Please beware of scammers, there are a lot being posted lately here
How the scam works: they steal pictures from a previously sold Babaa sweater and post for a serious deal. Once you buy the "sweater" they send you some crap that's definitely not what you think you purchased. They purposely mess up your address so it looks like it was delivered to you but whatever they mailed to you got delivered somewhere else. Then they hope that you can't figure it out within the 3 days and that your money is released to them.
Please research items and sellers before you purchase. If an item seems too good to be true it often is. I just hate to see people get scammed on here.
Feel free to share and get the word out 🖤

Thanks for posting this!!

Thank you for posting this!! Unfortunately I fell for this scam :( it was exactly as you described! I got too excited about to price to actually vet the seller.
Our post office knew the package was meant for me (even with wrong address) and I was able to quickly dispute once it was delivered here. Will see what Poshmark does about it. Such a bummer this is happening!

@estherhanten ugh I'm sorry, it sucks that this happens. I report these listings every time I see them and all of these scam listings are still up. It's getting really really frustrating and it's ruining Poshmark.
estherhanten
@steeter11 I know!! Also, after I purchased and realized it was a scam I did notify Poshmark the person was a scammer and they said they had no reason to believe that and would not cancel my purchase. I’ve been reporting as I see them as well! Thank you again for sharing this!

Thanks for sharing! It’s easy to miss if you don’t check the seller page… I’ve noticed that they lazily pull images from active or sold listings. Couldn’t I ask what you report the listing as? Spam? (They need a category specially for this!)
steeter11
@zeitgeese yes you are right they should have a category for scammers. Yep I just do spam, seems like the best choice available. I wish Poshmark did more about all the scam and fakes on here.

@estherhanten wait, what did you receive? Was it a damaged babaa sweater? I had something happen on here with the brand doen, there have been a lot of issues buying doen on posh was well 😒
estherhanten
@duckymoemoe I received a disposable face mask.. lol
Oh no! I’m sorry to hear that! Ugh such a bummer that’s happening with other brands. Poshmark ended up refunding me after reviewing everything thankfully!
steeter11
@duckymoemoe you know I bought a DÔEN top just a couple weeks ago that said it was EUC and it had stains on it and a small hole. Thankfully I was able to return it and get a refund.

Thank you so much for posting this! Wow. I would have absolutely fallen for this, so you have saved me time, money and peace of mind.

Is the best way to vet a seller to look for past sales or is there something else to be on the lookout for?
steeter11
@meaghanlyn yeah I would check on their sales, that they have some reviews. You could also ask some additional questions, ask for some more pictures stuff like that. I just like to make sure it's a real person. Usually it seems like the scammers lately have no prior sales and they don't engage when anyone asks a question 🖤

Thank you so much for this! I was almost taken in by one of these scams.

@estherhanten LOL wtf
itocelot
@steeter11 this is good to know
estherhanten
@itocelot I know!!!! My thoughts exactly lol
itocelot
@estherhanten that’s so bizarre. I wonder how they’ve gotten away with charging people without a chargeback being filed?
estherhanten
@itocelot I have no idea! It’s out of hand.
They ended up sending me a phone stand after I disputed the disposable face mask lol. So bizarre!!
I threw both away immediately. Also their profile on here said they lived in Florida but the package was sent from someone in Pennsylvania.
So many bizarre things! I make sure to vet everyone. Hard lesson to learn!
Their profile hasn’t been taking down. Poshmark does need to remove these profiles. I feel like they could do more.

@estherhanten this makes me wary of buying here now, I usually send my packages to my dads house so my husband doesn’t know I’m buying anything lol. But it takes me a couple days to drive over to pick it up, I wouldn’t want to risk a sale being finalized…
Scary
estherhanten
@itocelot haha!
Yes! They also address it to a neighbors house hoping you don’t notice and that 3 day window closes. I live in a small town so the post office knew it was meant for me and delivered it correctly. It’s why I was able to dispute right away. Super scary!

Ugh this JUST happened to me on Dep*p. I’m so annoyed. They deleted their account right after shipping which is against Dep*p policy so I’m really hoping I have a case. Came here to see if the same picture is popping up on poshmark.

Dang, it might be worth it to just buy them brand new at this point. At least you know you'll get what you paid for
