A Summerville man reported a scam to police on April 12th.  According to a report released this week, Jacob Bankston came to the Summerville Police Department and said that a female using the name “Gloria Vanessa Simon” had used Facebook marketplace to scam him out of $1,000.  Bankston said that the seller requested a $500 deposit through Apple pay as a down payment on a vehicle.  Bankston sent the money and then received a message from the scammer saying that the payment had been canceled due to a delay in accepting the funds.  Bankston then sent another $500 to a friend of his to forward to the seller.  It turns out, the seller received both payments and then blocked both Bankston and his friend on Facebook.  The incident was turned over to an investigator with the Summerville Police Department.
