Please review my profile listing about FRAUD and SCAMS! 🚫🚫🚫⛔ New listings often get people who ask the seller to e m a I l them. The scammer will ask you to contact them. They offer the new seller to hold item or that they will send a check in the mail. Do Not message them! They are scammers! They are trying to steal personal information for identify theft! DO NOT MESSAGE OR DO OUTSIDE TRANSACTIONS. THATS THE BEST WAY TO PREVENT FRAUD! THEY ALWAYS COME UP WITH A SAD STORY TOO! SCAMS!

ambarabella86 As a rule of thumb, if it's too good to be true it is. On new listings, you will receive messages from people wanting you to contact them outside the site. Do not do it. You can report it by hitting the flag icon. It's scammers. If someone really wants your item, they will find the money to pay for it. Nobody's going to pay more than what it's worth especially using a check. Seller's BEWARE! DONT CONTACT PEOPLE OUTSIDE POSHMARK FOR YOUR SAFETY! HAPPY Poshing!

ambarabella86 On my other listing Fraud 🚫 I explain How sophisticated scams are being perpetrated on the site. I probably have 40 people that have come out with their story about new people asking them to message them outside of the platform, and that they're going to send them a check. They offer to send on average $50 above the amount. Never ever accept a check. Do not do outside transactions. That's your best fraud and safety measure.

Nov 24Reply

ambarabella86 If a genuine customer is interested in purchasing your item legitimately, they will purchase it through Poshmark for buyer guarantee. They're not going to pay above market for an item. That should be your first clue that something's stinky. Make sure that you are taking packaging pictures and all identifying marks to items sold under $500 scammers can switch out the item and you would be without your sale. Document everything! Only sell and buy through the site.

ambarabella86 @merle67 I created this post to help new Posh community members not to fall for the check scams and poachers that want to lure Business off the Poshmark app. Please read the comments and ask any questions.

tayas15 @ambarabella86 I wish I read this sooner. This just happened to me in this way. I feel so dumb now. I’ve learned a lot from reading upon scammers and fraudulent people. I’ve definitely learned my lesson. Thank you for informing me.

emmab18368 Hi! Another scammer is @muddkids4 she has scammed many people out of our items by requesting a refund and claiming the item never arrives or saying it’s in poor. condition and not returning the item while getting a refund. Do not sell to her, she’s also rude. Spreading awareness because she has scammed many people recently.

Jan 26Reply

ambarabella86 @tayas15 It happens to the best of us! It's real hard when new. There's sophisticated scammers out there that exploit kindness. All we can do is expose the scammers and hope people read the comments. 🙏

Jan 26Reply

ambarabella86 @emmab18368 Thank you so much for leaving their closet name. We want to make sure and help our community out! Sorry that happened to you.

Jan 26Reply

ambarabella86 @emmab18368 I've had that happen to me too. It's not right!

Jan 26Reply

emmab18368 @ambarabella86 yes! She deleted her listings and changed her name when I called her out on it so hopefully she’ll stop! I just don’t want anyone else to get scammed by her.

Jan 26Reply

ambarabella86 @emmab18368 Make sure you report to Poshmark as well if you haven't already. That way they can see the pattern.

emmab18368 @ambarabella86 I have!

ritajetson @ambarabella86 Hi I was scammed today! The buyer actually has a closet, my question is what legal recourse do I have?

Mar 09Reply

ritajetson @ambarabella86 I have sent numerous email to poshmark and can’t imagine how this will play out, my husband has been out of work and was really counting on the funds right now

Mar 09Reply

ritajetson @ambarabella86 not to mention he didn’t want me to sell them in the first place, I only took pictures of the box before I sealed it! Any advice on how to proceed thank you

Mar 09Reply

ambarabella86 @ritajetson My first question is did you sell the item through Poshmark? Because if you did, then your purchase is covered.

Mar 09Reply

ritajetson @ambarabella86 Hi Amber yes I did I have pictures of package and receipt from post office, she is showing a totally different package that fit in her mail box when the box weighs 4 1/2 lbs! I don’t see how this can be resolved since poshmark is always protecting the buyer. Thank you so much for answering I am so very upset over this

Mar 09Reply

ambarabella86 @ritajetson They have a label that's geo tracked. The label has a gps to pin point. If it says delivered to her address then they will settle it. Contact the USPS with the tracking number you have and see if it went to the address. Tell poshmark that she has swapped it out. You sent the package and she received it. You want you eanrings.

Mar 09Reply

ambarabella86 @ritajetson Report the closet for fraud. You can file a IC3 crime report online and complaint with USPS. However you did your part. Send all pictures you have to poshmark's contact team that you shipped it. also, when you shipped the package, it has a weight. You could prove the package you sent weighed x and she received it.

