A victim attempted to purchase shoes for $205 after seeing an Instagram advertisement. Communication moved to WhatsApp and FaceTime audio, where the suspect sent $2 via Chime to falsely establish trust. After the victim sent a partial payment of $105 via Apple Pay, the suspect disconnected the call and blocked the victim on all platforms.
Prevention Tip: Never use person-to-person payment apps like Apple Pay, Zelle, or Venmo to buy items from strangers, as these transactions often lack fraud protection. |
