    I had a similar experience with Offer Up. Someone offered to buy a dress and offered to pay me more than I had asked. Someone was supposed to pick it up. Then a second email said the “agent” had mistakenly made the check out for $1800. Would I cash the check and refund the difference to the agent. Of course I didn’t do that, knowing the check would bounce. I cancelled the transaction. Never heard from them again.
