A sale on Facebook Marketplace turned into a nightmare for
Hugo Dumas, a columnist at La Presse<\/a>. While he was trying to sell his iPhone 16 Pro Max, a buyer entered his home and discreetly swapped the device for a Chinese clone. A scenario that highlights the growing risks of peer-to-peer transactions.<\/p>

The buyer, introducing himself as Sacha, used a mundane excuse asking to use the bathroom to get inside the house. After a series of unsettling questions and a feigned attempt at making a transfer, he left with nothing\u2026 or almost nothing. It was only during the visit of a second, more experienced buyer that the scam was uncovered: the phone left in the seller\u2019s possession was a convincing fake<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Law enforcement agencies are reporting a clear increase in incidents linked to Marketplace. In eastern Montreal, these crimes rose by 34% between 2024 and 2025, a trend representative of the entire island, according to SPVM commander Iad Hanna.<\/p>

\u201cThese thefts are becoming increasingly organized and are often used to finance more serious criminal activities,\u201d<\/i><\/b> the commander told La Presse. Physical assaults during such exchanges are also on the rise, including cases involving pepper spray, bladed weapons, or even firearms.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

PlanHub\u2019s tips for safe transactions<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

In light of these dangers, a few basic precautions are essential. The first rule is to always choose a public, well-frequented place<\/b> for the transaction. The SPVM has also set up around twenty secure exchange zones, located near police stations and under video surveillance.<\/p>

It is also strongly recommended to avoid hosting the buyer at your home at all costs<\/b>. During the meeting, carefully inspect both the product and the payment, with a preference for cash. If there is any doubt about the other person\u2019s behavior, it is best to cancel the sale outright.<\/p>

In addition, use platforms specialized in buying and selling phones<\/b> in order to secure your transaction.<\/p>

Finally, filing a complaint remains essential<\/b>, even if the chances of recovering the item seem slim. This allows law enforcement to better map scam methods and adapt their response.<\/p>

The apparent ease of online transactions should not overshadow the most basic rules of caution. In a second-hand market that is increasingly exposed to fraud, vigilance remains the best protection.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