Mar 09Reply

ambarabella86 @ritajetson I am sorry the buyer is trying a scam. Get onto that geo tracked label to her home and you can show poshmark. Please let me know what happens! I have another listing that says Fraud 🚫It has all the links you'll need. I started the thread because a scam was ran on me by a buyer named Gordana. She did the same thing and stole a bag. It was a different site so I was in horror of what happened. She eventually got in trouble however! So file reports! keep me posted!

Mar 10Reply

ambarabella86 @ritajetson Closet name of the alleged scammer. That way we can be on alert.

Mar 10Reply

ritajetson @ambarabella86 Hi Amber first I would like to thank you so very much for your help, I have sent everything I have to poshmark the receipt from post office has the weight, this is the first time I didn’t make any copy of the shipping label but am going personally to post office today. The horrible person is @glenditta_11 I also flagged her for harassment.

Mar 10Reply

ritajetson @ambarabella86 sorry it’s the wrong spelling @glendita_11 her name is Glenda Garcia

Mar 10Reply

ambarabella86 @ritajetson Thank you so much for sharing your situation and alerting the community! I know you'll win! I had to learn the hard Way about packaging pictures, before, during, and after and picture of label and scan. I wish you all the best and thank you so much for keeping me updated about the situation. Poshmark should do right by you! Praying they do!

Mar 10Reply

ritajetson @ambarabella86 can’t thank you enough I really appreciate it will definitely keep in touch 😘

Mar 10Reply

ambarabella86 @ritajetson Thank you so much! I also recommend that depending how Poshmark treats this case that It's considered theft if the item is not accepted and don't receive your payment, You will file a BBB complaint. depending on the price of the item that was sold, Posh usually accommodates both sides. I would truly and aggressively pursue the Options of compliants.

Mar 10Reply

ritajetson @ambarabella86 Hi Amber filing a complaint is great but I plan on contacting 7 on your side and blowing this up! Lol I’ve gotten on Twitter and Instagram and plan on pursuing this until I get answers, they need a customer service number and different policy for seller. Thank you for listening to me so appreciated my friend 😘

Mar 10Reply

ambarabella86 @ritajetson Good for you! ❤️💓 Wishing you all the best and Please keep me updated!

Mar 11Reply

ritajetson @ambarabella86 Hi Amber your never going to believe this after countless emails I contacted the CEO of Poshmark on Twitter Friday and didn’t expect to hear from him, then yesterday afternoon I received the original box I mailed to the buyer with a label from usps . Shortly after I received a message from the CEO on Twitter asking me for details of the case! The only thing my husband and I can surmise is that poshmark was going to charge her account and she mailed it back

Mar 14Reply

ritajetson @ambarabella86 My husband and I can only surmise that poshmark was going to charge her and she decided to send it back. There was no communication with customer service except the case was closed. I am going to respond to the CEO and let him know that his interest is greatly appreciated but their customer service is not acceptable. Unfortunately I don’t think I will remain on this site it was extremely stressful going through this!

Mar 14Reply

ritajetson @ambarabella86 people need to know they have to document every step of their sales and hope they aren’t scammed. I want to thank you so very much for your help and using your platform as an ambassador to let as many people know about this, forever grateful 😘

Mar 14Reply

ambarabella86 @ritajetson Hello, thank you so much for telling us what happened with the case. Customer support is very slow and hard to get a person to respond. Great job you were able to get a response on social media! We typically do that to get their attention. Great news with your box! It is back and you have your item! The customer may have sent to back or perhaps it was USPS that messed up? They do that sometimes. It is rare but happens.

Mar 14Reply

ambarabella86 @ritajetson I'm so glad that it worked out! Thank you so much for sharing what happened, that way we can avoid problems. I learned the hard way about packages myself. Now I take pictures of pre-packaging, packaging, in the box, and picture of the weight with my scale so I don't get scammers stealing from me anymore. It's awful that people do this. Thank you so much for your share! ❤️💓💓

blessedbe169 @ambarabella86 hey Amber it’s Lisa I don’t know if you do remember me . I am the one who purchased your Michael kors pink Hamilton bath last year . Anyways I want you to help me out with something so I was trying to buy a Louis Vuitton Palm spring backpack from this seller she has no reviews at all and she is brand new on this app . She told me she would do the transaction $500 dollars and she told me to pay her through outside . So far I haven’t even got any notification

Apr 08Reply

ambarabella86 @blessedbe169 Hello, yes it's a scam! New seller selling a 1800 dollar item for $500 is a scam. The reason She didn't want you to buy it through Poshmark is because it goes through Poshmark concierge, and Poshmark would have refunded you if she never shipped it. It is a scammer. Contact your financial institution right away and put in a claim.

