In most reports, people say they searched for party rentals on social media, including Facebook Marketplace, and found a “vendor” who appeared to be legit.Then, you agree on a date for the vendor to drop off the supplies, but they never show up! One person said they paid a scammer nearly $1,600 for wedding supplies, but they were left empty-handed.The BBB says there are some things you can do to protect yourself.
First, be wary of anyone selling services on social media, especially if they refuse to meet in person. If you DO find a vendor on social media, do your research. Search for an official website or reviews from other customers.Most legitimate businesses will let you pay with a credit card, which makes it easier to dispute the charges if something goes wrong.
