Just wanted to warn everyone about a scam going around on Facebook Marketplace in the Okanagan Valley, Canada (but it could be happening elsewhere too).
Someone is listing Herman Miller chairs for a good price and seems legit—polite, responsive, and not pushy at first. They only ask for a small deposit at the last minute to "secure the item" before you pick it up. I fell for it, sent the deposit, and when I arrived at the given address, it turned out to be a random person’s house with no idea what was going on. The seller, of course, ghosted me after that.
Don’t make the same mistake I did—never send a deposit before seeing the item in person! If you see similar listings, be extra cautious. Stay safe out there!
