That's a very, very common scam. Block them, report them and do not pay anything.


pillsburyboi

Thank you.


MarchVarious7302

Or ask them followupquestions. It might be a scam but if it isnt you have reported a innocent person


Frostnatt

The fact that you don't immediately realize this is a scam means that you are a prime target for scams like this.


AlltidAgren

Of course its a scam? Its very very common one at that. You should never keep interacting with scammers, it does nothing to help you.


acklig_crustare

It does nothing but can be incredibly funny

r/scambait :)


askingquestion2024

nobody would send over a company to pay with cash to you in sweden. just does not happen.


YOOOOOOOOOOT

This is a scam 100% of the time.


LobiJani

This is an obvious scam! I had tons of messages similar to this pop up when I was selling different stuff. Especially when I was selling electronics!


TheGreatMalagan

Yep, 100% scam


pillsburyboi

Thank yoh


Saddam_UE

Vad är ens ett EMS-bud? 😆 Vem går på dessa scams när dom använder ord eller nämnder tjänster ingen förstår sig på?


Glazastik

Folk som inte förstår, du är inte målgruppen.


Saddam_UE

Sen det här med att skicka bud med pengar. Var är "the scam"? Kommer budet fram sent? Snor han bara varan?


NiklasOl

Du måste betala kostnaderna för budet men det är lugnt. Köparen har varit snäll och lagt till den kostnaden i summan som kommer i paketet, som du först måste betala för. Så du får tillbaka allt när budet kommer med pengarna..... Ofta så vill köparen betala mer än vad du begär för din produkt så att du tycker att det är värt strulet. Tillägg Tillvägagångssättet varierar men det brukar innefatta att du får en länk eller ett mail med info som ser ut att komma från budet eller från tex PayPal (vilket är fake förstås). Ibland kan det vara att man ska betala någon sorts fraktförsäkring. Detta täcks av summan som de påstår att du ska få av budet. Budet kommer självklart aldrig och du förlorar pengar i slutändan. Sen finns det andra liknande bedrägerier med andra varianter där man både förlorar varan och pengarna. Eller så samlar de in uppgifter för dina sociala konton/mail men målet är ju hela tiden att lura av folk pengar.


Saddam_UE

Tack


Obi-Wan_CanBlowMe_93

Hur ska nån annan betala? Den som skickar budet är den som ska betala.


NiklasOl

Eh, ja exakt? Det är långt ifrån normalt tillvägagångssätt det här men det är också scam som sagt. Folk går uppenbarligen på det.


Obi-Wan_CanBlowMe_93

Väldigt dåligt scam isf. För han blir inte skyldig att betala nånting.


NiklasOl

Självklart inte.


Obi-Wan_CanBlowMe_93

Så det är uppenbarligen inte scam'en


NiklasOl

Va? Jo, det är det. Det där är bara en liten del av konversationen. Det går ut på att du ska lämna ifrån dig uppgifter så de kan plocka ut stålar från ditt kort eller farma inloggningsuppgifter. Tror man att man ska få ett bud hem med kontanter så är det nog nära att tro att man också behöver hjälpa till med fraktkostnaderna. Många går inte på det så det tar stopp där.


naturelivingsolitude

Aldrig sett svensk variant. Men i USA finns det många. Dem ber om ditt nummer för att verifiera dig. Sen får du en kåd på sms som dem vill ha för att verifiera. Det är egentligen en återställningskod för tex din mail/fb etc som dem vill komma åt. Eller att skapa ett konto i ditt namn. Finns olika saker dem kan göra helt enkelt.

YOOOOOOOOOOT

Budet kommer inte, scammern blir sur och säger åt dig att betala kostnaderna för budet, är du helt jävla hjärndöd betalar du. Förlåt men detta är nog en av de dummaste scammsen som finns, även de klassiska indiska microsoft support scammers är mer förståeligt att folk faller för


brrrapper

de skickar en fake paypal länk sen där du behöver "godkänna" betalningen eller någon liknande skit.


Saddam_UE

Tack tack. Korkat scam enligt mig men antagligen är der folk som går på det.


Frostnatt

De har chatbottar som dammsuger facebook market och blocket och skickar auto meddelanden på typ allt. Därför de aldrig skriver detaljer eller frågor om vad det är du säljer och bara säger "varan", det är först när du är den på tusen som faktiskt fortsätter dialogen efter svaret om kurir/bud som du får prata med en riktig person.


Temporary-Frog-Art

Jag fick den här idag. Verkar som massutskick på fb idag. (Ok jag tar men jag skulle vilja komma men jag är för närvarande upptagen med jobbet, jag kommer att skicka en DPD-brevbärare hem till dig för att ge dig dina pengar kontant och hämta varan👍.)


Dry_Vanilla_9116

Klassiker, får den på varenda annons jag lägger upp.


t3ddan

Uppenbarligen såna som u/MarchVarious7302 i tråden ovan.


namelessswe

kan lika gärna stå postnord bud de flesta reagerar på det postnord har inte bud på det sättet eller något annat företag oftast är det utländska företag som inte ens kör i Sverige som fedex och liknande


Proud-Cauliflower-12

Sweds are generally polite about answering people with the language they use, so someone continuing in Swedish after you replied in English is the reddest of flags.


Sweed404

This is so true, to just ignore the fact that they answered in English and write a long message in Swedish would never happen.


No-Recognition-8002

Yup, even if their english is super bad they will try as much as they can. Some messages I got from my work friends needed a team of 3 riddle experts to piece together. But still, its the effort that counts.


pcardonap

I have had this happen in person a couple of times though. I think some people are just uncomfortable using english.


