Yup I was scammed on OfferUp

Just like the title says. It finally happened. I was scammed on offer up, I was being so careful too and doing my research.

So I was on the hunt for a pull out couch bed situation. Found one at Costco for $1000 but hesitated to pull the trigger. Since I hesitated I went back to Costco to get it, of course no more stock in all the area. This lead me to look on offer up. As I’m sitting here scrolling through all the pictures, shocked, I found the exact couch for $600!!

Immediately I message the person. I look at the profile amazing reviews and it says small business.

I look up the business on the Secretary of State website, find it is a legit business and find the owners name.

The business is DISCOUNT FURNISHINGS the owners name is JOEL. You can find all his info on the business search at the WA Secretary of State website. (This is why I thought he was legit.)

Be warned this guy will tell you he just works for them, although according to WA state, he is the owner. He “”works with a warehouse”” and he we deliver “”unopened”” boxes.

Really he is delivering the wrong product and will lead you on thinking he is working with a warehouse to correct the problem.

Come to find out he is a known scammer and will gladly take your money and give you a TEMU (or equivalent) product.

Don’t be a dumba** like me and fall for anything he sells from Discount Furnishings in Seattle/Renton/Tacoma.

I now see he does have a BBB complaint, I filed my own etc.

But the least I can do is warn people in the area.
