I buy/sell on Marketplace often. Never ran into any issues, probably because as soon as I notice a red flag I stop communication/block/gtfo. The number of people that ignore red flags and then swear off Marketplace altogether as if the mere existence of it is the reason they found themselves in trouble is just silly to me.
Exactly! FBMP is not the only place scary situations can occur. It was that way with Craigslist in the early 2000s, where everyone was saying how dangerous it was. It still exists and thrives without any major issues. It is the responsibility of the people who use a site to be watchful for their own safety. Anywhere can be dangerous, whether it's online or in your own driveway. 😔
I agree, most of the people are genuine. I have a few trying to scam me, but it's always the same messages/schemes, so I recognise and never had a problem. They are going more and more numerous, that's annoying. Other than that, I'm really happy that these second hand markets exist.
Same here. When I contact sellers to set a time & meet up place, I tell them right away that I dont do transactions at night nor will I ever go inside a home. Also I google the address once the seller gives it to me; if it looks sketchy in the google photo (like a lonely alley), I cancel.
Common sense isn't common. Naïve people who've lived a charmed life are dumb enough to believe "most people are good," so they're the ones who'd go into an empty house alone.
Exactly. I don't understand how ppl get themselves into these situations. I will admit I have gone into people's houses to try clothes on. But only after we met, and my husband was outside. And it was another woman, and she wasn't creepy or weird. Not to say something couldn't have happened but dang, some ppl are way too trusting.
Well, for my internship, I have to go to people's houses every day. I work in a public housing company as a social worker. The whole job happens at people's homes. Neither me, my advisor and colleagues ever had any issues, as most people are genuine. Even if they aren't, they would have more to loose if they ever do something, as everyone in the service know that I go to their address. But maybe I will have my own horror story to share one day
The camera story: The fact a professional quality camera plus microphone was listed for $100 should've been red flag enough. Used or not, even without a microphone, $100 should've been a dead giveaway. Either she was super naive or didn't actually use professional grade equipment for her business.
I’m sure scams and traps like in these stories more often r orchestrated by the seller but I’m surprised there weren’t any creepy stories about a weird potential buyer.
@SuperNostalgia.ou are aware that you’re undermining your own message and greatly decreasing the amount of positive responses to your message by imposing on and interrupting people minding their own business, right? In no way am I disagreeing with said message, but being rude like this is not going to help you or anyone else, most of all the religion you claim to speak for. Especially when you think about how hypocritical it is to preach a message against sin, while committing them :/ that’s a big part of what actually turns people against faith, which wouldn’t happen if more people just took a second to be more polite, as we are taught to do in faith. Pride is not only a sin, but one of the seven deadly sins, not to mention when you add hypocrisy to that equation… blessed be, and peace be with you, but worry more about your own faith, devotion to God, and repentance and penance than committing one of the worst sins there are, for no reason other than that sin itself: pride.
The last one, his and his wife's situation could have been a lot worse, Victor could have been a murderer or kidnapper but it sounds like Victor was just lonely and wanted some friends though he really went the wrong way of making friends.
I was thinking the same thing. He’s clearly not very good at being sociable and I almost felt bad as he just wanted to make some friends, reasonable reaction from the guy and his wife though.
I agree. People on the spectrum often have trouble making friends and don't understand what is and isn't socially acceptable. My son has Asperger's and I have two friends with it along with many other family and friends on the spectrum. I have taught myself to look past the odd and sometimes downright uncomfortably awkward things that go on when we go out as a group. It is so hard for these people as it is so I go out of my way to befriend them and listen to them even when what I'm listening to makes no sense or sounds incredibly strange. Mentally these people are geniuses but socially they really have no clue. Once you learn to overcome and look past the social bits you will discover some amazing people hiding within. Everyone on the spectrum that I know is amazing, smart, and intuitive. Not only that but they truly appreciate kindness and love and give you the same in return. Personally, in this situation, I would have researched the guy thoroughly on Facebook and Google to learn who he is and what he is about. If it turned out he was a lonely person on the spectrum I would have taken him up on the offer and met him at the next concert!! Why not? Make his life a little happier and maybe make a lifelong friend for yourself!! What's wrong with that? I run an Asperger's site and I thoroughly check everyone out before befriending them to make sure they are just on the spectrum and not some serial killer crazy person. If they are on the spectrum, when they are ready for it, we meet in person in a public place not too incredibly crowded and take it from there. One step at a time. Baby steps if you will!! I'm sad this guy and his wife didn't look into Victor a lot more and find out about him. They may have missed the opportunity to have a loyal and dedicated friend!
