I had a who responded to my coach purse and stated she was at work and to email her at jessicadonald001@gmail.com. This was the reply. So this is the first time I have got a scammer on Poshmark. Just watched out for this email .

lavenderblues Wish you could enlarge pics on here that drives me nuts. Idk why they don't fix that. I can't see a thing

Aug 06Reply

designerattire @lavenderblues they should be able to enlarge on here. Just be careful of scammers. First time this has happened to me

Aug 07Reply

lisalandish I had the exact thing happen to me on Friday of this week. My Daughter was with me and said "MOM this is such a scam!" This is the whole Nigeria money scam but with very high end purses. WOW was she right. Same person! She gave me the line that she was at work and wanted me to e-mail her too. My Daughter's husband is a Police officer and he said with all of that information that she requested from you, if provided would be financial/Identity theft and more!

Aug 10Reply

designerattire @lisalandish It had a red flag once I got the response from the person. I am glad your daughter noticed it. Poshmark has to warn Sellers about these incidents.

Aug 10Reply

lisalandish I received another scam post on a high end Coach item requesting information Again. I will fill you in on the new name.

designerattire @lisalandish I am sure there is a organized group more then 1 person who is doing this

Aug 12Reply

lisalandish None of these people are alone. They are cowards whom want to send their own currier to your physical address and rob you blind or worse. They will take anything that can be sold on the black market. Including children. My daughters husband is reporting this to his Sargent. It is a start.

Aug 12Reply

designerattire @lisalandish that is very scary. Glad your daughter husband is reporting this.

Aug 12Reply

lisalandish I may need your permission to let the investigative team contact you only on posh. They are from Fresno PD. My daughter said the letter posted would be just perfect. Did you speak with them on the phone at all? That would be a number we would be critical if you had phone ID. I will keep in touch.

Aug 12Reply

designerattire @lisalandish yes I will be fine in corporating with the investigation. I have the email from what the person sent.

jamie121323 This look too much like Craigslist scams from outside of the country. I am literally sick and tired of new Indian IRS scams. They call me from different number. Ughh!!

Aug 28Reply

designerattire @jamie121323 It is very annoying. I get calls from fake IRS with Indian accent all the time too.

Aug 28Reply

jamie121323 I hardly ever understand them. LOL! I always tell them to try harder next time. My husband got on the phone and messed around with them for 2 hour straight on the phone. They said I owe $1000 and my husband said he would send them 1000Rupee which is $15!!! Lmao

Aug 28Reply

designerattire @jamie121323 lol too funny. They are doing everything to steal our identity.

Aug 28Reply

jamie121323 Yeah, my husband also said he was Obama and they didn't know who Obama was. Lmao!! They are literally too stupid to think we are gonna fall for it!

gracevanney @designerattire thank you for sharing this information, I'm new to Posh and as soon as I posted some pricey items these people were asking me to email or text them, I suppose they also try to find rookies, but I just responded to one of them and called her out, she was asking for so much personal information it's scary, I hope someone can do something about it and people stay informed to not fall for these scams, again thank you so very much! 🙏🏻

Sep 27Reply

designerattire @gracevanney Welcome to Posh. It is very sad when people will take advantage of other people on here. These scammers need to be caught and everyone on Posh should be aware. I was very upset when I got this and you should be too.

huntresss Thanks for posting this! She just asked me to email her... Crazy scammers!

designerattire @huntresss Your welcome. Poshmark should try to find these scammers. They should not get away with it.

designerattire @tmartin4149 It sad that there are scammers everywhere

Mar 03Reply

skittlesnjack This is all so scary!! I have had a few people ask me to email them about an item and then give some excuse as to why they can't buy on here. Sometimes less than ten minutes later their comment will be deleted so it only makes sense that they've deleted their entire account. It's very scary and I do feel as though it's a group of people scamming or trying to. I haven't replied to these people lately other than occasionally saying I only sell through poshmark.

Apr 03Reply

skittlesnjack @lisalandish did anything ever happen with the investigation? Or just another internet scam?

Apr 03Reply

lisalandish This was reported to Poshmark, and they did post a SCAM WARNING, but that does not mean it is not still going on right now. Just be careful, and do not trade off line or conduct in person business, give your phone number or personal e-mail out to those whom make offers or comments on an item. That's the follow up for now. If any new SCAM comes up I will keep posting. Thanks for your follow up❤️.

Apr 03Reply

violetcakes Happened twice to me. Nigerian scammers! The request for contact by email and the payment by check is a red flag. They may claim hearing impairment so you can't call. They love to use the at work excuse and niece's wedding - need it right away- will pay extra. Please be vigilant. Block and report!

littlebit986 Do not buy anything from this lady @pinetreeparadis She will lie to you and waist your time. i inquired about an item she had listed for months i asked if she could let me know asap since i was under a time constraint. she said she had to check with her husband to see if she could sell it and told me to give her 3 hours to give me an answer. well that answer never came, she never bothered to respond. she deleted the listing, i reported it to posh. she probably never even had the ring.

Sep 07Reply

designerattire @littlebit986 thanks in letting me know. I am sorry in what you went with another posher.

Sep 07Reply

littlebit986 @designerattire thank you! its really frustrating to have to deal with stuff like this, I wish they had strikes against people like this and those who are known to be scammers

Sep 07Reply

designerattire @littlebit986 I wish they had that to. There are very good poshers out there like you and me. They should of strikes for people who scam people.

