Bank Transfer

Mikekosnikowski

Hi all
I have paid 80 for goods but seem to be the subject of a Facebook scam. I used bank transfer as have before with this person where I received the goods first time, second time nothing and blocked on fb when I questioned what on earth was going on. Can I reclaim my money?  Thanks all.

No.  Always assume anything sold on Facebook is a scam and if not, paying by bank transfer is just like sending them cash in an envelope.

You can ask your bank to try and reverse the transfer, but it's highly likely there is nothing to recover. All you can really do it treat this as a learning experience

At least when sending cash you know where the recipient lives!

Id always buy anything on FB in person, I just don't trust people enough to pull a fast one.
