Wallapop Scam Backfires: Seller's Clever Revenge Goes Viral
A Wallapop Scam in Spain: How One Seller Turned the Tables Recently, a seller in Spain narrowly avoided a scam on the online marketplace Wallapop. Javi Ribas, a content creator, listed a chair for sale. A potential buyer contacted him, requesting additional photos and eventually the listing link, claiming to have accidentally deleted their chat history. Ribas, suspecting something was amiss, requested a small fee of €5 to resend the link. The buyer agreed, triggering Ribas's suspicions. "I knew something wasn't right," Ribas explained in his video. "The buyer sent a screenshot that looked like a payment confirmation, but it was clearly fake." Instead of falling victim, Ribas decided to play along. He sent a fake address filled with humorous details, including "McDonald's nuggets" and "your grandmother's house." The buyer, realizing the scam, immediately blocked Ribas. Ribas's story serves as a cautionary tale for online shoppers and sellers. Always be wary of unusual requests and verify payments before releasing goods or sharing personal information. His clever response highlights the importance of staying vigilant against online fraud.