Apr 08Reply

blessedbe169 @ambarabella86 I Did contacted them love and they told me wait till it posted to filed a claim so I’m waiting and I keep trying to contact the Cash-app to see if they can assist me but no one reply yet or refunded me at all if you look at my picture on here in the closet you will see the Seller please check her out and see if she is a scammer or not I think so love

Apr 08Reply

ambarabella86 @blessedbe169 Please put the name of the closet, that way I can report it. Never ever buy from new sellers that want you to pay outside poshmark. They are scammers and they also know they can get away with it. If it's through or a card report it. I am so sorry this happened to you! I wish you had contacted me sooner! I would have advised do not pay for any item outside of Poshmark with a new seller or buyer. They are SCAMMERS. Please let me know how I can help!

ambarabella86 @blessedbe169 If she collected the money you can dispute it. It's a fraud. The seller is a scammer. If she hasn't cashed it cancel the transaction right away!

ambarabella86 @blessedbe169 in the future dear friend, please reach out to me and I'm happy to help you look at items, and give you advice to prevent getting Scammed. It is so wildly popular on this particular site, actually all the sites have this kind of thing going on. That's why I posted listings to try to help people not get scammed.

Apr 08Reply

blessedbe169 @ambarabella86 sure love her name is @montezbtq that’s her love . Yes and I don’t know I have a weird stomach feeling about this I really want my money back and she said that she took it out of the bank already so I called Bank of America to dispute it the customer service told me tomorrow called back to dispute it I feel so scared and upset I just wanted my time but I don’t know it’s legit anymore love

Apr 08Reply

blessedbe169 @ambarabella86 I’m trying to contact cash -app to cancel it I don’t know why they are not replying to me or cancelling it to me and she deleted my comment this morning when I asked her to canceled the item for me on her Poshmark listing

Apr 08Reply

blessedbe169 @montezbtq they told me you were a scammer love I don’t feel comfortable at all :( .

Apr 08Reply

blessedbe169 @ambarabella86 Amber she told me I need to call her to get my refund back what ???? And she is cussing at me I’m gonna report this this isn’t right at all .

Apr 08Reply

ambarabella86 @blessedbe169 She's a new seller, and she's selling you a very expensive Louis Vuitton for cheap and requested it have to be outside Poshmark That's against poshmarks community rules.

Apr 08Reply

blessedbe169 @ambarabella86 I agreed Amber knows me I don’t scam right Amber and she said she will report me on here and another selling app That I do and she said she will refund me tonight so let see . Also , I will dispute it with the bank if I don’t see my refund tonight . I don’t scam no one Amber knows me personally I buy from her before @montezbtq

Apr 08Reply

ambarabella86 @montezbtq Do the right thing, and give her back her money and this all will be resolved. Thank you. For the future, requesting that buyers do outside transactions is against poshmark's community guidelines and rules. It violates their policies. You've been informed. perhaps you didn't know, Now you do. It's also unprofessional to use bad language with your customers.

Apr 08Reply

blessedbe169 @ambarabella86 that’s what I was thinking .!

Apr 08Reply

ambarabella86 @blessedbe169 I went to her closet and I don't see the listing of the bag. So she had a listing up?

Apr 08Reply

blessedbe169 @ambarabella86 she took it down love she had three bags up yesterday if you look at my closet photo she was trying to sell Me the Louis Vuitton palm beach backpack .

Apr 08Reply

blessedbe169 @montezbtq I Have all your text messages Here with me Amber if needs them I can Email them to her or phone her . You’re being rude to me Selena . Because you’re new and doesn’t have any rating I have to be cautious and you haven’t shipped my the item or nothing at all I know you are at work so I’m just saying if you are serious you can ship it today if not just refund that’s all . No need to be harassing anyone

Apr 08Reply

ambarabella86 @blessedbe169 I would contact Poshmark with the screenshots of the messages. If she doesn't give you a refund, or the transaction doesn't work out. They need to be made aware of people on here trying to scam and encourage customers to do it off site. I know you didn't know, and now you do. If you ever need help, we can ask for help from other Poshers. I'm here to help prevent scams! Please reach out to me if you're ever doing another purchase in the future!

Apr 08Reply

ambarabella86 @mary2196 There's a closet running scams on here. They're wanting outside transactions.

Apr 08Reply

ambarabella86 @blessedbe169 I completely understand! I am Just glad you can contest the charges and get your money. I am so sorry you had this kind of buying experience! I will definitely tag you in good and reputable sellers closets that have those bags! Thank you so much for warning the poshmark community and I hope my advise to contest charges with your BOA works! I had to do that before and they got my money back. Esp if Seller never went tracking. If a fake were to show up same thing.

