Help Identifying a Scam, I'm usually really good at identifying them and my gut is telling me this is bad. I would buy it through offerup shipping, any advice?

reddit.comI really heaaavily discourage buying any type of AirPods anywhere from a non-authorized seller. No, you’re not going to get a sealed pair of AirPod pros for $75. No, apple isn’t giving away truckloads of AirPods Pro’s to their employees for less than they cost to manufacture.

Apart from the obvious of what everyone else has already said, I generally don’t trust any account that joined that recently, has zero feedback, and only posts high ticket items in that way. No valid reason to run that risk

He just joined this month? it's a scam. No sales made no reviews? Scam. Make sure that when you do check for reviews as well as their friends. The friends are selling the exact same items what does indicative it's another profile of their own. I've seen that happen. Anyone who wants to text off the app scammer.They want you to contact then at this Gmail address, cuz the car they just posted they're selling for their aunt in a different state? Scammer. Oh look I am military, I'm so trustworthy. The car have on OfferUp I'm not going to use it cuz I'm to be deployed for another year so I'm going to sell it. I want you to wire, venmo, cashapp, etc. me the money so I can give you pink slip. I want to send you a Lincoln you're going to get a cold give it to me so that I can verify your identity. I just got an iPhone but I got another one for Christmas I'm giving this one away to someone who really needs it send me your story. Scam. Priced way too low for what it's worth? Damn. Is it a designer product and they're selling it from a ghetto neighborhood? Scam. p People who are rich will not sell their designer stuff at a discount they all believe that tends to increase in value or they'll sell it close to the price they paid. And always watch for people locations cuz they can post and say they're anywhere and actually be at a different location so if you see a good item from a rich neighborhood anything is authentic and they ask you to meet up for the ghetto they're lying. Scam- tastica.

They're fake. Working at Apple doesn't mean you can get them at a steep discount. It's also against company policy to resell items you purchased at a discount.
thank you, taking time to just sit and think and read your comment made me realize just how stupid this is, but it is interesting how good the replicas are now
Many of them are made in the same factories since everything is made in China nowadays. When buying brand name items it's best to just buy direct from the company.
