Scammer accounts abound here on Poshmark and they prey on higher end items like formal wear, etc. They ask for emails or texts, want you to ship your item and then they cancel payment when it ships so you're out your item and money. They use fake accounts, fake photos from the internet, often times use strange English sentences and wording, and add a nice "God Bless" for measure.

Hey, I saw you comment on Mary Hampton's profile along time ago saying she was a scammer. How did she scam you? If you don't mind me asking.. i think she's doing that to me rn. She sent me $800 more then she owed me. I'm scared to take it to the bank..
hoppyliz
@dkorb basically anyone who asks for emails, texts or calls are scammers. I have not personally been scammed, but many have. The most common is to send a check and then you ship them item. Then once shipped, they cancel the check. Or P a y. Pal scams are common. I would not trust them whatsoever and just stick with Poshmark. 😉

@hoppyliz what happens if you cash the check before they cancel it?
hoppyliz
@myranda0526 well I guess if the money is good, then nothing 🤷🏻♀️. Have just heard many stories of scammers wanting people to ship a high end item and then canceling payment once it’s shipped. Then it’s too late.
hoppyliz
@myranda0526 I imagine there are a few folks who just would rather buy off Poshmark, but it isn’t supported or guaranteed with Poshmark if somebody loses an item or the money.

@hoppyliz I had this same thing happen to me but I never shipped the dress

I have a question and I honestly don't even know where to go to ask. I know poshmark support won't answer me for a few days so I just looked up scammers and this is the first post I saw.
I have someone that made a purchase. I usually ship right away but couldn't due to a family emergency. I went to their page to leave them a note and realized things were a little off. First, this person just joined. I can see all of their comments, and they made a bunch of purchases in one day.

THEN when you go to meet your Posher, it's a bunch of other meet your Posher listings of other people. I've only seen that one other time and it was when I got a comment saying how they are interested in purchasing but to email them (provided an email) on a "welcome to my closet" listing. I'm not super new to Poshmark but I have had a few cases opened against me recently that were so unfair, I've been scared to even make a sale because it's crazy how dishonest people are.
kovetedkloset
Sorry if this is confusing, long whatever I need to get the item out, and I really don't know what to do. I'm going to put the purchsed item at the top of my page if someone could please look at it and let me know what they think. If really appreciate it.

@hoppyliz I am sorry you were scammed. Please do not buy or sell to melissaramo210. She scammed me.
monsemaria
@kovetedkloset Do not buy of sell to melissaramo210. She scammed me. She opened a case and returned something she did not want. A thief.

@kovetedkloset @hoppyliz Hi I’m selling a higher priced prom dress. And got a offer through Poshmark- but the buyer has no history of making purchases etc. I’m considering accepting her offer but maybe not bc of no history. What are y’all’s thoughts or anyone’s thought on this ??
hoppyliz
@jesslow if it’s done through Poshmark, at least there are some protections there. I am unsure of a way to scam inside of Posh unless they receive the item and open a case saying it isn’t as described so Poshmark says they can ship it back and they don’t. If that happens I don’t know 100% what happens with the money and you’d be out your dress. You could contact Poshmark and ask about a guarantee for sellers if items aren’t returned? Wish I knew more, sorry!
jesslow
@hoppyliz yeah that’s what I’m afraid of since she hasn’t given any “love notes” etc. That sometimes they claim the item isn’t as described and it’s never sent back or they send back something else. I’ll think on it some more.
