They asked me about the price and condition. Then they said they will make the payment via 'CHRONOPOST' who will hand me a cash payment. I didn't realise this was a scam in time and gave some details. They proceeded to ask me for insurance money, at which point I told them I no longer wanted to sell them this item. That's when the threats came in: "I will sue you - you'll go to prison", and other nonsense. Don't fall for this!
an anonymous userhttps://www.onlinethreatalerts.com/users/#an-anonymous-userJun 8, 2022 by Chronopost Scam Facebook Marketplace Warningan anonymous user from: New Malden, England, United KingdomI got the request for insurance money today! Blocked and reported as spam.What's really annoyed me is that Facebook isn't taking action to stop this, and it's been going on with the same script since Oct 2021? Yet, I tried to sell a second hand breast pump and Facebook took it down in an hour for "violating community standards"!!
an anonymous userhttps://www.onlinethreatalerts.com/users/#an-anonymous-userMay 25, 2022 by Chronopost Scam Facebook Marketplace Warningan anonymous user from: Iwerne Courtney, Blandford Forum, England, United KingdomI have just received one of these suggestions to send my item to the buyer. When looking on here people say it's a scam but I can't understand how it can be. If they are sending you the money via the courier and they take the item why is it a scam. Not yet replied. Hoping someone can explain.
an anonymous userhttps://www.onlinethreatalerts.com/users/#an-anonymous-userJul 10, 2022 by Chronopost Scam Facebook Marketplace Warningan anonymous user from: Almondsbury, Bristol, England, United KingdomThink about it. Why would someone buy something. I was selling a guitar for £50, without even seeing it. Plus my conversation was exactly the same, except for asking about condition. I smelt a rat and googled chronopodt scam UK, to get here.

Then, guess what…? …. no courier, no cronopost, no envelope stuffed with cash (as if this would be a thing anyway!!?? 🤣) and after wasting a lot of time …no selling your item either!!!

an anonymous userhttps://www.onlinethreatalerts.com/users/#an-anonymous-userMay 13, 2022 by Chronopost Scam Facebook Marketplace Warningan anonymous user from: West Yorkshire, England, United KingdomThe real part of the scam is that they ask you to pay the insurance up front and they say that they will add this to the sale price.
