check out this article. http://www.fraud.org/fake_check_scams Bottom line, never ever deposit the check if someone sends you one that's way more than the value of your item and ask you to send back the rest of the money. It may end up costing you thousands of dollars.

May 06Reply

misspikachu THIS IS MY FIRST DAY ON POSHMARK AND IT JUST HAPPENED TO ME. I gave all the info asked for like a complete moron bec I finally thought I sold a shoulder bag. If I get a check I will report it to the bank. I blocked both emailers. Thank god for this thread. I should've checked earlier !

May 07Reply

meekonese @izzypikachu thank u so much for this post!! I googled to see if anyone on Poshmark had similar experience. I got a comment to email that same person "marymorgagan1127" gmail address, and asking me to hold item so she can send me a bank certified check. Thank u so much for this warning!!!!! I have stopped responding! Wow what crazy people out there!!

May 08Reply

cdazzle81 This is so annoying. This happened to me today not 5 minutes after my first listing went up. Seemed shady that someone wanted to voluntarily pay almost double for an item so I did some digging before responding. Came across this thread and obliviously I was right to be sketched out. Wish there was more we could do to keep creepers like this off the site.

sydneejoi Just happened to me! Thank God for this thread! The guy emailed me under "Joseph Cotton," and wanted my full name, full address, and cell. I've handled sells on Craigslist offline so I thought this was completely normal for my first potential sale. But as soon as he 1) Asked to go offline, 2) Promised a certified bank check 3) Gave a heart tug story that had nothing to do with anything (before his wedding) 4) promised extra cash, then it was like, "Yea, this is probably a scam..." This sucks!

xobenn Whenever someone asks to make a deal via check, you ALWAYS gotta think, fraudulent checks. ALWAYS!!! They do this everywhere everyday every second. (Especially on craigslist) but i guess they're targeting younger kids now since they're easy targets. Don't be an easy target, be smart.

victoriahly I think someone was attempting this same thing with me just today. Asked to purchase an item and to communicate through email and offered an extra amount of money to hold the item as she was in "the Marines." It sounded pretty sketchy so I did some research and found this post! Thank goodness 😥 user is @katie378

marilynwalkerr i listed a purse and within minutes, 3 people with weird usernames told me to email them or respond to their email...now i'm guessing it's a scam, but I already reached out to one of the users and they said they wanted to mail me a check...should i just ignore??

Jun 03Reply

mitchliona OMG so I just found out about this post and the same exact thing is happening to me! I just realized my mistake. I was emailing the person and gave them my address and phone number. After I realized that the amount about to be sent to me was to large to be real, I emailed the person back telling them I don't want to continue this anymore. The user is @viola8762y3873u. Hopefully this does not worsen!!!

c_o_c_o_99 Does anyone know if Poshmark user, dfdfgfggf is a scammer? They left a comment on a pair of shoes asking me to contact them through email. I did and now they want me to send them my address, full name, asking price,and phone number. They also said they would be willing to pay an extra $60 for me to hold to hold the item.

dbmaedwards @rika9816 wanted to share this with you, I had noticed on several things in your closet ppl wanting you to respond back to them through email which is usually scam. I usually respond back to them and tell them I only go through poshmark. After that they'll delete their comment! They want you to do something like this..

Jun 07Reply

dbmaedwards @c_o_c_o_99 scam! Anytime somebody wants you to email them outside of poshmark beware!

Jun 07Reply

c_o_c_o_99 @dbmaedwards thank you! I haven't emailed them since I became aware of this.

dbmaedwards @c_o_c_o_99 your welcome! I've been there and done that so now I'm real cautious!

Jun 07Reply

dbmaedwards @rika9816 your welcome! She probably won't reply back to you now but if she does she's gonna want to go through email which is always scam. If they can do it through email then they can through poshmark! I've been scammed before so always very cautious now..

tsizick I'm glad I came across this thread. I did not agree to accept the cashier's check, but I did email the person back to answer about availability of one of my items and since then I've had two other people asking me to email them outside of Poshmark in a matter of days. It's just terrible what they are doing.

ggambin21 The person who tried to reach out to me privately calls herself/himself Juliana Bruce. This scammer claims to be busy with work and kids and wanted to send her assistant to pick up the shoes. I have a gmail account that I never use and my work address. I did provide my cell phone number but I don't answer numbers I don't recognize. After three emails, the person appears to have given up.

emilygipson @ggambin21 the same person is scamming me!! They claim to have sent the check but I didn't give them my phone number. As soon as it comes in I'm taking it to the bank as a fraudulent check. They offered an extra $50 and kept talking about work and kids too.