Sep 07Reply

littlebit986 @designerattire yup! Maybe know say. She just wasted my time! It really is a cold world out here’

Sep 07Reply

designerattire @littlebit986 That is a disgrace for someone to waste your time. I know myself when people have questions I usually responded quickly to them if I am home or give them a time that I will be back home and answer the question of the item. I know we are all busy. But that is not right of someone to waste your time when you are interested in a item. Yes the world is cold. But the best thing is he around people who are positive and lift you up.

Sep 07Reply

littlebit986 @designerattire you are absolutely right! And thank you. That last part is golden!

lisalandish @abbeylodgek Good morning, Yes indeed this happened personally to me. My daughters husband transferred to Detective with another agency. I have not been contacted ever from Fresno PD.

kiaracol20 @vinnymartino it’s a scam the same thing happened to me yesterday. I marked them as spam. Why would they give a extra $50. And they told me to delete my post for my sale. I was like nope. And clearly they don’t live in the states. Why did they ask for my address and phone number to send me a so called check. I was like nope. Talking about they will have someone pick up the coach wallet from me lol that’s not how this site works! And they deleted their posh mark account after I emailed them.

Jun 04Reply

kiaracol20 @vinnymartino Me not knowing any better into now! Never give out your address, phone number or email especially not to anyone for and from this site. The site already has guidelines and rules. We don’t have to talk to sellers or buyers outside of this app for our safety!

acbellashop OMG!! I am new to poshmark and just posted my first items to sell in my closet. I was surprised right away there are two ppl contacted me and said to text them. I was skeptical about it right away. One of the buyer said out of state at her daughter’s wedding but will instruct secretary to mail me a bank cashier check. I went and googled bout other scam buyer stories and found this post. This is scary!!! O just want to sell and make legit business here!! 🤦🏻‍♀️

Sep 03Reply

designerattire @acbellashop when anyone ask for them to email them outside of posh or text them it is a scam. There are many honest buyers and sellers out here. But if it sounds to good to be true and if you listed your item and a minutes time and you get a response from someone for them to email you. They are scammers. Best of luck on your posh closet. It is a great way to make money.

palman1111 @designerattire A similar thing happened to me on Craigslist. Some one want me to go on some google site and enter this code they sent me. Of course I didn’t and found out later these types of scams are geared to taking over your smartphone. They are some how able to then view stuff on your phone. So be careful out there. 🌹

Sep 09Reply

designerattire @mepasq123 oh wow that is extremely scary. I did not hear about that in what they want to take over your smartphone phone. I have had that on Facebook selling sites and on Craigslist. Scammers are everywhere unfortunately

I warned her about a possible scam, and I reported the account to Poshmark as someone requesting a transaction outside of Poshmark. Thank you for posting this example. I am going to share this with her.

kayeverett1 @urbtkfriend I just got a check today for $1150 for a $100 pair of boots. Going to tear up the check or might save it to report scam! I gave out my phone number & address. So stupid, but I’m new to this and had no idea it was scammers! I also blocked them. Mine was from a California bank. When he would email me, at the end he works always say, God Bless You. Big red flag.

Dec 10Reply

barrazaworld @kayeverett1 this also happened to me ! I was so close to giving my information as well but I had a strong gut feeling and didn’t

Dec 14Reply

zdgg0723 Omg this happened to me almost got lured.

Dec 20Reply

frenchgw How do I report these people? It is sad that literally EVERY posher seller has experienced these scammers and nothing is ever done about it. I think I am going to delete this app entirely

Dec 22Reply

designerattire @frenchgw I am really not sure how Poshmark report scammers. Unfortunately people scam on many different sites unfortunately.

still_there There is a seller that says she has people's identities and has been accused of selling fake items not as pictured,then blocks the person when confronted about it...

Dec 29Reply

still_there I have seen other accounts with her photo and she allegedly refuses to refund for the fake item prior to passing off her buyer and then blocking them.

Dec 29Reply

designerattire @still_there oh wow that is terrible

Dec 29Reply

still_there @designerattire she just scammed someone by selling her most expensive item...an imitation of a bag that wasn't as pictured. She refused to refund it and said she wasn't responsible, then she blocked him. You could ask him.

Dec 29Reply

designerattire @still_there that is crazy. Poshmark needs to have a fraud department so it won’t happen

Dec 29Reply

still_there @designerattire it's our word against hers. She used to be employed as a manager to a residence where unwanted employees could open doors and enter rooms. I'm missing things like a Ralph Lauren micromink blanket and I would not be surprised if she put it for sale on this. She is crazy

Dec 29Reply

designerattire @still_there that is very sad person to do that. Maybe file a small claims complaint against her.

Dec 29Reply

still_there @designerattire I have tried to have her served with civil court papers and she was evasive twice.. She was the one responsible for all of my money being withheld fraudulently and I have to keep trying.. sad is right!

Dec 29Reply

designerattire @still_there very sorry you are going through this. So many dishonest people :(

Dec 29Reply

still_there @designerattire yes. People like her don't care who they do what to. Be careful of a profile that's set up without a meet the posher listing

Dec 29Reply

designerattire @still_there never heard of meet the posher listing

Dec 29Reply

still_there @designerattire I hate seeing her do it to other people, like those love notes that I think she could have sent to herself

Dec 29Reply

still_there @designerattire the one that says not for sale that appears when you initially make an account. Meet your posher other... That isn't there, probably so people couldn't send her comments about some of the things she did

Dec 29Reply

still_there It's odd the way one love note to her looks a lot like her, I don't know

Dec 29Reply

still_there the location she's using is quite far away from our local area. Maybe it's not real or she could have a PO box there for this

Dec 29Reply

still_there I don't know but this is why we need to be cautious.

