Marketplace overpayment

Example output

Flagsly assessment

SCAM

This message shows strong signs of a scam.

Confidence
High

Red flags found

3 signals
  1. It claims an overpayment and asks you to send back the difference before confirming the original payment.
  2. It relies on a payment email instead of a balance visible inside the marketplace.
  3. It creates urgency so you refund money before checking whether any payment is real.

What to do next

Do not refund or ship anything. Confirm payment only inside the marketplace app.

  • Crypto “recovery”

    Promises to recover lost funds in exchange for another payment.

  • Romance scams

    Fast emotional pressure followed by requests for money or help.

  • Phishing links

    Lookalike links designed to steal logins or payment details.