Jul 09Reply

ggambin21 @emilygipson I'm so sorry you're going through this! Truly awful!! Not sure you'll see a check but definitely turn it over to the police and maybe it will be some kind of lead. I got another fake inquiry from these guys this morning which I ignored and somehow the post disappeared from the page.

Jul 09Reply

emilygipson @ggambin21 I think they're making numerous fake accounts and commenting on pictures but once someone emails them, they delete the account. That might be why the comments are disappearing. I reposted the item they "purchased" and will be waiting to see if I get the check or not and then take it to the bank to make sure it's fraudulent and then to the police. I'm so thankful I saw this thread as I'm about to move to college and don't really want to be owing the bank money now.

Jul 09Reply

ggambin21 @emilygipson I reposted my item as well. I hope they cut their losses with you and that you're able to move to this next phase of your life without any stress or worry.

designerchic03 joined today and got a similar email! Part of my proceeds from all of my bags are going to charity so you can imagine my excitement when one of my bags that I was listing for $900 was sold for $900! That would be huge for the charity. The person's name was Britto Vivian. She sent me a message saying that she's not on here that often and could I email her. She listed her email address and said the price was fine and she wanted to send payment ASAP.

Jul 13Reply

designerchic03 I emailed her and told her a certified Bank check would be fine. still a little suspicious I didn't know where she was from and didn't feel comfortable giving out my address. I thought maybe it could be a scam and I knew I definitely wanted to look her up so I asked for her name and her address so I could get the bag ready for her. I never heard back. I sent her another email asking if she got my email because I was having internet problems

Jul 17Reply

dedannda @alexiabianne That's what I would do. If you have time this week to stop by your bank, I would just let one of the tellers know that you received the check and you believe it to be fraudulant and they should be able to advise you from there. :) Good luck!

olivia_v65 Two different people commented on two of my posts giving their email and asking if it was still available. Their username was a bunch of random letters and numbers they had no listings and they had joined just a few days earlier and me being stupid I emailed one of them. They responded offering an extra $30 to hold the item saying they would send me a bank certified check.

olivia_v65 I was suspicious and I should've been even before I emailed them. When I looked at my post both comments were deleted! The man I emailed was "Martin dorff". I emailed him back saying that I can only sell the item through poshmark or eBay, I have yet to get a reply.

Jul 17Reply

olivia_v65 I then looked up "poshmark scams" and I'm so glad I saw this thread. He did say he would wait for the check to be cleared with my bank but he is a scammer and if you get a comment from someone saying his email is "Martin dorff" DO NOT REPLY.

mstoppelman Hi all I just recently joined poshmark and got two scam emails. To the first, I was actually dumb enough to send out my address and phone number, but to the second, I simply replied that I would rather sell through Poshmark. I told the first scammer that I was no longer interested in selling my dress, and got an insulting reply, I have not responded since. If I end up getting a check I will take it to the bank for fraud right away, but I would just like some peace of mind from you all.

Jul 17Reply

mstoppelman Is there something the scammer can do with the information I sent out? I know it's unlikely a scammer would show up at my house and harm me, considering he probably doesn't live in the US, but I would like some reassurance from those that have previously given out this info. I can't believe I was so dumb

Jul 17Reply

catherinefburke I was asked to offered this same scam three times in the last hour by three different users. 😂😂 Basically, unless they're purchasing through Poshmark or asking questions on Poshmark, it's not worth the hassle.

Jul 17Reply

mcaridadp @izzypikachu they are telling me to go deposit the money. What do I do?

Jul 18Reply

mstoppelman @mcaridadp hi I do believe the best course of action in this case is to take the check to the bank and tell your teller the check is a fraud. The bank will take the check most likely. Whatever you do, don't deposit the check. If these scammers continue to harass/threaten you, first of all don't respond but also take all the communication to the police and stay hyper vigilant.