Dec 29Reply

designerattire @still_there yes whenever someone wants to buy off a selling site you know it is a scam

Dec 29Reply

still_there I think you know too when other people directly tell them she didn't sell original items and they don't have any receipt and refuse to refund even after they offered to mail it back, like I've seen.. she has over a thousand items for sale currently.

Dec 29Reply

still_there @designerattire she couldn't produce a receipt for one item that was "purchased from a reputable store"

Dec 29Reply

still_there @designerattire one of the love notes was from a suspicious account @ tvassilev that photo is most likely her with sunglasses on.. there are a lot of shortcomings.. be extremely careful of any account with a photo that resembles that

Dec 29Reply

designerattire @still_there ok thank you

ktaylor40s Hello I am new to this site, is it normal to be ask to give my name and address and they will send me payment and once I cash it then to ship and they will add extra 50.00??? Just doesn’t sound right someone please advise

Jan 04Reply

designerattire @ktaylor40s no it is not normal at all. It would be like going to a store and the customer saying that to retail worker. They are scammers. Ignore all of them and report them. Take a screen shot like I did and share it.

mirage50230 I just posted two high end dresses, but I went through with the sending of the fake checks so I could bring them into the police. 4 different accounts with the same picture inquired about one of the dresses and I recorded each one. Poshmark doesn't seem to have near as much security as Letgo or eBay, this is bordering on dangerous

Jan 07Reply

designerattire @mirage50230 it really is. eBay or letgo would flag or would be aware of any situation so quickly poshmark not so much

daniberni @designerattire I’m new to this site as well... is anyone asking to talk via email a scam??

sunshinehr Help.. I replayed with my information.. what should I do? I didn’t know about this scam I am new to Poshmark.

designerattire @sunshinehr what information did you give? Never email anyone off a selling site.

Jan 20Reply

sunshinehr @designerattire my name address and phone number.. should I call my police dept for protect from robbery??

Jan 20Reply

sunshinehr @designerattire I thought they were on the site.. new to this who thing.

Jan 20Reply

designerattire @sunshinehr I would contact the police. But for scammers they are more into anything bank related.

Jan 20Reply

sunshinehr @designerattire they didn’t ask me for that.. so I didn’t give it.. what should I tell my police??

Jan 20Reply

designerattire @sunshinehr I think the police really could not do anything. Pretty much someone who is scamming is not near where you live and live across country. Yes it is scary at first. I was in your shoes when this happened to me. These scammers scam 100 people or more a day. All they are looking for is a bank account.

Jan 20Reply

sunshinehr @designerattire okay.. thank you for the advice.

Jan 20Reply

designerattire @sunshinehr your welcome. I do live selling on here. But I have learned also that it is a scam When anyone wants to speak to you through email and not on here directly. Keep poshing :)

Jan 20Reply

designerattire @nothing4meever you are so right. Any outlet now people are trying scam. Sorry you went through in trying to list and someone was doing this. Glad you are mindful and you can see it was a scam.

Jan 23Reply

bellaxsadie @designerattire thank you for spreading awareness through your post! i might have emailed this person and it could have gone bad.

Jan 23Reply

designerattire @bellaxsadie your welcome. When I first started it happened to me and I had to spread the word. Because what those people are doing is wrong and it is not fair as us sellers to be targeted.

charleevollmer So I had this happen and I responded with my email and address and such.. when the ‘check’ gets here, do I just bring it to the police? What can they do with it? Should I be worried about being robbed or killed or something?

Jan 25Reply

designerattire @charleevollmer sorry that you had this happen. I honestly believe these scammers would not send a check or they do not even live near us where we live in the country. I would take it to the police and see what they would say. But I even think the police could not do anything unless they had evidence of anything to harm you. Poshmark needs to have more control of this. But my own rule of thumb if it does not sound right I will not respond and never respond off site.

Jan 25Reply

cbchou @designerattire why would anyone be writing to someone’s email. All transactions would be kept through Poshmark

Jan 25Reply

designerattire @cbchou yes exactly. No one should be trying to write a email off poshmark. But so many scammers do this to people which is not right at all.

But now I’m afraid now that they have my info. They called me from this number 413-758-0780

Feb 06Reply

hsimplyposh It should be a red flag when a scammer wants your personal information, to sell outside of poshmark? Here is my suggestion, give a name, first name should only be a letter with any last name, i.e.( P. SMITH )provide the address of a POLICE PRECINCT AND their phone number. (You can also report certain types of scams and fraud to federal enforcement agencies. ) This will no doubt send a clear message to the scammer. There's no FREE lunch!

jenn_aaaaa @lisalandish Hi, I had two people tell me to email them and since it was my first time doing poshmark, I did and I followed through with everything when the check came I told my mom and she said it seemed off so I went to the bank and told them what happened, you say that they can steal your identity. I'm scared now, can you help?

All communications will be within POSHMARK, visible to ALL, with the exception of a private offer.

designerattire @goaheadshop You did the right thing in replying. Yes the scammers want you to email so they can get your information.

Feb 28Reply

hsimplyposh Thanks for your quick response, I am however confused, this person is a POSHER, representing POSHMARK? Or?

Feb 28Reply

designerattire @goaheadshop no this person is probably not a buyer or seller on poshmark. It is someone who creates fake accounts and names and try’s to scam people.