I’m surprised they didn’t call the cops after he tracked them down and went to their house at night. If Victor was just on the spectrum or something, at least that might have lead to him getting some help.
mr nightmare was the first channel like this I started watching and I do think he’s great but let’s read is definitely better other then posting longer videos and more frequently I just enjoy hearing him tell the story better
I love your content, but, nothing beats a Friday upload! I'm from the UK, which means its 12am here when you upload, so knowing I don't have work tomorrow allows me to listen to the whole thing as soon as its out! You're a legend on narrating stories and I hope to be one too one day!
I am cat sitting for my neighbors and every night while they’re away I like to cuddle with my fav of their 3 cats on the couch and listen to stories like this. 🛋🐈🐾🎧👂🏼 It has turned into something I really look forward to and tonight was my last night so I really wanted to enjoy myself. When I opened up RUclips and saw you uploaded this video today I was ecstatic! 😄👏🏻🥳🥳 This is seriously one of my fav topics! Thank you so much! 😎🙌🏻
Oh yeah and story 6 is another gem. "My crazy ex threatened me, lured me somewhere, and tried to kill me. So I decided not to press charges and also pay her medical bills." Smh. Honestly I don't care for this guy's sake. If he has no issue with someone trying to kill him, whatever, but he's making the world more dangerous for me and everyone else. He's trying to portray himself as such a nice guy but he's not. If he had prevented a male stalker or attempted murderer from going to jail everyone would be going after him for it, and rightfully so. Also what about the confused old woman who's house she broke into? I guess her pain is also just collateral for your adorably quirky toxic relationship. How cute!
These stories are the reason I haven't tried to sell any of my baby's stuff. Not worth the risk considering women have died over used baby stuff. My husband is visiting his home country next week (Mexico). I've decided I'm just going to send a lot of the clothes/layette down to his little village for whoever needs them.
That’s really kind! If you ever have anything you want to give away in the future, I recommend donating to local thrift stores (not chains like Goodwill). The thrift stores near me sells kids’ school uniforms and donated baby supplies for really cheap. I’m going to donate all of my old highschool uniforms for people who may need them :)
Been listening to you for many years now. Always will be my favorite, any other voice telling scary stories just isn’t the same. I love your podcast and channel!!
I can only listen to two ppl and they are the best and because they are so good I can’t listen to anyone else , it just doesn’t work. Joel for narrating stories … and John Ballen for his story telling ability , also coffee house crime , that kid is like a protege for both, nice soothing voice for narrating, but his skills for visual story telling is growing .. so I guess those are the 3, out of dozens and dozens
Someone recently ripped me off on there on a guitar for my son’s 15th birthday. It makes me feel sick, disappointed, and angry. I just turned the shower on afterwards, sat in the tub, and had a good cry. Humans can be so utterly cruel.
"I figured she would stop going through my phone once she saw that I had nothing to hide." Dude, WHAT?! Guys can you imagine any woman on this planet that would have a similar reaction if her boyfriend was snooping on her phone and stuff? Have some basic integrity. You can't let people steal your stuff and go through your private things just because they're kinda cute or whatever. These stories are so eye opening because there seems to be a lot of guys like this. 🤦♂
The story about the guy and his ex that lured him to try and kill him. I get that they were together for 10 years but he doesn't owe her that level of sympathy or not to press criminal charges
FR. I'm glad that he was able to forgive her 'cause it's probably going to be good for his healing in the long run, but paying for her hospital bills is sort of a stretch.
I know that she was being emotionally manipulative but she comes on to him, he tells her to leave him alone, and then when she starts crying he goes over to console her? I just don't get some people.
@@derrickbonsell Emotional manipulation can be really devastating, that's all I can really say. A happier ending would've been him cutting her out of his life completely.
Guy in Story 6 was the true definition of a simp, not the common misuse of the word. Staying chained to a controlling, toxic partner for a decade, giving her all his stuff, not pressing charges when she would have, if possible, taken his life, and then, on top of everything, paying her bills thereafter. Some people are made to be victims. It's a simple as that.
Overlooking that the story's probably fake, you'll find a lot of these narrators are simps. I think back to one about "Breaking up a domestic violence situation, boyfriend ends up holding me down, his girlfriend smashes a bottle against my head, I don't press charges." But honestly...is it any surprise that the weak willed are always in danger by their own hands?
