Is the buyer asking you to "run errands" a scam?

[evelynnh]

Hello! 

I'm new here and got an inquiry from a buyer that wanted me to buy stuff from Walmart, etc and "run errands" for them as a Virtual Assistant. They wanted to communicate outside the platform and I refused, now they're asking me if I have a bank account for the "daily payments to run the errands" (???) Has someone been in a similar situation?

Hi there..

It seems you make a correct decision by rejecting this buyer offer.

I never got a request like this.., but i got similar experience when buyer ask strange and complicated request.

Usually Buyer with this kind of behavior ends up as bad buyer.

 

Better to report and block this user. 🙂

Wish you luck.