Feb 28Reply

hsimplyposh Heads Up on people who just opened an Poshmark account as in this case, (About @dfdfr5454 Posher since Feb 2020) and send out messages to go outside of Poshmark. I would call this a potential phishing scam! I can only suggest to everyone to check out their closet. Thanks again.

ranjen617 Just saw a pile of these on Movado watch listings. Sellers are falling for it as well, unfortunately.

Mar 01Reply

designerattire @ranjen617 poshmark needs to be held accountable. They need to tell sellers about scammers. I am in what I shared about the email that I got and it is showing up for people to be aware. But Poshmark is where we list and sell and they need to have a section of people being fraudulent.

Mar 01Reply

ranjen617 @designerattire I totally agree with you. I just went online and found some more and shared those as well. It's terrible over on the watches. Not to mention I'm pretty hot about having to wait two weeks on a fake Dooney I received the other day. Seller tried to turn it around on me. Didn't work, but PM in return has me to return to seller. If you could only see the pics of it, total fake and she can relist. Found a few soldier uniforms on here with brass still on them.

Mar 01Reply

ranjen617 @designerattire Ran out of space. lol. They need to have us to send these items straight to them for them to authenticate and decide to slow the fake trade and govt issued uniforms out.

Mar 01Reply

designerattire @ranjen617 sorry about the fake Dooney. I know eBay has a a section and would unlist a item if they know it is fake. Poshmark is not so much. Uniforms what kind of uniforms?

Mar 01Reply

ranjen617 @designerattire Yes. Thing is the seller only lives maybe 40 minutes away from me as well. Ugh. I'll watch for it to relist to save another. Yes, they do have departments that help. I'm going to use my safer method of paying from now on. Army and Air Force uniforms on here. I'm a child and gf of soldiers and asked about them, they said all patches must be off. Not the case here though. Patches and medals are a direct violation Wang I'm thinking names as well, I'd have to ask about those.

That is when I read relatable scams that offered 50$ to "hold" and item. I responded with my info as not to lose the sale before findint these artivles. ugh, I cahnged my passwprds etc. I send "her" a responce politely declining the sale and told "her" that I was not taking cashiers checks. Thoughts?

I just want to make sure I’m ignoring a scammer and not a buyer.

designerattire @amanda_vrabel12 yes if people say they want to give you money to hold a item. It is a scam. If someone really wants it they will buy it.

libra2626 ALRIGHT im kind of freaking out here. I got a similar email for my Gucci scarf. And her “check” to me is already on the way, she sent me the tracking. What should I do about this?

Jul 19Reply

heathereberger @kendallhackler ok thx! I can’t even find them on the site now

Jul 19Reply

libra2626 @heathereberger same! Idk what to do about this!! The person mailing the check to me is on its way already?!

Jul 19Reply

designerattire @mfarrr032 please never talk outside of poshmark. It is usually a scam. Be mindful and just think rationally. If I was at a retail store would I email out. Probably not right.

Jul 19Reply

heathereberger @mfarrr032 do not cash it. Report to FTC. Also Change all your passwords to everything.

Jul 19Reply

libra2626 @yazmindelara what ended up happening when the check came??

Jul 19Reply

libra2626 @saritaesco06 what did you end up doing? Im kind of in a similar situation rn

Jul 19Reply

libra2626 @designerattire true!!

Jul 19Reply

libra2626 @heathereberger long story short she sent $1200 instead of $160 and im supposed to send the rest of $1040 excluding my product price to her daughter with her purchase. Idk what to do honestly. What do i do with the check? And what if she ends up reporting me for keeping her check??

Jul 19Reply

heathereberger @mfarrr032 I just Watched a YouTube on this. Don’t cash it bc it’s fake and the money will be taken from your account when the check is found to be fraudulent. Call the bank where the check is from. And don’t cash. Did she tell you she was going to send you that much?? Idk what to do.

Jul 19Reply

libra2626 @heathereberger okay i’ll make sure to call the bank once I receive the check. I listed my Gucci scarf for $110 that i apparently had to ship to her daughter. But then she said she also sent her daughter’s monthly money in the same check by mistake so now i have to ship her daughter the scarf and her share from $1200. It’s nuts lol

Jul 19Reply

heathereberger @mfarrr032 it’s totally screwed up. They said they were sending it out Monday. I said sale cancelled don’t even send me that check. Hopefully they got the message that I caught on to their scam.

Jul 19Reply

libra2626 @heathereberger 🙏🏻🙏🏻 hopefully!! It was my first sale and i was mad excited im just scared now lol

Jul 19Reply

heathereberger @mfarrr032 honestly they are criminals They aren’t going to report you. They may call you a bunch but just block them. But Also I’m scared too. I Can’t stop looking up stuff. I’m Embarrassed that I fell for this

Jul 19Reply

designerattire @mfarrr032 it is a scam. If anyone wants to buy the item they can do it through poshmark

Jul 19Reply

Jul 28Reply

ardenisab @highskies0 im just scared because they try to scammer me to , and when i read your comment i was like what?😫Are they dangerous ? Because they have my information I didn’t know they are fake, Also i write them email and i told them i will report you to the police and they didn’t write me anything after that .

Jul 28Reply

highskies0 @ardenisab Do not conduct any business off of Poshmark, Even if they ask you to refuse every single time and only sell stuff through this platform do not exchange information or talk thru email or phone. I understand that the Poshmark fees can be a lot but you pay for the safety and assurance.