Jul 18Reply

mstoppelman @mcaridadp it's important to remember these people wont want to waste time targeting a single individual, but they also most likely don't live in the US. That being said, be sure to check your credit cards and bank accounts very carefully for a while to make sure there is no other kind of fraud

izzypikachu @rachaelamiller @hannaparker2 definitely don't sell to these people. You can't stop them from sending the check, but take the fraudulent one to your bank and report the scam. You can also do the same at your local post office, as mail fraud is a crime

Jul 21Reply

amandadehay @jennahough I don't think someone would, but just in case I don't think it can hurt calling the police. Better safe than sorry especially since this is clearly a pattern! Also...maybe email the guy and said you've contacted the cops and that will be a deterrent to them

abbyrose33 Wow... @pm_editor should really look into this. I just posted an item not 10 minutes ago and already got two "fake" comments asking to email about the item. I told them I only communicate through Poshmark and the comment was gone less than a minute later.

I emailed them and told them I was t going to sell cause i didnt trust the email and then thus morning they emailed back saying, "hello Jessica" which sounds super creepy. Are the going to come to my house or are they just going to send like fake mail and stuff?

Jul 29Reply

shelbytw42 @allsportsmom did y'all give out your information to these people?? I gave mine out to one and I'm scared they are going to find me or something. I told him I did not want to sell and to stop messaging before I got police involved.

Jul 29Reply

munkie671 @izzypikachu hi this was the same scam going through many online selling sites. I had the same experience when I got sent a check larger than the amount by 4K with instructions to deposit and send through welsfargo. I did not cash the check or send money because the check upon further inspection was a company check. So what scammers do they use a company account and once you cash you can be the one to get in trouble for stealing and fraudulent check.

Jul 29Reply

nicholeej I just got an email from a woman offering me extra money for a dress...but she wouldn't purchase it through posh...only cashier's check..

aleksspopova Can't believe I was about to fall for this.... just received the check last week and feeling like an idiot, I searched poshmark scam to see if anything was out there because I just had a bad bad feeling. And of course, I shouldn't have given her my address!!!! But so glad I saw this before I considered depositing it or screwing myself over!!!

Aug 01Reply

aleksspopova I will block her number and stop responding thanks to you! Should I go tell my bank the check is fraudulent? I never deposits it so I don't want any involvement Further? Or bring it to the mail?

snarkyclark @kristindaviss i dealt with someone with the same story. realized it was a scam after i sent my info. had responded to emails that i wasn't interested in dealing with them further but i think the emails are automated or something. got my sweet bogus check in the mail today. won't cash it, but am curious how the rest of the emails will go. some people are saying they have been threatened by the scammers.

Aug 04Reply

kristindaviss @t_shea you should have no problem I got the check and then made the connection that this was a scam, the only time you get in trouble is if you deposit it because the bank thinks you tried to scan them

And just an FYI AFTER I had done the deal with them, I read online that you shouldn't do outside transactions. I'm really worried now ☹️

canye_east @jasmine1218 I'm new to poshmark and was emailing this lady back and forth about an item i have up and she also said she was in the marines . she gave me an address and said she was gonna overnight the check to me , but now i don't know whether this is legit or not ... does anyone have any tips on how to figure out whether this is legit or not ??

Aug 08Reply

jasmine1218 @canye_east I am semi new but I wouldn't believe it I experienced the same thing and now I only sell on Poshmark. If you look at the profile and see if they had any experience that's what helps me. And if you screenshot the profile and then look them up again and can't find them it's a for sure scam and I only email to people on here if they have items in their closet and have sold before.

Aug 08Reply

canye_east @jasmine1218 okay . thank you !! I just emailed the lady and told her I don't wanna do business anymore and she hasn't responded , but me being a fucking dumbass , I gave them my info thinking everything was legit .....

srslyreid @msiegel23 is it along the lines of everything everyone is commenting? If so did you submit the check?

Aug 09Reply

srslyreid @msiegel23 oh no I am so sorry :( well I think that's about all you can do for now and hopefully your bank will understand and no money is taken from your account. Just make sure the whole situation is explained

Aug 09Reply

kcrzu3 @canye_east the same thing just happened to me. I started to get fishy so I did some research. Thank god I found this post. I messaged him back saying that Poshmark won't allow me to sell off the app and I apologize. Then I blocked his number so he couldn't contact me anymore. Only thing I'm worried about is that I gave him my address to send the check. I bet nothing will happen, but I'm glad I saw this post and was able to stop it before it did. I also reported his account and blocked him

Aug 09Reply

canye_east @kcrzu3 yessss !! i did the same thing after i found out , but i'm not too worried anymore cuz this isn't the first time a stranger has had my address . ( weird situation . ) if you get a check in the mail , just shred it !! i'm not too sure if i'm still gonna get a check in the mail . ( hopefully not . ) hope things go well for you and be sure to check out my closet too !! :)

