    Hi all

    looking for creative ways go about dealing with scammers on Facebook market place and done deal.

    it’s the same usual bs where they insist on getting shipping done right away, ask me for my email for “instructions” etc

    I want to annoy the crap out of them.

    Looking forward to some suggestions

    Honestly when I had more time I played with scammers on Done Deal, Deliberately didn't include option to text or call, Message only.

    God, there's some moronic clowns trying to scam on Done Deal, can't comment on other sites but you hear the stories.

    Unfortunately it takes to much time and energy to play with these idiots and really not worth wasting your time OP. You'll spot them a mile away, How long on Done Deal, Random user names, dreadful spelling (actually Hillarious) , clearly have not even read advert, enquiring about payment options without even asking the most basic questions on item being sold. Actually it's almost embarrassing and how anyone falls for it, is beyond me.

    Wouldn't waste your time but if determined play with them on the Messaging feature on your done deal Profile settings, Enjoy 😏

    Is maith an scáthán súil charad.

    I have no suggestions, as such other than to inform you in this day and age you are very much expected to deal with em. Now you can try to bargain them down but given the nature of the offense, my advice is to just call them out and (have them) walk away.

    A few years ago I was scammed out of $50 by an e-thot. I requested a video and we set up the deal, she then somehow took offence to something I said. I think I had said that I didn't like when sellers include their boyfriends in their content. She decided to take my $50 and not send the video. Given my rage I called her all sorts and Twitter banned me. Of course the soy boys on Twitter take the girls side.

    What a silly boy I was spending $50 on porn material. Nowadays if I am in the mood to waste money I just use Cameo.com. At least you get a shout out from a celebrity and not some e-thot.

    I was scammed many times during my e-thot days. By legit girls and occasionally by men using fake photos.
