These are the rules of the game. When you respond to ads in classifieds, you have to keep that in mind before you even begin. Otherwise, you will see "liars" everywhere.
Ive never heard that before but I wondered it. Ive never met someone selling on marketplace who didnt have something to sell. So what happens? You go there and instead of a bike for sale there is a table with playing cards and snacks?
