$8,000 Gone: A Local Online Shopping Scam Story


Bill thought he found a great deal on a shipping container through Facebook Marketplace. It looked legit—local, affordable, and exactly what he needed.


But to lock in the price, he had to wire the money upfront. That one payment cost him nearly $8,000. 💸


Now, he’s sharing his story on the Joe Knows Better podcast to help others avoid the same fate.


📅 May 8 is BBB Scam Survivor Day, where we highlight real stories like Bill’s to raise awareness and protect our community.
