    Hi,

    I’m just wondering if someone else had the same situation as mine. I accepted an offer from someone on adverts and told me she’s going to pay Anpost postage and the money for that item, then she send me a link when I opened was showing Anpost some number.world and asked me for my card details I entered my revolut with no money on it and asked me to have €100 on the card so I thought it’s a scam. This person has 100+ positive reviews on adverts, I just don’t understand. It’s very weird, maybe some explain🙏Thank you!
    Edit: I reported this scammer already on adverts, be aware of his username❗️❗️❗️

    And she accepted to pay on revolut when I gave her my link I think she blocked me, the offer is gone and when I go on her profile all her adds disappeared. So so strange😅

    If she is gone, then adverts removed them

    Basic rule of the internet, if someone sends you a link that has a webpage to enter your card details, 99.9% of the time it's a scam.

    Its completely scam. You may be blocked so you cant see it anymore but other people might. Also 100% positive feedback dont matter much as account may be bought off or created exactly for scam purposes. You should contact adverts and describe situation to them so they can have a look at what that person does. You can try to log in with someone else to see if that person can see the one who tried to do this to you.
