SELLING ONLINE CAN be a risky business, but this is one of the more unique pitfalls that can befall you.

Spotted on the ‘Tralee buy sell swap’ Facebook page earlier today was this tempting offer:

The post has since been deleted because of the obvious fact that the credit code was there for all to see.

Now, maybe selling phone credit on Facebook is indeed a good idea, but if you’re going to do it you might not want to give everyone access to the goods before payment has been made. It’s a recipe for disaster.
