A U of I student used Facebook Marketplace to sell clothing for $230 and was contacted by an interested buyer. The buyer sent $230 via Zelle, but the student never received the money. The buyer then asked the student to send $300 via Zelle because they overpaid, and the student complied. The buyer then requested an additional $500 from the student, who again complied. After receiving the second transaction, the buyer asked the student to share their bank account information. The student then realized they were being scammed, ceased contact with the scammer and contacted police.