Apr 08Reply

ambarabella86 @blessedbe169 I appreciate you! Hang in there! You're going to get your money back one way or the other. That's something that scammers never think about is that any customer can contest charges with their credit card company and or financial institution and get their money back especially if it's fraudulent!

Apr 08Reply

blessedbe169 @ambarabella86 yes that’s So true Amber thank you My love I do appreciate you very much for giving me this warning and now I know and I am so sad now I am waiting till it posted to dispute it I hope cash-app reply to me fast to refund me or she does quickly . She told me yesterday she needed the money faster that’s why it was weird and I trusted her so quickly . you’re so welcome and that’s true I want to have it back to pay for my court fees for the bankruptcy

Apr 08Reply

blessedbe169 I will let you know when I get my refund and if she refund me . I hope I don’t ever have to deal with this again . I never had anyone yelled at me like that as a seller myself I talk To my customers with respect I told her if you’re legit send me the package and I will authenticate it at the Louis Vuitton store and if it’s legit no problem if not I will return it back to you for sure and dispute it with the bank for a refund I can’t do fakes at all i hate the way they smells

ambarabella86 @blessedbe169 Hi hun I know it is terrible what she pulled. I am not aware of any way to get money from the app, however the bank in where the money was pulled from you absolutely can dispute charges and get your money back. Don't worry you will get your money back.

Apr 08Reply

ambarabella86 @blessedbe169 It's probably a Google number hun. The best way for you to get that money back is for you to open in case with your bank. She knows to give you your money back, you can also file a report with your local police department. get a case number and that will move your complaint with the bank really fast!

Apr 08Reply

blessedbe169 @ambarabella86 ok I’m gonna call the police non emergency and tell them now and get a case number and get my money faster love you I will update you tomorrow as well

Apr 08Reply

ambarabella86 @blessedbe169 Yes and you can do it all online. Go to local police department site. Follow instructions of theft. Make sure you don't want to talk to a detective tell me you just want the case number to help your case with the bank and the site. they'll move it quickly.

jac5mclean Hello, I’m currently being scammed. I sold an item and they claimed it was missing sequence even tho I had proof That there was nothing wrong with the jacket. Poshmark allowed them to return it. And I received it back today and there was a water bottle and a dirty small black jacket in return. I already contacted the police because I was already being harassed by them. Should I continue with my case. I have their address.

Apr 29Reply

ambarabella86 @jac5mclean I would show your side to Poshmark. I know it's troubling that you had a faulty return. I am not understanding the scam. Did you not receive your Item back? They swapped it for something else in the return? The police really can't do anything unless there's something such as a threat, stolen property etc.

Apr 30Reply

ambarabella86 @jac5mclean So they didn't return your item? Contest the case with Poshmark. Show them your evidence. Say if they don't review it properly you'll file a complaint with the BBB. You can turn in the buyer with IC3 crime unit the links in my other post called fraud. Definitely continue to dispute with Poshmark and try all their social media sites such as I G Twitter etc.

Apr 30Reply

jac5mclean @ambarabella86 yea they didn’t return my item. There was a water bottle and a rag of a jacket that was returned to me. And they got refunded. And they still have my jacket. I’ve already opened up a case with poshmark. And they seem to not care. So I’ll prob need to reach out IC3

May 02Reply

ambarabella86 @jac5mclean try all their social media sites, tell them that they did not return your item. Open a dispute, and also file a complaint with the BBB if they don't investigate it. I am sorry that happened. It just happened to another lady too.

May 03Reply

ag031812 @ambarabella86 hi have any of you send to xx McCullough New Castle, I have googled the address and buyer tells me is a forwarding company, I'm scared I'm just getting scammed but buyer seems legit. Their website is something like usa2georgia.. any experience?

May 30Reply

ambarabella86 @ag031812 Hello, I highly recommend that you reach out to Poshmark direct. State your concerns about the buyer's address. They're supposed to vet that it's legitimate addresses, but scams can happen. So I would contact Poshmark support make sure that they are going to cover the purchase and sale, and make sure that they vet that it's a viable buyer and address

kgimas Hi, I have to separate this into more than 1 comment because of the 500 character limit. Has anyone noticed that there are a whole bunch of new accounts (April, May, June 2021) selling the same designer bags? Some of the different accounts have the same exact wording in the descriptions, some are slightly different. Some say you can "buy direct". I assume that means an offline transaction.

Jul 19Reply

kgimas The prices on these bags are ridiculous. There all around the same price, in the 2 to 3 hundreds. This is for brand new bags like Gucci and the LV Neverfull. I'm no expert on replicas, but something's not right.

Jul 19Reply

ambarabella86 @kgimas Hi yes there's been a huge increase of scammers and replica bags being listed daily! I report them as soon as I see them, the poshmark takes it sweet time to remove them! It's like whack a mole! I just keep reporting it. I hope buyer's don't do off-site. They can screwed that way unless they file with their financial institution.

