By Breaking Belize News Staff: A Belmopan man reported losing $150 after ordering three folding tables through Facebook, only for the seller’s account to disappear shortly after he transferred the money.
Police say a 49-year-old man saw a post on August 19 from an account advertising folding tables for $50 each.
The man reportedly contacted the seller through Messenger and agreed to purchase three tables. He then transferred $150 to a bank account provided by the seller and was told the tables could be collected after 6:00 p.m. that evening.
However, when the man checked Facebook at around 6:30 p.m., he reportedly discovered that the account had been deleted along with their Messenger conversation.
Tatum told police he has neither received the tables nor heard from the seller since. The matter was reported as obtaining a money transfer by deception; however, the police report states that Tatum did not request court action.
