GLS Express Scam and Delivery Email on Facebook Marketplace
There are scammers taking people's Facebook account images and posing as potential buyers. They will request payID then send you an email or chat message saying the money has been sent but an error has occurred and demand you send the money back out of your bank account, even though you cannot see the money transferred into it. Another one is they make an excuse they have work commitments and will send a GLS Express service to bring the money and take the goods, but once again they want payID and a FAKE GLS company. They will send you an email asking you to pay insurance for the loss of the item, but these GLS SERVICES are fakes, therefore, do not send any money from your bank account.
