Buyers please be advised that this account has stolen my photos and listing and is trying to scam people. The original listing is posted in my account where the boots are actually for sale. I’ve seen many instances like this in which accounts have popped up with just one or a handful of listings available. Before purchase please check for previous sales and ratings, if it is a new account with no ratings available this is a MAJOR RED FLAG. Please purchase from reputable sellers to avoid being scammed. Any help in reporting this account would also be wonderful 🙂

Reported for you
klosetenvi
@kbrennan430 thank you 😊

@klosetenvi I reported this to Poshmark. They waited seven days to cancel, despite the concern oh, and did so due to a delay in shipping rather than the account being fraudulent. Then, I noticed both accounts that were using the same pictures were left up on Poshmark and no action had been taken against them..
homermags
My purchase was $225. I noticed someone else got taken by the same account after. Thank you for posting this.
klosetenvi
@homermags that is so HORRIBLE and adding injury to insult is the fact that they don’t do anything to solve the issue! I’m glad you ended up getting your money back though!
homermags
@klosetenvi thank you!
dimpls
Thanks for the warning. Too bad some people are such LOW LIVES. They should take the time they are using to scam and find a REAL JOB!!!! Karma will find them!
julianneszimmer
Thank you for your post!
brokenstick
I don't get the point of the scam? If I buy them and they send me something else ir fail to mail then I get my money back, right? So why do they bother? Thanks for the heads up, btw.
klosetenvi
@brokenstick yes I’ve wondered that myself, how exactly they get their money if sellers don’t get paid until a buyer accepts their order. But I mean scammers are very creative with their ways so whatever they’re doing must pay off if they keep plaguing the place with false listings.
klosetenvi
LADIES‼️I’ve posted another perfect example of what scammers pages look like. In the second and third photo you can see the account only has one listing up that’s multi quantity with even half sizes listed as available for the boot, when we know FREEBIRD only has whole sizes. The account has zero reviews and is fairly newly created. All major red flags.
jodjar
@brokenstick EXACTLY!! This scam would be pointless
willowscloset64
There are allbkinds of these accounts! they have ONE LISTING each... new accounts with a pretty girls picture...
klosetenvi
@willowscloset64 yes it’s gotten progressively worse 😣
willowscloset64
@klosetenvi They could try to get people to buy "off site" and get them to pay that way.. I got scammed on a pair of Freebirds back in 2018 before I got smart, lol. They used other pics, and shipped me some plastic boots!🤣😞😞 Not of Poshmark tho...

Aww it sucks that people do this crap Bc I’m new on the site trying to sell some shoes that I accidentally bought too big so I don’t have any sales yet or anything. I have bought quite a few things but I don’t know if people can see that.
klosetenvi
@froggy2103 oh no! I just checked out your listing and you have a good caption though so I’m sure someone will snatch them up soon enough. Welcome to Poshmark! 🙂
froggy2103
@klosetenvi oh really? Ok cool! Thanks!
pltheut
@klosetenvi hi there! I’ve bought on here but haven’t sold anything so kinda new…how do you see a Posher’s reviews? Thanks I’m advance ❤️
pltheut
@klosetenvi I meant thanks in advance! And thanks for your tips!!
klosetenvi
@pltheut hi there! No problem, it’s quite easy, when you go into someone’s closet, on their banner at the very top you’ll see two buttons, one says about and one says follow. Click the about button and scroll down. If they have ratings this is where you’ll find those. I hope that’s helpful 😁
pltheut
@klosetenvi thanks!! It’s is ❤️
sneak81107
@froggy2103 you have dogs as your photo and dog people are good people. 🥰 sometimes you can just tell by the images and one expensive listing.
froggy2103
@sneak81107 lol! Luckily I was able to sell my shoes on a diff site that didn’t take SO much of the money like this one does so I lucked out lol
sneak81107
@froggy2103 that’s good. I love posh and I have other sites but usually I can find what I’m looking at for half or even a quarter of the price by doing research. I think it’s fun to find someone thing for $80 but find it for $7 for the exact same item. Other sites want you to lower price just to share. And I’ve ran into some wonderful ladies on here that I actually talk to on a regular basis. 🥰
froggy2103
@sneak81107 oh yeah I totally feel u! I love finding cheap stuff!
pursestrings21
Will do!👍
blonde_emt_girl
The sellers are quick to block you, too. If I can't ask a question/make a comment regarding authenticity without being blocked right after, I wouldn't trust that seller as far as I can throw them lol.
packleader3
Thank you so much for the heads up! 👍
jnfrsposh22
@packleader3 I wanted to add, it may have been said, if so forgive me I’ve not had a minute to go thru all comments. But I always check the “closet/username”, this one is **Javiedvidson**. 🚩 1/3,
PS: I’m a talker 🤪
jnfrsposh22
🚩 2/3. 8/10 times you can tell it’s a potential scammer either by the way they type or the way they talk, because this is probably a foreigner with little to no English and used speak to translate or other types of language help apps/software.
jnfrsposh22
🚩3/3.
Phonetically it’s correct. I also hope that this does not come across wrong or in a prejudicial/race related way. That’s DEFINITELY not me! Just Things I’ve learned in The past. Good Luck Y’all 🤩

