So I'm selling some headphones on FB marketplace for £200. Someone is interested but working so wants to send cash with Chronopost to collect item. 

Am I right to be suspicious? I've never heard of Chronopost tbh but surely if they've got cash it's not a issue and I only release item when I have the cash.

It’s a scam, move on. There’s a similar thread running at the moment on here, it’s a fairly common and very old scam.