Jul 28Reply

highskies0 @ardenisab Unfortunately what is done is done just take this as a learning lesson to never do this again. I never suggest giving out your address because I have been told that human traffickers will use whatever social media platform they can for targeting victims. And besides that people are always trying to scam people for money. If anybody is demanding more information from you that is immediately a red flag. If anybody asks me to do business off of Poshmark I instantly blocked them.

Jul 28Reply

ardenisab @highskies0 thank you so much for the information They have my information the name and dhe adrs But i told them i will report at the police and the didn’t write me anythhing else after that ! And know I don’t wanted to sell anything at poshmar because im scared lol , and i do not trust anybody for that ! Thank you again

ceecee6408 please be aware of @kiana4670965. This is a scam. she wanted to take the transaction off poshmark and pay by "cashier's check." she said her husband's secretary will pay for it. and for me to please take the listing down asap so she can reserve it. she asked for my phone number and address, but never gave hers. this is super sketchy and reminds me of another form scam email i found on poshmark. i blocked and reported her.

oliviaw2 Oh wow, I received a similar comment on one of my post this week..how sad and scary! Thank you for bringing awareness to this, your post actually showed up when I googled Poshmark scammers. I definitely felt like the persons comment on my post was a red flag, after they commented, i immediately went to their profile and the person uploaded a fake image off of google for their profile pic, and had random images of clothes that were most likely google images as well .

Aug 05Reply

designerattire @oliviaw2 it is very scary and I am very glad that you have found my post of scammers beware. As sellers and buyers we have to all think logical. Does this sound right of someone wanting to take business off another site? If anyone really wanted to buy a item they would submit a offer and not want someone to email offline. We all have to be aware and protect ourselves.

Aug 10Reply

designerattire @mars0502 you have to ignore completely when “so called people” stating they want to buy and email them back. They are scammers. Just like we get calls on our phone from scammers. Do not respond back. Ignore. That’s my advice.

Aug 10Reply

mars0502 @designerattire yes, as soon as I realized there were 3 similar comments for me to email. I got weirded out. so I knew not to email them or anything, especially since I was already cautious about using my personal email out there.

lemonflamingo @sarahpereira977 omg no what they are looking for is personal info if they can get it for scams but this particular one is a scam where they’ll tell you they’ll give u 50$ for something but they want to meet up and send you 800$ n u keep extra 50 for your troubles and give our shipping agent the other 700.....it’s a way to hide $$ going places they don’t want it tracked

gypsysoul92 The same thing just happened to me. It was an “older lady” that acted like she didn’t know how to use the app. I was dumb enough to give out my info. Then, I started getting worried when she said she would have her movers come and pick it up. I told her I would rather her just buy it on Poshmark. She then said she would not send a check, since I didn’t accept her offer. I’m definitely freaking out someone is going to show up at my house.

beansgallery So if I’m interested in an item and the seller says to message them via iMessage is that a scam?

Oct 30Reply

designerattire @smarie_dtn yes, you should always talk to the buyer or seller through poshmark. When you go off the site the person can try to get information from you and on her Poshmark can document the conversation.

Oct 30Reply

beansgallery @designerattire so I was interested in these slides and she said to text her and she saying that she does google pay and now I’m hesitant

Oct 30Reply

beansgallery Bc she send me the email and the names don’t match up

Oct 30Reply

designerattire @smarie_dtn because if she wants you to text her and can not make business through poshmark it is a red flag. I have many people do that when I list on OfferUp. People are trying to get information from you. If they really want to sell a item buy a item you do it through the app and never off line through a text or a email.

Oct 30Reply

beansgallery @designerattire thank you so much I blocked them on everything

yesilavin @kandyk372 i don’t understand either. Idk what they can do with a physical address although it’s scary for someone to know your address (but it’s googable anyways) - my advice is to keep reporting them. If you cash the check it’ll come back to you Bc it’s fraud. I called the companies on the check and they verified to me the check was fraud. Still don’t understand how it benefits the scammer. But 🤷‍♀️

After they send the check and they ask me if I received it I send them a message saying they’re being reported for fraud and they suddenly disappear 😂 I just hope that every time I spend messing with them, it’s taking away time from them actually scamming someone. You have to be a low life to scam someone especially during a pandemic...

cinnashop @l0velyadriana If you communicated through them on gm@il you can report their account for fraud and gm@il will launch an investigation. I reported a few already and their accounts were shut down.

malshimommy there are scammers like the posting similar messages on poshmark listings for LV, Chanel, Gucci, all kinds of designer brands. it's always someone wanting to be contacted outside of posh and I see tons of them on accounts that are selling tons of LV knockoffs. I hope posh actually does something with law enforcement to help stop it.

Nov 28Reply

designerattire @malshimommy i agree. Now I have poshmark given me notifications of what is knockoff and what is not by my own approval. I should get paid by poshmark. I know what is fake and what is a scam a mile away and poshmark needs to have more security of what people post and have more filters.

Nov 28Reply

malshimommy @designerattire it seems like other users are the ones who review listings that are reported, so I wonder if posh does anything to stop it.

cinnashop @faega if you communicated with them through email report them for fraud & if the check comes just rip it up and throw it away. they won’t do anything with your address because they live in Nigeria. If you have any other issues let me know I know a lot about these scumbags.

If you recieve any checks from them, just cut it and throw it.

