What's the deal with all the scammers right now? People will literally try anything to get money from you. Recently, a Minnesota woman inquiring about fresh eggs realized she was being scammed and decided to turn the tables on the scammer. The woman then screenshotted her online conversation and posted it as an educational opportunity, hoping no one else would be swindled.

Sazzy Lee Varga, posted her scammer experience to the Farm Direct MN page, as an educational tool for group members.

It all started with an innocent post about fresh eggs for sale.

Sazzy posted to the group, Farm Direct Minnesota:

PSA- Folks have asked how the s p a m post works. I had some time this morning so I did this little messaging with a person who said they had eggs!

Never pay upfront for something like this. If it feels weird it is weird. (Note- My hubby is not PD). Police were not sent anywhere folks, it was just part of the setup in the message for this eggsellant caper!

After that primer, Sazzy laid out the screenshotted conversation between her and the would-be scammer. (I asked Sazzy if I could share her post with you, as the group is private, but her post is a great reminder)

Sazzy is the blue bubble, and the scammer, whose ID I left off is the gray bubble in the following screengrabs.

The screenshots ended with Sazzy calling a spade a spade with her remark about eggs and SPAM.

It's crazy to think people are going to try and scam you out of $15-20 for eggs.

Be careful out there!