Jul 19Reply

ambarabella86 @kgimas I have that happen with my listings. They steal my authentic picture and then they're posting a fake for under $300. It's disrespectful and disgusting that they keep stealing my photos! I report it every time though.

Jul 19Reply

ambarabella86 @kgimas They are replicas for sure! the photo rarely matches the item that a person would receive if they even receive it. They're straight-up scammers trying to steal people's information from a label. When you buy something on here, and it's under $500 it posts your name and address on the label. So they're stealing information.

Jul 19Reply

kgimas @ambarabella86 "whack a mole" lol! It's so true though. I report them too. It's sad because I really like Poshmark, but I'm getting really nervous to buy anything from here anymore. At least a lot of these ads look so fake that I would never buy from them, but some are harder to identify.

Jul 19Reply

kgimas I just want people to know to really check out the seller (or buyer). Read about them, look in their closets, love notes, ask questions about the items that might help you determine if something is real or fake. You know the old saying, "If something seems to good to be true, it probably is"! Thank you for making these listings!

Jul 19Reply

ambarabella86 @kgimas Absolutely! Great advice for people to read! If you buy anything over $500 Poshmark Authenticate team will authenticate it and ship it to you for free! I really recommend people not buy a luxury bag for under 500 especially if claiming the items NWT or New without tags. They are scammers and hustlers. Scams and Fraud information are on two listings because it's this frequent on here! Please be safe and thank you so much for sharing! You're a wonderful Posher!

Jul 19Reply

ambarabella86 @kgimas If you're ever nervous on whether it's a authentic or fake, tag me and I'll check out the listing. I typically can tell if it's a replica or not.

idreamlulu I sold a bundle of leggings to a scammer. I sent all the correct items but once it was delivered the buyer lied about me sending the wrong items. The buyer had opened the package and switched out the actual leggings I sent with her dirty shirts and opened a case to Poshmark. Poshmark decided to give both of us a refund. I’m extremely annoyed that I was scammed because the buyer got to keep all five leggings and got her money back too. Is there any way I can report her to the authorities?

Jul 27Reply

ambarabella86 @idreamlulu I'm very sorry that that happened to you! That seems to be a new trend the last few years. A switcheroo. The only thing you can do is report her to IC3 crime unit online. The monitary value of that may be less than 500 therefore your best bet is to report her because she may be doing it all the time. report her closet name here so we can avoid her as a Poshmark community. I am so sorry that happened and she'll get caught eventually.

cristi16 @paokue09 stole my Lululemon bra and scammed me. I am reporting her to the FBI.

ambarabella86 @cristi16 make sure and document every time you ship an item. Take pictures of everything and label. Open returns in front of a post woman of man. They are credible in complaints they witness it. Links of fraud are on my Fraud listing. Put closet name here so we can be warned. Sorry that happened to you.

kasacast25 @ambarabella86 I have an expensive item listed and a “guest” account purchased it. It’s giving me a bad vibe, I’ve never had a guest purchase an item. Have you heard of anyone getting scammed like this?

Nov 19Reply

ambarabella86 @kasacast25 If it's over $500 it goes through Poshmark concierge. They protect your purchases hun. I would reach out to Poshmark first and see if they can give you a good advice on what to do moving forward.

Nov 19Reply

kasacast25 @ambarabella86 I reached out to Poshmark as soon as I saw who purchased. Thank you so much for your response ❤️

Nov 19Reply

ambarabella86 @kasacast25 I actually just had a buyer by my Louis Vuitton last night, and then they deleted their Poshmark account but it still showed that I needed to ship it. I went ahead and reported the suspicious activity to Poshmark. I canceled the order because it was a deleted account. So please beware of new buyers who are creating accounts, buying your items, and then canceling their accounts. Do not ship under these circumstances.

Nov 19Reply

ambarabella86 @kasacast25 It's better to be safe than sorry. I have sold to new buyers numerous times, and did not have issues. However, anything that is expensive, please reach out to Poshmark first to make sure they will cover the transaction if something goes wrong.

kelsknutson I purchased two coats 10 days ago that i am now seeing a bunch of same listing were also sold but those listings are deleted off posh sold listings, one shows delivered and it never was and i cant even look at the listing because it has been removed even though i purchased and the other shows in transit but usps shows delivered, I have contacted poshmark in the problems with order 6 times and order not received for the other jacket and they have not responded to any of them?!

Nov 28Reply

ambarabella86 @kelsknutson hello, I'm very sorry to hear that you have experienced such a terrible seller. I would highly encourage you to contact Poshmark on their Instagram, and Twitter pages. write that you're a buyer, and exactly what happened. You bought several items and didn't receive them nor a response from Poshmark support. I had luck with their Instagram via messaging. Plan B, you can also open a case with your financial institution and explain what happened.