@homermags disgusting!!
iwantagoldenegg
I hope y’all can give me some advice, I found a pair of boots I really want but it’s a post like you said where it’s only the one listing and just joined yesterday. Is it possible it’s legit or likely a scam? Is there a way for me to show you the post?
Appreciate any help!❤️
klosetenvi
@iwantagoldenegg sure! Just tag my username in the listing and I’ll check it out
iwantagoldenegg
@klosetenvi ❤️Ok thank you so much!
iwantagoldenegg
🌻Just tagged you🤞🏼
iwantagoldenegg
Hello, I was just wondering if you’ve had a chance to take a look at the post I tagged you in on those boots? Thank you again, Sherrie🌻
klosetenvi
@iwantagoldenegg hi there! I just checked it out and it looks like the seller if they are legitimate isn’t responsive to you. They have no previous ratings on their page. So I’d say it would be a big risk to purchase from that account.
iwantagoldenegg
@klosetenvi Thank you I really appreciate you taking time out to look at it for me, I was afraid of that but then telling myself well she was on yesterday and maybe just hasn’t gotten on today to see it lol. But I get it and I need to just pass on it. It’s such a shame we have to worry about this stuff. I don’t understand the point when funds are only released after the buyer accepts.
Thank you again! And you have an amazing closet! I love so much just all in wrong sizes. You have great taste!💎
klosetenvi
@iwantagoldenegg you are correct the funds do only release after the buyer accepts so you can try and purchase and you might score. But you might not in which case you can always open up a dispute with Poshmark, your funds just take several days to be refunded though, I’ve heard some say it takes 10 days past from when a dispute is settled to have the money reimbursed.
mcbrstep
If there’s ever a question to me I’ll ask for an additional picture…that’s how I know it’s for real or not:-)
hmwolverton
@dimpls I was seriously thinking everything you said- verbatim. It amazes me how much time and effort some people put into taking advantage of others. What a shame.
susanarojas2007
@klosetenvi not all new listers are scammers lol I'm new here and have recently been adding a lot of stuff lol but I'm the real deal haha
klosetenvi
@susanarojas2007 that’s correct. The app has many new sellers daily and nobody said all new sellers are scammers hun. Welcome.
msrosered
Thank you for sharing this. It's just so wrong that they aren't being held accountable for their despicable thieving.
sparkledlooks
THANK YOU!!!
alyross
@sparkledlooks Adding this comment for the benefit of anyone who reads this scam thread…..If they “sell” 10 of these and one or two people do not address the problem within 3 days of delivery (of whatever they put in the package), the funds will be released. So they are banking on someone not knowing the rules of posh. Or someone could be on vacation when the package arrives and not able to accept within 3 days, at which time the funds will be released. 3 days is a long weekend.
sparkledlooks
@alyross people are r seriously Hating others. we need to be sticking together right now
alyross
@sparkledlooks Right. I do most of my business on posh because I think they have the best protection for me as a seller. But when there’s a will….there’s a way to scam. 💕
awesluxury90210
has anyone experienced buyers accepting orders then days later stating the item does not work and leaving bad reviews? I just had this happen yesterday.
jennarayn08
$3 for those boots
klosetenvi
@jennarayn08 50 cents for your watch 🤪
flores4coupons
just got “hit” buy @pudgygirl. seller sent me a counteroffer to my offer for an item listed for the same price for months, and i accepted. seller then cancelled order and listed items for more. that’s dirty. does this happen often?
flores4coupons
sorry, name is @4pudgygirl
dinellec
@klosetenvi I've wondered as well.. how exactly do they scam us??
sherridances
Thank you!
danison95
Thank you it has been sometime since I’ve been on Poshmark. I appreciate the warning because I was not aware of things like this!
lstarr1023
I ALWAYS check for ratings & past sales! This app is becoming flooded with scammers and it makes it so I gave up. I’ve deleted most of my items & given up. Tbh I may just delete my whole closet & only buy bc I don’t trust this app anymore
cassandradrinno
if they mail something at all and it gets delivered and the buyer doesn't check/rate within 3 days it's auto accepted and nothing can be done after that. I always check immediately but that's the only way this scam works. I guess they are hoping people are away and not there to get packages smh
jessicahimes387
thank you for sharing.
sage0519
@jessicahimes387 wow.... this literally just almost happened to me!!! I'm just now seeing this!!!! someone was selling 2 pairs for really cheap... I told her I was interested. the next day, she blocked me, and they are nowhere to be found!!! dang, thank u for this post!!!!
sage0519
luckily, I did not try to purchase them!
shelbyblotter
