⚠️ Scam warning — Kindle seller on Threads
Posting this as a warning for anyone in the PH book community who might be looking for a Kindle or other book-related items.
I found this account on Threads, @kristinlozano143, selling a Kindle. The transaction initially seemed legitimate, so I decided to purchase. I sent the payment through QR, but shortly after the payment was made, the seller deactivated their Threads account, and I could no longer contact the seller.
I’ve already contacted my bank regarding the transaction and am currently reporting the incident to the necessary parties. I’m keeping all screenshots, messages, payment records, and other details as evidence.
I’m sharing the account here so others can be cautious and avoid sending payment until the seller and transaction have been properly verified.
I honestly just wanted to buy myself a Kindle, and it’s really upsetting to have this happen. I hope posting this can prevent someone else from experiencing the same thing.
Please be careful when buying from sellers on Threads, especially when payment is requested upfront through QR