Nov 28Reply

ambarabella86 @kelsknutson if Poshmark support doesn't respond to you, tell them that you're going to open a case with your financial institution. That's another way you can get your money back. I know that they are inundated with the holiday shopping, but you should have heard something by now. write them via here, Instagram, and on Twitter. Make the comments public on the Twitter, and somebody will get back to you.

Nov 28Reply

ambarabella86 @kelsknutson I'm sorry this happened to you. It's not the standard selling buying experience. Please keep us posted on what happens! Hoping you get a response soon!

Nov 28Reply

kelsknutson @ambarabella86 thanks for your helpful responses, I definitely did not know to contact them through those avenues. I ended up contacting then through an email I had received for a different item and pasted the order number on it and received refunds for both quickly, it was like the order page and options were compromised too and they maybe weren't even receiving all of my delivery inquiries or order not received?

Nov 28Reply

ambarabella86 @kelsknutson Most welcome! Please go through where you purchased items, and you can click problem with existing order. Contact Poshmark through the purchase area. So go to your closet, purchases, and open an inquiry contact Poshmark. That should help!

Nov 28Reply

kelsknutson @ambarabella86 I did that and they never responded to either listing and I contacted at least a dozen times over 10 days. one was listed as delivered and I did order not recieved and other was still in transit but showed up as delivered by usps, so I contacted through a different email and was refunded almost immediately. thanks for your time and help!

luckydream All sellers please don’t sell to buddy1024 to prevent what happened to me to all of you. This person is a new user offered $75 for Ugg Adirondacks 7.5 on Dec 19th when I had them listed for double. I accepted in the holiday spirit, packaged it and shipped out Mon Dec 20th afternoon. The buyer then commented on Tuesday that they noticed it would be the wrong size and wanted to return. I said that I already shipped it out and that’s when the flood of a spam like messages appeared.

Jan 04Reply

luckydream Their phone was hacked, their bank will be investigating. By the way they stated that they received a refund from their bank. Their messages were filled with errors or just didn’t make sense and name calling. Then they opened up two return cases all with different stories, not working, fake, wrong color.

Jan 04Reply

luckydream After over a week of waiting to hear posh approved their case because they were not able to determine authenticity. I actually had these uggs authenticated and included this during the case and they still sided with the buyer. This buyer kept threatening to prosecute me they were fakes and even involved her husband on the deluge of name calling and false accusations in their comments.

Jan 04Reply

luckydream This was especially upsetting when they opened the cases on Christmas Day and then again three days after. How upsetting! Anyways don’t let this happen to you and I’ll need to wait and see if I even get my boots back in the same condition. I sent posh support another message explaining that these were authenticated and authentic uggs so will see what they say.!

Jan 04Reply

ambarabella86 @luckydream I have a link called 🚫 Fraud listing you will find resources and links on how to file a IC3 FBI crime unit complaint. Please file this person's information and as much evidence as possible to Report this user. we don't need people like this scamming. This alleged faulty return should be reported also with Poshmark on all their social media accounts including Insta and Twitter. Ask to speak to a supervisor. Video the box and unboxing of the returned items.

Jan 04Reply

ambarabella86 @luckydream Please video the unboxing of the item, so that you can have video evidence of the box before it's opened and video the opening of the box to see how it's returned. In the event it does not come back, you can file a crime report with your local PD, and use that number to complain with posh and the IC3 crime unit.

Jan 04Reply

ambarabella86 @luckydream I'm very sorry this happened to you. I've had faulty returns, I've had buyers buy my items, and they screw it up and returned it destroyed. I've even had a situation where the buyer swapped out authentic bag and returned a fake.

luckydream @ambarabella86 Thanks so much again for the help and support! I’m so very sorry that this has happened to you as well and to everyone who has been scammed. I still can’t believe after all the evidence, name calling, threats, false comments and ever changing stories that they approved the return. I’m 8% away from being an ambassador and they sided with the new buyer. 🤦🏻‍♀️ I’ll keep you updated. Again, Sellers beware of buddy1024 from Bloomingrove TX.

Jan 04Reply

luckydream Thanks so much again for your help! I reached out to them on twitter, a Posh manager emailed me yesterday but hasn't replied back yet. I received the return back today. I video recorded myself opening the box and sent to Posh support. The buyer damaged the UGG authenticity tag by scrapping off the silver foil hologram off the label. The label is now damaged, frayed & faint with no hologram on it! The boots smell strongly of perfume. Can't even reposh it. The buyer even kept the ty gift! 🤦🏻‍♀️

ambarabella86 @luckydream I'm so sorry that that happened! That was terrible. clearly they use the item and you need to file a complaint. Tell them that you want the price of what you sold They can credit it! Show them it was used and messed up! A smell is hard to prove, but the visible damage of the before and after will help prove your case at this buyer used your boots and then return them and damaged them . They can refund you the price you would have made on it.

ambarabella86 @luckydream Threaten the BBB if they don't take it seriously.

