  I was contacted by text for my facebook marketplace listing of a sofa for $500. The offer was for full price plus additional money for shipping as the person lives out of town. He said he would send me a check, I could cash it and pay the shipping company from the additional funds he included. I stupidly gave my address. II received the check for $1890.000 and called the bank listed for verification. They could not find the check or account and recommended I go my bank so the check could be seen. I did so and the teller knew immediately that it was fraudulent. First clue was the use of 7 different fonts. I also showed her the text stream. She advised me to text the man that the bank kept the check as it was no good and the account was no good. She also advised stately very clearly that I was moving out of state today and the deal was off. I did so and blocked his number.

  On 07/19/19 I saw a house for rent in FB Market Place and contacted the number! The individual posed as the owner of the property and provider me with a self guided tour. On 07/20/19 he wa texting me telling me I was approved to rent and when could I pay the $3000. I told him that if I rented the place I would need to split the deposit in three payments and pay $2000/month the first three months. He agreed and also advised I couldn’t pay anything until I got paid on 08/01/19. He agreed. We got paid on 07/30 and i made the deposit if $2000 in cash in his Chase business account on 07/31/19. No keys to property was issued by imposter. I called the real leasing company to advise them of the imposter and let him know that I knew he was a fake!

Told me rims were just dirty told only a couple months old were very dark black pits with chrome coming off them.a and look like have been hit with hammer Rims maybe worth $300-$400 and now has my rims for sale for $2000. Told me that when needed tires suckers people into trading with him for new tires.. Such people like this give Facebook and marketplace a bad name. I feel he should be blocked indefinitely.i f no action taken I will be getting authorities involved on him and Facebook for allowing malicious practices to take place. I have had many dealings on Facebook and have never felt so cheated