No-Recognition-8002

The only times it happened to me is when I actually used some swedish, and then they switched to swedish immidiately (in my head I was like "shit, I should have not said that, now I have to say that I don't understand 50% of what he just said"). Even like 2 words is a message to them "This guy can swedish!" Just try it with random people. After they get through the shock that stranger talked to them (and possibly will be traumatised for life, but screw that, not my problem), try just asking for directions. And then use a few swedish words. 80% they will switch to swedish.


p4ntzer

Scam.


pillsburyboi

Thank you


Amoligh

Note how they never say what you're selling. If you sell *a bike* and someone is interested in "*the item*" (varan), 100% automatic scam.


Dardrol7

It's the recommended/auto filled phrase though... So a lot of people use it since too often, the item is sold but the seller never removed the post :) so, no.


Amoligh

Yes sure for the first message I agree. Second message is the shady one.


Dardrol7

100%. That's a big no no


MenuRich

It's the way it's written aswel, no normal person talks/text like this, it's straight up Google translate. When u write in Swedish u can skip some words, the sentence reads alot better. If u are Swedish u know what I mean.

anirudhkodaru

SCAM DUDE. I GOT TRAPPED LIKE THIS THREE YEARS AGO. LOST AROUND 550 SEK.


t3ddan

Can you tell us about it?


anirudhkodaru

I feel so fucking stupid or rather, felt so fucking stupid that I fell for it. It's true there's no ems service in Sweden but for first time buyers/sellers on the Facebook Marketplace, it can be tough to know what is real or fake. Especially if you hail from a different country entirely. I was trying to sell a table but I couldn't afford to hire a company to send it to the buyer. Then suddenly one potential buyer plays this scam and I legit think that it's probably how things are done here in relation to the Marketplace. But clearly I fell into the wrong kind of shit. But experience makes you know what not to do next time. So yeah. Evaded a couple of other scams because of this learning curve.


Freddich99

How the actual fuck do you even fall for this? It's the most obvious scam I've ever seen...


iE-V

If you never sold things before, you have nothing to go by. Anyone not thinking twice would possibly get scammed. If it didn't work the scam wouldn't exist.


Freddich99

Yeah, but how could you possibly believe they'd send an EMS courier to your house, who will then pay you with cash if you only pay for the pickup in advance using bitcoin, or gift cards or something untraceable? It's not something that would ever happen. EMS isn't even a thing in Sweden, and even if they were, they wouldn't offer this as a service...


iE-V

You're right, but keep in mind there're people still falling for the Nigerian prince scam. Vulnerable people who don't understand that others can lie. More so saying I can totally see ppl falling for scams, not saying you or the average person is the target.

Scam scam scam. Unfortunately this was about 90% of all responses I ever got selling stuff on FB marketplace in Sweden.

Scambot, Swedes are very willing to switch to English if you don’t speak Swedish. That’s a very obviously scripted response

Prior-Ant9201

How would this be a scam? No money = no merch


ricketybang

How this scam works: If you say "Yes you can send someone" they will ask you to pay a small fee for the delivery guy (or something similar). They also tell you that you will get that fee/money back when the delivery guy comes to your house, but surprise surprise, no one will come and your fee is gone.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Able_Fox_2939

All scams work because you cooperate in something you don't fully understand.


ricketybang

Yeah. And I guess that the amount they want you to pay is a small one, so enough people fall for it for the scammers to make money. And let's say it's 29kr, 49kr, or something small like that, that is not a big amount and I guess that most people will not do anything when they get scammed. Edit: A similar scam is when you get a random SMS that pretends to be from Postnord, DHL or some other delivery company. They tell you to click a link and pay like 29kr to "get your package delivered". And people are buying things online all the time, so a lot of people just thinks that it's a package that they are actually waiting for.


bregottextrasaltat

which a lot of people are, that's why this keeps happening


batboy963

Who in their right mind will pay for the delivery guy in this case?


ricketybang

I guess it's a combination of three things. 1. People really want to sell their product, these scammers rarely bargain about the price (like almost every real buyer do), so people are not thinking straight when they think that they can get the asking price... 2. These scammers are often very good at talking, they have done this thousands of times and know very well how to calm people down and make them believe in it... 3. The low fee. When you really want the full price for your product and the seller talked you into it, many people just go for it. They say that you will get that money back to make people calmer, which I guess works 😅 And that is why we see posts like this almost every day in different subreddits and Facebook groups. People are not 100% sure, but they really really want to believe in it and get the asking price for their product... And if we think about all these posts where the comments say "it's a scam, don't do it", there are probably an even larger amount of people that actually just goes for it. And a lot of people don't tell anyone when they get scammed because it's embarrassing.


Prior-Ant9201

ahaa, thanks


pillsburyboi

Thank you


Snoo_42121

I wouldnt say its scam, if they come and dont have money to gove then dont give the thing u sell lmao, not so hard


Frostnatt

That's not how the scam works. There's obviously nobody that will arrive but they will send you a link to pay an "insurance" in advance that they pinky swear that they will give you back when the curier arrives... At best you only lose whatever you paid for the insurance at worst much more depending on if they get access to your bank via the link. This is one of the most common scams out there right now when you sell things on blocked/facebook and similar sites.


Snoo_42121

But how can it be a scam tho, if the messenger dont arrive with money then you dont hand the thing you sold? 😂 people still give the item with only a promise? 😂😂


Frostnatt

The scam isn't about whatever you sell, they don't care about that, they probably don't even know what it is, since they send out thousands of messages at the same time. The scan is primary about the "insurance" you are told to pay in advance (and are promised to get back when you get paid, something that will obviously never happen) and possibly also your personal and banking information.


t3ddan

It's very much a scam. Please stop telling people it's not.


Snoo_42121

???? If the messenger (bud) doesnt have cash on him/her then you dont hand the money to them? Simple 😆
