After that, he revealed more details about the situation that afflicts him, which would have a woman as its protagonist. “The truth is that I feel super stupidbut these things happen,” he said.
This was the scam that had Jorge Aldoney as its victim
To which he added: “I tried to sell a iPad Pro with all its accessories… on Facebook Marketplace, … what the girl did was talk to me on Marketplace, I gave her my number, everything was fine.”
After this, the woman asked him to “take down the post to make sure. It turns out that she asked me to upload the post to Mercado Libre, but he was not the only person…”.
According to what the alleged buyer told her, she asked her for this so that she could use credit from the sales page or to be able to pay in installments. After that, the woman told her that the purchase process was already complete, so she would receive a verification email.
“Technically I gave her all my data so she could fake an email“, said Jorge Aldoney.
“I received a confirmation email that a mobile phone was coming to look for the issue, with all the links and all the codes… But the difference was that I didn’t notice at that moment… and the mails were @gmail.com“he said, when the email should have been associated with Mercado Libre.
The former Big Brother contestant, because he did not realize this at the time, continued with the process and handed over the equipment, and waited 24 to 48 hours to receive the money in his account, which never happened.
“It’s unfortunate, I hope it doesn’t happen to you.“, Jorge Aldoney concluded.
