After selling my dress on Facebook Marketplace I realised my mistake but the courier said it couldn’t intervene
I sold my wedding dress, worth £2,000, on Facebook marketplace, and it was only after the parcel was collected by Parcelforce that I realised I’d been scammed.
It was due to be delivered the following morning and its offices were already shut so I spoke with an agent on the out-of-hours chat and explained it was critical the delivery be cancelled. They promised to put the request in writing but nothing could be guaranteed.
