Scam or not?

Selling a boot liner on Facebook and had the usual “still fs?” Message….

Replied yes, and then had the following….




Sounds dodgy to me….

Yep, next one will be you'll need to pay for "insurance" for the cash payment...
Delete and move on.

Block and move on.

Well known scam.

Does GLS even operate in Blighty? It's a European spin-off of the Royal Mail.

If you have time, string them along with random requests and see how far they take it.
I always enjoy wasting a scammers time

I'm pretty sure most carriers don't allow cash carrying.

Surely a GLS postman is the same as an LS postman, but comes with a velour uniform and a colour coded hat?

GLS operate here in France. The drivers are all normal civvies and not posties.
One thing they are good at is not being able to find an address. Utterly useless company.

Remember the days of COD, you would have to pay the Postman before he gave you your goods..

Apart from GLS, scammers love using Chronopost for cash on delivery items, despite the fact that Chronopost doesn't exist in the UK, although they are part of DPD.