Dec 19Reply

cinnashop @faega I’m not sure how to do it on yahoo but I would google “how to report a yahoo account for fraud.” Google has a form you fill out to report them. & yeah I’ve been in contact with more than 5 of them and they all use VPN’s to make it seem like they live in the states but they don’t.

Dec 19Reply

cinnashop @faega I convinced 3 of them to send me a pic from their phone and it shows they live in Nigeria. I think some of them live in India too. Don’t worry they won’t do anything with your address, they only need it to send you the fake check.

sonoio @still_there

Dec 23Reply

sonoio Oops sorry. I posted a reply when I just meant to scroll & continue reading this thread. If you’re worried that they have your name & address, don’t worry. They just want money. The scam: when you agree to cash their generous check and give your item away. After you give your item to the scammer you learn from your bank that the cashiers check is forged. The (fake) $1,000 check they sent for your $400 purse and the $500 cash you gave to their delivery person is their goal.

Dec 23Reply

sonoio Also if you deposited the check it will bounce. It’s fake. Don’t spend a dime. The worst thing is a bank fee for the bounced check. Don’t give them your item, don’t give their delivery person a dime. They will move on. If you gave them your item and cash for the overpaid check, you lost to the scammers. Report scammers to PM

giascloset863 @_jennychuuu yes I did unfortunately. I had no idea it was a scam I thought they just made a mistake I’m super new to poshmark

Jan 10Reply

_jennychuuu @giascloset863 I’m so sorry that happened to you! :( it sucks that people do this! If you sent them your address and phone number they can’t really do anything with that information so you should be fine! Did you happen to deposit the check to your bank account? This happened to me before where I did deposit a check and I just called my bank to let them know it was an act of fraud! Basically your bank will just cancel the card or account and you can open a new one! :)

nancceeyy Hi, I actually had something similar happen to me today. Fortunately I figured it was a scam. I did take screenshots of these interactions and would definitely be willing to share these.

Jan 11Reply

designerattire @nancceeyy yes please share them. Glad you were aware it was a scam.

Jan 12Reply

ivansell I just got the same email with just a different email this is just insane. Honestly if I wouldn’t have seen this I would have totally fallen for it. Poshmark has to do something about this scammers!

Jan 14Reply

designerattire @ivansell Poshmark should do something. Since I have posted this on here so many people have been asking me in what to do. Honestly I wanted to be aware. But people who work for poshmark need to have a higher level of security of notification of people pretending to be someone else. It is ridiculous. Glad you did fall for it and glad my post helped you.

Jan 14Reply

maci_tonn I just got on Poshmark 2 days ago and have already fell for two scams because I was unaware... the thing that scares me the most is that I have out my address to unknown people. So sad!😞@designerattire

Jan 15Reply

camz333 @maci_tonn @designerattire i’ve been poshmarking for a while and unfortunately fell for one of these scams and they have my name and address; luckily i used a textfree number. My gut was telling me something was wrong I should have listened but thank you for this super informative post! I blocked and reported the user on my latest Tsumori Chisato dress listing and also reported the interaction to the FTC.

Jan 15Reply

miche12 @ktaylor40s this happened to me too!!! I gave my address and number and they want me to deposit the check when is sent to me before I send the item. Do not write back!! I’m new here too and responded and now I’m find this funny.

Jan 15Reply

hailsxdoh I just got one of these comments on my post, glad I saw this 😭

keyseremily01 @lacubana9 I have the same thing happening to me right now :( did you sell it to them?

Jan 16Reply

keyseremily01 hi everyone I need help :( I’m new to poshmark and I have been receiving these comments to email people ( I figured it was a scam so I didn’t ) and now one of them bought 4 of my bras ( look on my page!) and I’m soooo worried that this could be some weirdo or something :( I don’t know whether or not this is an authentic buyer ! can someone help me please!

Jan 16Reply

keyseremily01 @maci_tonn what happened :( I’m new here too and trying to sell and I am so worried because someone just bought my bras I posted yesterday and it looks like another weird account but idk :(

Jan 16Reply

keyseremily01 is there any way for this person I sell to too get all of my information or scam me of my bras? or anything weird :( or should I just cancel it ? anyone help me please!

Jan 16Reply

gloss_71 I am new to PM and already got 4 scam messages from people who want to give me more $ than asking, they'll send a check etc. I feel so dumb but I gave the first one my address and #. When I figured out it was a scam, I told them to forget it, and they sent a msg with a weird phrase that included "kill you there." I am scared and also so mad. I've been contacted by more scammers than regular people! I want to quit and feel like the work I have done so far to make a nice closet has been a waste.

Jan 17Reply

designerattire @gloss_71 do not give up. You do not want these people to make you scared or for you to give up. Then you are letting them win. There are many good people who buy in here and sell on here like myself. If it sounds too good to be true and they want to make a transaction off the site. Ignore them and report them to poshmark. Also someone trying to scare you. They can really not do to much to you.

Jan 17Reply

gloss_71 @designerattire thank you for the kind words and encouragement!

Jan 17Reply

designerattire @gloss_71 your very welcome. We are all here for each other. There is always a few bad apples. But as a whole we can make one delicious apple pie. Just keep posting and sharing and if someone does say they want a item and buy it off line. Just say to them I do my business on poshmark and then repair them.

Jan 17Reply

kathykgl @miche12 did anything happen??? This JUST now happened to me and I’m afraid someone is going to show up at my house !!

