Woman warns TikTok after Facebook Marketplace seller tried \u201cluring\u201d her into basement TikTok\/coffeetillvodka\/PixabayA woman is going viral for exposing the potentially dangerous situation she was in picking up a jacket from a seller on Facebook Marketplace. Buying items on Facebook has become a more modern version of the garage sale, letting people purchase things after coming to an agreement through chat, but that doesn\u2019t mean there aren\u2019t risks involved. Like with meeting anyone over the internet, you never know what you could be getting yourself into when you agree to go to a stranger\u2019s house and one woman is sharing her own experience after a scary situation. In a TikTok clip, Ali, otherwise known as \u2018coffeetillvodka,\u2019 revealed that buying a jacket for her daughter on Facebook almost took a dark turn when the man selling the item tried to \u201clure\u201d her into his basement. TikToker calls police after scary incident with Facebook Marketplace seller According to \u2018coffeetillvodka,\u2019 she had arranged to meet at a man\u2019s house to buy a jacket and when she showed up, all the lights in the home were off. Eventually, a man came out and seemed confused as to why the woman was even at his house, even when she said she was there for the jacket. \u201cIt was already a little weird that he didn\u2019t have the jacket there waiting for me. He pretended he didn\u2019t know what it was even though we were just texting,\u201d she said. Then things got weirder. Ali revealed the man asked her to go around the house and down to the basement suite, because that\u2019s supposedly where the jacket was. \u201cAlarm bells started to ring. Why did this man not have this jacket ready for me? Why did he want me to go to his basement suite?\u201d she shivered. After asking the man to go get the jacket for her, he seemed taken aback, but reached into the doorway to grab the jacket she had shown up for. \u201cAnd that is when my legs kind of turned to jello and ice ran through my veins,\u201d she said, recounting how the man still tried to get her to go down to the basement, suggesting there could be something else down there she would want. Users in the comments began urging Ali to call the police and she did just that. In a follow-up video, the TikToker revealed that a constable told her she was right to feel freaked out. \u201cIt sounds like luring,\u201d she recalled the conversation, but added that the police told her the seller didn\u2019t have a criminal record and the individual wasn\u2019t using his real name. While the constable did say he was going to look into the matter, so far, it doesn\u2019t seem like any arrests have been made and Ali has yet to provide another update just yet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
