Scam Description
There is a woman who talks to me on GroupMe. She was in the same group class, so I thought she was in the same class as me at the University. She offered me the PlayStation 5 because her son just died, and that was a gift for him. I shared my empathy was her and was interested in the PlayStation too because I never have that before. She told me to send money for the delivery fee.
The way she talks about her son is too real and she convinces me to take that PlayStation. And when I pay for the expense. She never keeps the deal. Her name is Sophia Linda. But the one who received the money was Gedson Nascimento ( The name on the Zelle account). The phone for the Zelle account is 6314136689.