Jan 18Reply

miche12 @kathykgl yes! It happened to me a couple of days ago and I was afraid about someone coming to my house too.. but, I believe the email might have been someone from a different country.. who knows.. I was reading the details on the comments. But, as long as u didn’t deposit any check or wrote back to the emails you’ll be fine. Our addresses are always being sent out to strangers from package we order and other carriers. But, you have nothing to worry about. This was a lesson learned.

Jan 18Reply

marji3 Thank you!! I just encountered this with an item I posted.

Jan 18Reply

cbyers456 I also just had this happen to me. I guess I am way too trusting and I took the check to my bank and had it checked for fraud. It was definitely counterfeit. Is there anyone who knows how I can report this so I can do my part in not letting it happen to another person?

Jan 19Reply

msamah Wow this just happened to me as well. Told my husband I was excited that I finally made a sale but my instinct kept on telling that the email is too good to be true, I had to do my research on posh scammers goggled if “poshmark customers would request an email from a seller” while reading it lead me to your page. Thanks for the insight. Just wow!!! Now I’m worried cos I actually trusted the scammer and let out my information.

Jan 19Reply

pbrown107 @designerattire thank you! that's what I thought

Jan 20Reply

annabelle702 I’m interested in purchasing some shoes, but the seller has it noted in the comments “CONTACT ME BEFORE YOU BUY” with his contact number. Isn’t it fishy since the transactions should be made through Poshmark?

Jan 23Reply

designerattire @annabelle702 yes it is fishy and you need to report him to poshmark

Jan 24Reply

annabelle702 @designerattire will do.. thank you!

Jan 24Reply

aghu @cbyers456 I fell for this scam today and haven’t gotten checks yet but now I’m too scared to go home. Should I be worried about my safety at home or is it just to steal the item?

Jan 26Reply

softclothing I just got one of those emails on one of my posts.

Jan 27Reply

sandyiii_ @lisalandish they can take your identity

Jan 27Reply

paige__cole @kiaracol20 This same thing happened to me yesterday for an apple watch and i gave them my name, phone number, email and address because they said they were sending me a check and now i’m worried because i genuinely thought this was an order woman who doesn’t understand how to work poshmark and a check/email would be easier for her but it’s definitely a scam now that i’m reading all of this. Im kinda scared for my safety

Jan 27Reply

cbyers456 @aghu I think it’s just to steal your money and then you’re the one who is left screwed having to pay it all back. You didn’t already send the item, did you?

Jan 28Reply

caramacy @violetcakes hello, can you tell me what to do if my daughter fell fir this and gave out personal information?

Jan 29Reply

caramacy @paige__cole I just did the same and now don’t know what to do!

Jan 29Reply

violetcakes Any off Poshmark transaction offers zero protection for the seller and scammers know that. Report anyone trying to slip in their email to Poshmark, block them, and if your daughter has already interacted with them, don't hesitate to consult with the police. Good luck!

Jan 29Reply

csparks1224 @violetcakes so I purchased a LV and soon as the offer was submitted the closet now says on vacation. Did I just get scammed? Then I purchased a Pandora and realized it’s like ten of the same one on here with different names. What is going on? Poshmark used to be better than this.

Jan 31Reply

violetcakes @csparks1224 That sounds fishy...I'd cancel the sale for the LV....😔

Feb 01Reply

luscious_create yes guys please be careful! this happened to me today with 3 people. Their main focus is on designer items.

Feb 01Reply

csparks1224 @violetcakes it’s beyond the three days...I tried to reach out to them to cancel

Feb 01Reply

csparks1224 I mean 3 hours

Feb 01Reply

csparks1224 @luscious_create right every other listing has been a scam lately

Feb 01Reply

csparks1224 @designerattire right I’m tempted to delete poshmark after the repeated scams lately

Feb 01Reply

violetcakes @csparks1224 sorry to hear that, I'd open a case with Poshmark. I just bought a bag that looked great in every photo because it was tightly stuffed with tissue. When I got it it was floppy like a used condom! I opened a case and Poshmark ruled in her favor. I am so pissed off!

Feb 01Reply

csparks1224 @violetcakes that’s crazy...after I get this resolved I’m deleting posh

Feb 01Reply

map914 Same here!🤬

Feb 04Reply

aishelleostrea this happened to me just now and I ended up giving them my info because I thought they were a legit buyer. I’m new to poshmark and never thought about scam buyers. I’m scared for the safety of my kids now that I have given them my information 😢😢😢

Feb 06Reply

aishelleostrea @gisselle_rdz please let me know what happened to you when you gave out your info. I gave out my info to someone I thought would legit buy my product and now I’m scared

Feb 06Reply

himanshi97 It’s still happening, I was just scammed for two of my postings

Feb 07Reply

designerattire @himanshi97 sad this is happening in a lot platforms

Feb 07Reply

poshboxparadise @designerattire so I am so naive I fell for this. I sent my address and she said the same thing but was desperate to have it. What do they do with my information? Makes me so nervous. I can’t believe I fell for it.

Feb 09Reply

poshboxparadise @aishelleostrea I just started on the weekend and I fell for it too. I feel scared I gave my address too. I am so nervous too.

Feb 09Reply

poshboxparadise @csparks1224 I am so nervous because I am new and fell for it. It’s so sad that people do this to innocent sellers.

Feb 09Reply

taopeng1999422 I had the same thing happened to me as soon I posted my first item. The person's name is HAILEY RICHARDSON, BE CAREFUL. She said she is going to send me a check but the next day she said she accidentally put her daughter's $ 1000 monthly allowance on the same check too.. She told me to deduct the item's price and 40 dollars for me to run around and then send the rest of the money to her daughter. Then I became very suspicious.I have already send her all my information, WHAT SHOULD I DO NOW???

