A huge Facebook mistake you must NEVER make – it’s spreading like wildfire

FACEBOOK Marketplace sellers have been warned of a worrying scam that's going around.

Cunning con artists ask if they can arrange a collection via FedEx or UPS because they're busy - but all is not as innocent as it may seem.

"OK I take it but I would like to come tomorrow but I am busy with work at the moment," the swindle usually begins.

"I'll send a UPS letter carrier to your home to give you your money in cash and collect the item."

First of all, delivery firms like FedEx and UPS don't offer services like this.

But the scam gets trickier when they ask you to pay for insurance of the envelope supposedly carrying your cash.

They claim that this is a requirement from the delivery provider and promise to leave the additional amount in the envelope so you're not out of pocket.

To lure victims in further, the fraudster will ask for your email address.

They'll use this to send you a fake email pretending to be from the delivery company where you need to deposit the insurance money.

It'll include things like a fake tracking number to make it seem authentic.