Jan 06Reply

ambarabella86 @luckydream That's what we call a faulty return. That is when a buyer uses an item, and returns it damaged. They bought the item, used it, and now has made the reselling price hard to sell. Fraudulent and faulty returns are prohibited. It says it on their Poshmark site, that if the buyer uses the item and damages it in any way, that they are not going to get a full refund. Report buyer too.

Jan 06Reply

luckydream @ambarabella86 Thanks so much for all your help and support! I truly appreciate it. I reached out again on twitter. They said stay tuned it has been escalated and an agent will get back to me. It's just terrible that there are people out there who conduct scams and try to get away with it. Just horrible! I will pursue that.Thank you for the advice. Will keep you posted.

Jan 06Reply

luckydream @ambarabella86 Thank you so much again for all your help and support! Can’t thank you enough. You’re awesome & a super Posher! I followed your advice. I had to send several Twitter msgs, posh support emails since I kept getting different generic responses. 1st one just gave me a $25 credit and cancelled order. I kept pursuing and finally got the right agent after several attempts who actually understood and gave me the credit of my sale for the boots.

luckydream @ambarabella86 Again, sellers beware of buddy1024 who will submit a refund from their bank, refund fraud through posh, change their stories multiple times, send spam msgs w threats, insults and even involved her husband. Will use your item and damage it and send it back as a faulty return. So glad to have resolved this. It was such a terrible experience esp around the holidays. Hope this doesn’t happen again to you or anyone else. Best wishes for a wonderful New Year and many sales!!! 💗🌸🛍

ambarabella86 @luckydream Thank you so much for following up and letting me know what happened! I am so happy that they did right by you! I know how it is to have a buyer, a fraudulent buyer, ruin your items and then send it back and get their refund. It's very frustrating!In this situation they did the right thing and gave you the money you earned. Thank you so much for adding buddy to the list of buyers to watch out for! Happy New year! Thank you so much for keeping posh a safe place to shop and sell!

ambarabella86 Sellers beware of buddy1024!

Jan 09Reply

ambarabella86 🚨Ladies, My first word of advice is if it sounds too good to be true, it is! Don't buy off site! That will never change. If someone is willing to pay you more for your item then what it's worth, then that's a scam. If they want to send you a check, it's a scam! Traders, please be careful! Look for at least 10 positive trade feedbacks and three referrals. Do not just assume because they have five star positive feedback that they are a good seller or trade partner.

seasalticex22 I'm in the process of being scammed. I just had a buyer say that I sent a completely different product, which is not true. I don't know what to do. I wrote Poshmark customer service, but I did not receive any kind of confirmation that my message was sent.

Sep 08Reply

ambarabella86 @seasalticex22 Hello, I'm sorry to hear of this. It's always good to document your packaging process that way. if a customer says that's not what they received, you can prove the items wait on the label. I personally weigh my items to avoid this. If she or he opened a case, you can reply to the comments. Make sure you show your evidence that you sent the proper item. contest it. You can also contact Poshmark on their social media accounts. and their T W I T T E R.

Sep 08Reply

ambarabella86 @seasalticex22 message them on all their social media platforms. also reply and contest it on the open case. Upload your pictures of the item they received and tell them they're scamming you.

Sep 08Reply

ambarabella86 @seasalticex22 I'm really sorry that this happened. This is a very common practice. when you sell online. They'll buy an authentic item and swap it out for a fake. They either lie say it's not the item they bought to get a refund and keep the item. If the person opened a case, you have plenty of opportunity to refute it. Please keep me posted

Sep 08Reply

seasalticex22 @ambarabella86 I requested a picture of the shipping label because what they "received" was in a plastic bag and I shipped a cardboard box. It looks like they cut the label from the box and taped it below another shipping label on the bag... I wish I could make out all the numbers on the other label. Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures besides those in the listing. I will need to better document my package going forward. I have a receipt from the post office, that's about it.

handbaghobbyist I'm glad other sellers are talking about documenting their packing process. My sister and I began documenting everything several years ago, and we recently had to share evidence with Poshmark and USPS. The scammer got a free item and a refund, which you think would make them quietly move on to their next victim, but she resorted to name-calling and gaslighting when she learned that Poshmark released my funds for the "missing" item.

