Hi, Everyone

I should post this warning about a scam using Facebook Marketplace. I advertised 2 Memory Chips on Marketplace for a laptop for a total of 鈧�80. I had a response within the day. The buyer then asked for the item to be collected by Toll Group Express. Once I agreed I was informed that I would have to pay insurance before the collection could be made. This was 鈧�160.00. I was then told that when the items were collected the money would include a refund for the 鈧�160 insurance costs. I checked online this appears to be a scam, nobody would pay 鈧�160 for insurance for an 鈧�80 item.
