Type of a scam Online Purchase

I posted three items of furniture for sale on the app Wallapop, and got a response of interest. They wanted to communicate by email. They were going to send me a check overnight, I was to cash it right away, take the money owed me, and then wire the rest of an address in San Francisco who supposedly was the mover. Then I was supposed to receive shipping instructions regarding pickup. I never received a check. I was even given a bogus tracking number that identified the package as priority mail, that was making its way through other states. I’m not sure if even the post office tracking site was hacked. There was a second buyer who expressed interest, and they wanted to communicate by text. It was a 506 area code, which is either New Brunswick or Costa Rica. They too were going to send an inflated check, that I was to cash right away. Now they are harassing me via email that I have stolen their money,. I blocked their email address (they’re using gmail), and they set up another one. I have reported them to Wallapop, removed my listing and my account, but the harassment continues……..

Type of a scam Online Purchase

I was trying to sell my things on Wallapop app. the scammers wanted me to delete the listing and the scammers said that they will send the movers to pick up the order of my listing. They just want the money from me to the movers fund. I called mover money fund company, the company said that is fake, and they don’t do that.