Aug 19Reply

ambarabella86 @handbaghobbyist Unfortunately, the scammers get better and better at it. I believe this site does watch reported buyers. So hopefully we can have a better system to help sellers and buyers avoid this painful process. Documenting and weighing the items helps tremendously. I’m sorry that happened to you both.

sunburndad Saw this. Somebody was commenting on my post to text them. I noticed that the area code was different than their alleged location from poshmark. They also are in a third location where they wanted me to send the dress, all different names. The check hasn’t come yet, but I don’t even want it. I know it’s fake. I searched the number on Google and two other profiles have been using it.

Sep 05Reply

ambarabella86 @sunburndad I’m glad you didn’t sell outside the site. So many sellers fall for the “ check “ in the mail and alleged customers wanting to buy their items above their asking price. It’s the whole saying if it’s too good to be true it is. To be safe, I encourage everyone to do all transactions through Poshmark for seller and buyer protection.

ambarabella86 @alexcrystal Sorry I didn’t see your post here. Anything purchased through Posh Concierge is protected.

Nov 11Reply

ambarabella86 @michelegance You can contest that. Did it go through Poshmark concierge? Or directly to customer. Always take pictures, videos, or packaging process. That way you have a time stamped proof of when item was sent. The serial numbers are important too. I’m sorry to hear someone is trying to switch bags. It’s a common scam that led me to start this scam post. Someone switch a real LV for a fake China bag. Made me angry!

Nov 11Reply

ambarabella86 @michelegance If you have photos of the packaging process you can challenged that they marked it up. Next time sell it for over 500 and it’ll go through Poshmark authentication department. I’m sorry someone messed up your bag or is trying to switch it.

shaynezammiello Hi @ambarabella86 I don’t know if i am getting scammed or not. I am selling a pair of leggings and they told me to message them on email so I did. They are willing to pay the price and send money for me to ship item. They said once I receive the check from them I can then ship out my item. Is this a scam or do I accept?

Jan 24Reply

ambarabella86 @shaynezammiello Hello, I hope I’m not too late to advise you. Do not take any checks or payments outside of the Poshmark app. It’s a common scam and you will not get a legitimate payment.

Jan 24Reply

ambarabella86 @shaynezammiello Scammers constantly send a message to contact them outside the app with willing to pay more or benefit to allure a sale outside the app. If you do a sale or transaction outside the place you lose your guarantee if something goes wrong. They also steal information. So please be careful of those customers wanting to conduct activity willing to pay various ways outside the app. They usually steal your info, your items, and there’s little that can be done.

Jan 24Reply

ambarabella86 @shaynezammiello I used to get the messages to contact them via their set up e mail all the time. It’s a scam!

sydneysfb @emmab18368 There really needs to be a private group off posh where people can pay addresses. Names can get you into trouble. I always do a check on addresses. There are a few cities I will not ship to because of the scams out of those areas. Since not shipping there and checking the buyers profile I rarely have issues. Other sellers leave comments on people's profile pages. It helps you determine the risk.

aspen_leia @ambarabella86 I have a question. I’ve been reading all the comments here and being new to selling on here I’m still learning. When taking pictures of the whole packaging process as well with tracking number where exactly do we send the buyer that information? Is it in the private conversation where the tracking number appears under sales?

May 24Reply

ambarabella86 @aspen_leia Hello, when you make a sale, you can have conversations with buyer. Upload the pictures of the item current condition. You can send 5 pictures per comment. Take pictures of the packing process and box with clear label before shipping. It adds confidence for the buyer and protects you from allegations the items wasn’t in the same condition as listed.

May 24Reply

ambarabella86 @aspen_leia You go to sales history and buyer information comes up and option start conversation will appear. You can chat where the listing sold is on the sale portion where it allows you to upload label too. All that information is same part.

May 24Reply

aspen_leia @ambarabella86 thank you very much, I really appreciate it. I’m going to document every step now. Another question, I don’t have a label printer yet so I print it on regular paper…can I tape the whole entire label with clear tape incase it’s raining somewhere so the label doesn’t get ruined? Can it still get scanned properly if I do that?

May 24Reply

ambarabella86 @aspen_leia Hello, thank you for reaching out. Make sure the ink is working. You can tape with packaging tape clear of course strips over the mailing label. It secures it and does protect the scan on the mailing label. I do that always because my postal worker suggested I do that. They can scan your package with the clear tape over the label. The only time they can’t scan is if the ink is light due to poor ink quality. I hope that helps!

kymbny I’m in the middle of an odd transaction where an item I purchased from a first time seller (my mistake) was shipped via FedEx and ordered from Dicks Sporting Goods. All the photos were stock and it’s clear they never had the physical item to sell. I contacted Dicks Sporting Goods and they had the transaction flagged on their end as suspicious/fraud so I assume the seller hijacked an old unused account and used a stolen credit card to order the item directly from DSG.
