I saw an ad on FB Marketplace for a Milwaukee tool, charger, and battery that I was interested in. He required me to message him privately. After some back and forth with me trying to determine if it was legit or not, I sent him $150 thru ApplePay for the tools. It got weird after that. He required that I screenshot the payment and send it to him. He asked whether I preferred UPS or FedEX for delivery and then sent me a message saying that SwiftRouteGlobal.com was the shipper and gave me a tracking number with them. When I checked the tracking number, it said the package was on hold. When I asked him about the hold, he said to go to their website and message them to request the hold be released. I messaged them several times using the website's "contact them". No answer even with several messages sent. Come to find out from the seller that I had to enter my message into a chat with them, that popped up occasionally. When I entered the chat, they immediately requested that I send them $120 for an "insurance fee to cover unforseen damages or losses that may occur in the transit process." They claim that this will be fully refundable upon successful delivery of my shipment. This made me very suspicious and when I questioned them on this, they started responding with all caps. The responded that I should “KINDLY ASK OUR DETAILS TO PAY SO WE CAN GET PACKAGE OFF HOLD”. Using caps to “Kindly” ask them is a red flag to me. I continued chatting with them just to see where it would go and they finally sent me an ApplePay number of 224-421-8460 and requested that I “Send us a proof of payment when done!” I will not be doing that, have reported the original marketer to FB Marketplace as a scam, requested that he send my money back (I doubt that will happen), and will report SwiftRouteGlobal.com as a scam site as well.
