Years ago, a scammer could purchase a bank check for $6.00 ..... and then alter it with a fountain pen to turn the $6.00 into $60. and use the altered check to purchase some item that cost $25 from someone who was eager to sell the item plus give them $35 in change.
Definitely have to be more careful than ever, but I much prefer Facebook Marketplace as sellers can at least get an idea of the buyer.
