WARNING: Scammer Alert on Facebook Marketplace
I want to warn you about a scammer I encountered: Rebecca Ray. She has scammed me multiple times, and I don’t want anyone else to fall victim.
A few months ago, she offered to sell me an Oculus for $200. After paying, she never delivered, giving excuses and claiming it was broken without refunding my money. Despite this, I let it go.
Later, she offered an iPad but insisted on delivering it first. She backed out, claiming her daughter wanted to keep it. It felt like another scam, so I kept my distance.
She then claimed her daughter was in the hospital and needed money. Out of compassion, I sent her $40. Later, she claimed to be in a hospital in San Francisco with a swollen face, needing $250 for an Uber. She sent pictures that didn’t seem to match her, likely using her daughter’s photos. She promised to repay me, but my gut said no.
I confronted her, and she admitted to lying, claiming severe anxiety and depression. She said she was stuck because her ride left her, another lie to get money from me. I sent her money for an Uber, but she stopped responding and made no effort to repay me.
It’s clear she fabricates elaborate lies to scam people. Whether she’s using the money for drugs, exploiting her situation as a welfare mom, or selling her body, she is not to be trusted.
It’s been two weeks, and she has ignored my requests for repayment. Here are the pictures she used to pretend she was sick in the hospital.
Please be cautious and avoid any transactions with this person. If you have also been scammed by her or have information, share it in the comments. Let’s protect our community from scammers like her.
Stay safe, everyone!
