🚨 Heads up, Wales! 🚨 There’s been a rise in thefts tied to Facebook Marketplace in the Pembrokeshire and Ceredigion areas. Dyfed-Powys Police are urging everyone to be extra cautious if you’re selling items online, especially motorbikes or E-bikes. In just a few weeks, five motorbikes and an E-bike vanished after being listed online.
Here’s the scam: a supposed buyer reaches out for your address under the pretext of viewing or buying your item, and shortly after, the item is mysteriously stolen. Three men have been arrested regarding these shady activities, but investigations are ongoing.
For those actively selling or considering it, here’s some essential advice:
1. Always meet in a public place for any viewings or exchanges.
2. Be wary of new or incomplete profiles.
3. Stick to secure payment methods.
