Katie’s shock after an unexpected turn following her sale of a $10 item on Facebook Marketplace
A young mother in Canada had a strange experience while trying to sell an item on Facebook Marketplace. Katie Summers wanted to sell her baby daughter’s activity centre toy for $10. After listing it online, she received a message from a woman claiming to be a grandmother who wanted to buy the toy for her new grandchild. They arranged a contactless exchange, but when Katie suggested leaving the toy on her doorstep, the woman replied with a message about her husband asking for a divorce. Katie debated whether she was being scammed, but her husband believed the woman was trying to get the toy for free. The video of Katie sharing her experience on Facebook has gained over 47,000 views, with viewers divided on whether the woman was being genuine or trying to manipulate Katie.