Feb 09Reply

classychic247 I just got similar message and email. Wow! Scammers figure out new ways daily smh

Feb 10Reply

xojasna @designerattire omg these people asking for items for their daughter kill me 🤣 they’re so annoying!

terradansby last night after I posted my 1st listing ever, I received something like this:( I was so excited at 1st, like wow someone wants to buy something after 10 seconds of posting & then it was like this:( wtf wrong with people:(

Feb 13Reply

miamiposhseller Just got two of the same emails. Smelled a scam as soon as I got the same exact Comments and emails from two different users which are probably the same people. Thank you for the warning.

Feb 16Reply

ashleyhett Thank GOD I found this post on google! I almost just got scammed for the very first time but their email format was very similar to this one except they were willing to give me $70 to hold the item! Sneaky little Bi*ches!

Feb 19Reply

designerattire @ashleyhett lol yes they think they are very sneaky and get away with it.

Feb 19Reply

kullgirl @ashleyhett Wow! I’ve been a member of Poshmark since 2017 and finally just listed an item today and received two responses asking if the item is available and to email them. I received an email back saying the exact same email like you. Being that I’ve never bought or sold on Poshmark I found it kind of odd and fishy that this is how business is conducted. Therefore, I researched and found this this about it being a scam. They must think everyone is stupid or naive.

Feb 19Reply

marciewallis I JUST received the same type of email. Feb 19, 2021.

Feb 19Reply

fedinaj @lemonflamingo Not sure if it’s too late to answer you but don’t do anything. This scam is used mostly on new sellers and It’s not to get your info but to make you send someone your money. They will send you fake check for amount much higher than the cost of the item you are selling and then will tell you that they made a mistake and ask you to transfer the difference to the third party . The crazy part is that that person very often is someone they are scamming as well ( not their accomplice) .

Feb 20Reply

lemonflamingo @fedinaj they asked me to cash a cashiers check and give the extra $$ and the item they were buying from me to their third party person lol. I said yea no. Lol. But they got my email and I’ve had nothing but JUNK and virus emails ever since that I just delete. Never had that before. Super annoying. I warn everyone I see these on to not answer and I report them all as transactions off posh.

Feb 20Reply

fedinaj From what I heard about this scam you are ok unless you did transfer money or wrote a check for that extra amount they sent “ by mistake “ because that check will bounce and you will be out of your own $. And these scammers are very hard to catch unfortunately. So you are going to be ok if you did not deposit their check or send the amount they asked to someone else

Feb 20Reply

fedinaj I am glad that they could not scam you and it’s nice of you to warn people because they’re trying everyone new to the platform.

Feb 20Reply

maxyvega @kleon0185 OMG ME TOO... i’m worried ... i’m supposed to be receiving a check... i’m new to all of this. UGH. IDK WHAT TO DO I JUST REALIZED...

ciennalino @designerattire agreed!

Feb 21Reply

sarahcaterine @maxyvega I just fell for the same thing, stupidly..... Is the consensus to never take checks on here? Only accept direct payment through the website?

Feb 24Reply

maxyvega @sarahcaterine yes. don’t cash the check and NEVER take transactions, off the website. let every thing be on Poshmark 🙂

Feb 24Reply

daniellemcrive Oh no... I fell for this and gave them my name address and they have my email address as well.... what do I do?

daniellemcrive They have my phone as well

jacelinescloset Hi do you have advice on scam buyers? There is an account that just purchase my Gucci ring but I am unsure I want to ship out because it won’t go to Poshmark HQ first. I don’t want the buyer (who has no reviews or transaction history) to purchase from me and do a switch on me and take my item and have their money refunded.

Feb 24Reply

designerattire @jacelinescloset if you feel like this person has scammed you. Cancel the order and do not mail out. Make a new listing and say in the listing that you want buyers to have ratings before they make a purchase and no sales off Poshmark.

Feb 24Reply

jacelinescloset @designerattire Thank you for writing. I still have the item so I haven’t been scammed yet but their profile says from 2013 but no reviews from transactions and no listings. Is there a polite way to ask someone to verify who they say they are

Feb 24Reply

designerattire @jacelinescloset maybe you can ask Poshmark if their is a way that this is a legit buyer. Yes if the person has been on poshmark you would think the person have sold or bought on here

Feb 24Reply

maxyvega @sszon4 F what do I do when I receive a check and they’re texting me to send a picture of the check? i’m so worried IDK what to do.

Feb 26Reply

sszon4 @maxyvega ignore them and don’t touch the money. The banks gonna take that check out because it’s not real money. Block the number and don’t worry

Feb 26Reply

maxyvega @sszon4 thank you for the response! I appreciate it. I was getting worried 😟

Feb 26Reply

sszon4 @maxyvega if you want more reassurance I would call the bank and let them know about it.

snorthuctt Does anyone know why someone would ask me to purchase the item through Facebook?

alittlespicey @sarahcaterine Posh can ban your account for selling off Poshmark. Additionally, you receive none of the support if something goes wrong.

katyamiha @lisalandish I’ve been getting a ton of comments that state they want whatever I’m selling urgently for their sister or daughters. & then they provide their email addresses. I’m assuming this is a scam right? I haven’t emailed them, instead I ask for their phone number or to create a bundle
