I got scammed on FB Marketplace, need advice..

Long story short, I send money by Twint to a person on Facebook Marketplace and he disappeared. Is there anything I can do? I imagine his Twint number is linked with his bank account so the police could find out who he is if they want to. What's the best way to deal with this?

I guess many of you curious to know how it happened, or how stupid I am, so here it is. Scammers on FB marketplace are typically new account, without much infomation in the profile, give address in a remote place and push for delivery instead of collecting at home. This guy doesn't raise any of these red flags, the FB account is since 2016, and he encouraged me to come and collect the goods. Only when I say I couldn't come then he told me he can send by post.

All in all, my theory is that people would not scam knowing that the bank account - phone number - Twint number are all linked to their ID. But I was wrong this time I guess...

Completely possible they're just busy. Did you offer to pay for postage?

How long has it been? Things happen.

If his account is still there, you can send a message and see if everything is okay, and confirm he got payment.

Don't panic, it won't help.