Sep 08Reply

fdisbrow By the way, when you get scammers contacting you go to their page and report them. Click on the little "settings" icon in the top right hand corner on their page and click "report user" for conducting business outside PM. You can always tell its a scammer by going to their page and they won't have any "love notes" and won't have sent any "love notes". You can tell it's a BS account. Hope this doesn't happen to anyone else!

therewearaffair If it's too good to be true it usually is. People try to scam us everyday here on Poshmark. This sort of thing doesn't happen on eBay. Poshmark really needs to crack down on this to make sure Poshmark is a safe selling environment for all sellers. The 20% fee is a lot to ask from us sellers and they should have plenty of resources to fix this problem.

Sep 08Reply

fdisbrow @revabajjuri @rloyer520 Don't worry, they won't hurt you or kill you or your family, they will just move on to the next person & try to make easy scam money off of them. They just threaten people to scare them into going forward with the scam. They don't spend any extra time besides the time it takes to email/txt & then make $1000 scamming honest ppl. But don't be afraid, no one will be coming after you, I promise you this! My heart went out to you girls

akwink @nicoleealy how did you get purses stolen from you?

Sep 11Reply

nicoleealy @akwink sorry I didn't mean to ignore you. I had to go to the bank and I'm getting FBI involved bc I thought the check was clear from last wed and my bank tooked the money right back out and said it was a fake check!!! Me thinking stupid assuming the check was clear and I mailed out two purses the next day

Sep 11Reply

akwink @nicoleealy oh my goodness! Wow! I wouldn't even respond to them at this point. It's a shame they probably won't be able to catch the person. It's amazing how much fraud is going on. So scary! I'm sorry that happened!

jz_chi @spookykisses I just got the same email! It's my first day in Poshmark. I'm use to apps like letgo where it's common to get paid in cash or meet up with someone. I didn't think anything is right and sent over the information asked. Will everything be ok if I simply don't cash check

wesaychic & pick up the item at my house after I got the money from the check. I told them I didn't feel comfortable with that & what was their businesses name.

lhyn1400 Just went through the same thing. Got a message not even 10 seconds of posting my item. Wanted to know my lowest price and to email it to him. So I did. Got a long response about working overtime and just took his son to ER and now in ICU. At first, I felt bad but as I continue reading he became shady by offering more money and paying with certified bank check.

Sep 19Reply

lhyn1400 I never gave my info though. He never responded.

yssandrea This was very helpful THANK YOU! There is a individual reserving my item currently and commented a email address and to email him/her frederickzcs7@gmail.com then a saddlerhefleyc@gmail.com or "Joshua Smith" I have deleted my item twice and re listed, I researched the address and many poshers have been scammed with the emails listed above. I came across this scam alert and I was so thankful someone mentioned something about it, I almost fell for this scam! Thank You!

fashion1994 How do you block someone on Poshmark

Sep 28Reply

jungchick Yes, this happened to me before I sold on Poshmark. I was selling on Facebook and got the request for email. I received a check for 2,500. I knew immediately it was a scam and of course they wanted most of it back. I presented it to my back and they reported it to the Attorney general. Now, when I get these requests, I immediately take a screen shot. I block them and report them.

Oct 12Reply

jungchick @shandell_marie Don't send the item!!! If they want it they can purchase off Poshmark. I'm sorry that happened to you.

Oct 12Reply

jungchick @samedels Wow!!! I hope you reported them to the FBI. They're threatening to kill you? That's a federal crime because it's done over the Internet. Get a ppo. If they contact you again, they've violated the ppo and will be charged. They're already guilty of aggravated stalking. That's prison time.

helenchun Same thing happened to me last night (midnight). I did reach out to her telling her the merchandise was still available but nothing more. I wish I did not give out my email address, now this person has my full name and my email address. Here is the message I received: jenny_1–1 commented: “Hello I’m interested in it and I will like to know if you still have it available for sale ? kindly get back to me on mail cos I’m not always online here garcialee97 @ hotmail.com”

helenchun And here is via email: "Good morning i really appreciate your response cos have been waiting to hear back from you, actually am not around now i'm preparing for my sister's wedding so i will not be able to attend much to you but my assistant will get back to you i love the picture i saw on the PM as the price stated. I am ready to make instant purchase, my mode of payment would be a Certified Bank Check via Postal service Express mail or UPS delivery and shipping fund will be added.

