Be aware of fb flower service

Julie, on July 18, 2022 at 22:10 Posted in Plan a wedding 0 5
Please be aware of the following, misleading FB flower service being advertised. This person on FB Marketplace was advertising faux bridal flowers. Gave me prices, pictures and even offered to give me an invoice. The person requested a 50% deposit ($75), which I thought nothing of until the transfer would not go through for them. The person asked me why I cancelled the transfer, which I hadnt. I tried stop the transfer but an error kept coming up that it could not cancel a transaction in process. Immediately my mind started racing. So i figured I'd call my bank to stop the etransfer and reissue the etransfer. Only to find out from my bank that this person 's account has been flagged by their bank as suspicious etransfer activity. That they had several names and email accounts registered to that bank account. 😬 The bank asked if I had met this person, in person, which i didnt. Luckily my bank was able to see that I dont normally do odd etransfers like that, so they stopped the etransfer for me and refunded my money. The FB person kept asking me if it was cancelled/reissued. I didnt even bother to reply so I just blocked them. Looking at the FB account now, i didnt even see the red flag. This FB account had only been registered in 2022. Told me they were actually located in Mississauga and not Toronto 😕 Just be careful to anyone asking for a deposit. Im not saying all are shady. All legit vendors will give u a website, instagram or FB account to view their work. Be aware of fb flower service 1

    Of course! I definitely dont want any bride/groom to get scammed during this exciting process. I dont want to paint a bad picture to self vendors, as i am grateful for they do what they do. It is those shady handful that make it hard to trust. Glad you were lucky to find someone willing to meet you in person

    Thank you for sharing that with us. I hired someone on FB marketplace but she only requests the money the day of pick up. I was able to see my bouquet because I had doubts and found them too dark, so she said that seeing them in person might change my mind, very luck it's not a scam. I did find a photographer on facebook, he has a website and contract but I haven't seen any updated photos from weddings this years so I am a little nervous.
