Alexandra Duffin was doing what thousands of Australians do every week. She listed her laptop on Facebook Marketplace, hoping to make a quick sale. What happened next is a textbook example of the PayID overpayment scam.
Not every Marketplace scam happens online. Some happen in a park, in a car park, in the time it takes someone to grab your phone and sprint into the darkness. This is the snatch and run.
Yes, 100% free. We're a community safety initiative, not a business. We believe everyone deserves to transact safely on Facebook Marketplace, regardless of their budget. If you'd like to support us, you can buy us a coffee.
Most verifications are completed within 24-48 hours. If you're in a hurry, let us know in your submission and we'll prioritize where possible.
Our 5-point verification system checks: account age, activity patterns, profile completeness, listing history, and cross-references against known scam patterns. We look for red flags that most people wouldn't know to check for.
Absolutely. We never share your personal information or the details of your verification request with anyone. Your email is only used to send you the results.
We're sorry to hear that. Please report the scam to help us warn others. You should also contact your bank immediately, report to Scamwatch, and file a police report. Future verifications are always free for scam victims.
We do this for free because we want safer online marketplaces for everyone. If we've helped you, consider buying us a coffee to keep the service running.