Oct 12Reply

helenchun Kindly get back to me with your Full Name,Full mailing Address,Cell Phone Number and Agreed price to sell. As soon as this is provided, payment will be overnight to you and I will let you know once mailed out with tracking number sent to you.I will also add an additional $10 in order for you to hold it for me till the Check gets to you.Thanks and I hope we handle this in good faith while waiting to hear from you."

Oct 12Reply

helenchun Sorry for the long messages but the above 3 comment section shows what that scammer wrote. I just want everyone to be aware. I am a new seller so I ended up deleting my items for now. I admit I feel a bit discouraged since this person contacted me within 5 minutes after my very first posting.

She said "no need for questions" then I took it to the state police and they said it is a scam but once you catch them they'll leave u alone. NEVER DO BUISNESS OFF POSHMARK!!!!!!

Oct 27Reply

samedels @alefrida if they do anything, just ignore them. They are not going to come after you. They don’t live in the same country. I wouldn’t even bother bringing the check to the bank. Just hold on to it as evidence if something ever happens. Cease all communication with the scammer. They’ll try as hard as they can to get you to cash a bs check

Oct 30Reply

alefrida @samedels thank you so much!

Oct 30Reply

alefrida hey guys so I got the check yesterday and haven’t deposited it thanks to this post and my general common sense lol! FYI — her name was MARY PRIMM and her email is MARYPRIMM4@GMAIL.COM. The scammer told me she would send me a cashiers check plus offered 50 dollars extra to ‘seal the deal.’

Oct 30Reply

alefrida I didn’t think anything of it until the next day she sent me this HUGE and suuuuper confusing email regarding “payment” which essentially said that her accountant couldn’t make to separate checks and she was sending me a $2800 check??? She also told me to use the Walmart to Walmart transfer system to deposit the check???

Oct 30Reply

alefrida Lol #shady and when I said no she said there is always mobile deposit and she kept saying “pretty simple.” LOL. and then that’s when I found this post! just whatever you do— DONT DEPOSIT THE CHECK.

Dec 04Reply

tkay10 @jennihyatt I blocked their number and then the bank deducted the amount from my account because the check was fraudulent. I think the only thing to do is completely avoid working with anyone offline!! So scary/messed up!

I haven’t received the check but once i do I’ll give it to the bank telling them it’s fraud. I was new to poshmark and she made it seem like she was legitimate. It was only until i received an email saying how much the check was going to be that she’s sending that raised red flags. I’m happy i caught this before depositing the check.

Dec 20Reply

millsapa @teamteetat I would contact your bank and tell them you suspect it’s fraud. That’s what I did. I had already initiated the wire transfer but cancelled it immediately on a gut feeling. Dealing with my bank has given me peace of mind regarding.

Dec 20Reply

millsapa @traceynyc want to add Fred Howard and Jessica Scott....I got scammed and thankfully my gut feeling got me to cancel the wire transfer in enough time and get it refunded. The bank was very understanding and added the information from the fake check to their fraud list so hopefully this helps someone else

Dec 20Reply

millsapa And the Jessica Scott person, when I told her I had cancelled everything and my bank was handling it, actually tried to get me to send a cashiers check for the original amount of the check to “Katherine Huang” because she needed her money (that never existed in the first place) back immediately. I told her the bank would be handling all of our future transactions and all conversation stopped after that. So frustrating to deal with but thankful I caught everything in time.

kfashion21 @izzypikachu thank you so much for posting this!! I can’t thank you enough because I just posted some dresses yesterday one for $350 and another for $80 plus she wanted to give me $20 more. I was really hoping to sell the dresses because they are taking up space in my closet so I emailed her back (the one who wanted the $350 dress) agreeing and gave her my info, she said she will send me a check Tuesday but I have to delete the listing. She already deleted her comment to email me!

janauticathomas @millsapa omg I’m so thankful I ran across the post Fred recently just commented on my picture regarding my dress and ask me to email him. And I did. But I talked to my mom about the email he sent back and she told me that it was a scam. And also another person recently commented and asked me to email her. And said they would pay via check. I feel like that’s another scammer 🤦🏾‍♀️

Dec 31Reply

millsapa @janauticathomas yeah I would go ahead and assume anyone offering you a check is another scammer. I’m lucky that I listened to my gut because I had already initiated the wire transfer but was able to cancel it almost immediately. Just goes to show if it sounds sketchy, it probably is.
