Police investigating Facebook Marketplace scams and last updated 2021-01-26 19:20:39-05 RAYNE, La. â The Rayne Police Department is looking into several complaints after residents have been scammed via Facebook Marketplace. The department posted an update on Facebook saying "In each of the incidents, the scammer placed an item for sale, usually for about $100, and offered to deliver the item after receiving payment." After the interested buyers sent the seller the money via a third-person app, the delivery never came, and the selling account was usually deleted. RPD says that in order to not fall victim to this situation, it is important to not send any money until you are in possession of the item you've purchased. Additionally, they are encouraging users to pay via Facebook Checkout, PayPal, or other platforms that protect against scams.
