Oh Heck, I Look Like a Scammer

Scamicide recently talked about a “free piano scam” where the scammer gifts the victim a piano for free—if the victim pays delivery costs northwards of $600—in advance. Guess what never gets delivered?

The post goes on to say:

“A big indication that this is a scam is that the moving company asks for payment by Zelle or cryptocurrencies.  No legitimate business asks for payment by Zelle or cryptocurrencies, but scammers often do because of the anonymity for these types of payments and the difficulty in tracing or reversing payments made in this manner.”

Well, Bredemarket doesn’t REQUIRE Zelle…but I take it. (No crypto.)