Joel, I absolutely LOVE your videos! Not only is your content great, but your voice is so relaxing!! You are the best narrator! As far as FB Marketplace, you have to be aware of red flags. Just be smart about where you meet & who you meet: always meet in public places, don't go into someone's home alone (like if you're picking up furniture), don't give your address out if you can avoid it, avoid meeting people late at night, listen to your gut & always check their profile to see if they've been on FB for a few years and it's a real profile. I've sold and bought off marketplace for years. Luckily, I've never been in a crazy situation; but I have had to block a few people because there were red flags.
I used to listen to a youtube channel that makes basically the same content as Joel. He had a near damn same upload schedule and i was in love with his content until i realized an embarrassing long time later that it was AI. The way i found out was that he repeated the intro twice in one sentence sometimes and would repeat the same stories about 3 times in the same video. When i found Lets Read, i was fully convinced Joel wasnt real either until i heard him talk normally and mess up his words while reading. Ive been listening to Joel for literally almost 2 years now and I haven’t heard the same story twice. Your content is amazing and you do so much for us, you help us sleep and focus. Keep up the good work! 👻📖
Never ever go to a pick up at someone's home alone. (if you have to go to the home). If it's not something huge that requires a 2 person pickup then meet in public busy places... C'mon y'all
Paying her medical bills? Idk. Possibly sending mixed messages if she knows. She may think you still secretly want to be together. I’d make a clean break.
I’m sorry… first guy tried to purchase an entire home on facebook? Like… seriously? And it was cash only and he didn’t think it was a homeless guy selling an abandoned house? Are you kidding…? Are people that stupid now? Or are people literally selling homes on Facebook now? I don’t use social media at all and have no idea what people do on there now but this seems completely ridiculous….
You’d honestly be surprised what I’ve seen people try to sell on Facebook marketplace 😅 I’ve seen everything from pet rocks to “sturdy used king sized bed frame that can hold ten people, it’s ugly but gets the job done” and I wish I was kidding
My fiancé and I bought most of our furniture and kitchen cabinets from FB Marketplace. We ALWAYS meet the seller at our/their local police station. They encourage people to do so for safety reasons. ALWAYS MEET SOMEONE AT A POLICE STATION
As a seller on Marketplace stories like this paint us in a bad light. 😩 I have dozens of stories about bad potential buyers. I never let anyone meet me at my place. I always insist on meeting at the parking lot of a business where there are ALWAYS people around!
I've actually had really positive experiences except for 1 who was really a b..... maybe it depends where you live. The only weird request was a woman asked I would deliver a sectional sofa that was free to deliver it about 21/2 hrs away for free. Lol
Great narration as always. Thank you for adding that last comment at the very end of this video. People need to know that, and start to see what’s going on here.
I just want to get my copious amounts of leftover yarn scraps for much cheaper than michaels sells them, but now I'm in the back of this stranger's van after meeting him off of marketplace :[
I LOVE fb marketplace. My son got an almost new electric guitar with a stand and amp for only $150 the other day. I’ve bought and sold so much on it, it’s great
Wouldn't WayBackMachine solve like half of the investigations presented on this episode alone, since all the evidence are "removed" from the internet before police gets to look at them, or does it not work with facebook? Never had one myself so no idea how the marketplace works undert the hood..
the last story… i kind of feel bad for victor. the reaction from op was reasonable, but i have a feeling victor didn’t mean any ill intent. i could be wrong though. i still feel a little bad for the guy though
How Joel has not got more subs is beyond me been listening 2 years now n still not come over anyone close to as good southern cannibal is brill also give him a listen guys

It's almost like all the stories are fake
Advice from my brother: Always meet up at a police station. And never meet up when it's dark outside.
Agreed! Here in Milwaukee, there's areas outside of police stations for ppl to meet to sell their goods.
What if you're selling big furniture
@@ariistra195meet somewhere like a hardware store so they have tools to move large objects
I love FB marketplace and never had an issue but I’d never go into some creepy house alone
Same here.
When I contact sellers to set a time & meet up place, I tell them right away that I dont do transactions at night nor will I ever go inside a home. Also I google the address once the seller gives it to me; if it looks sketchy in the google photo (like a lonely alley), I cancel.

Rule #1 never go to someone's house, always meet at a busy place, the mall, the store, anywhere with people around
Good advice but not really doable if it's about furniture.
These ppl don't have any common sense in these stories.
Well, for my internship, I have to go to people's houses every day. I work in a public housing company as a social worker. The whole job happens at people's homes.

Was just about to post that. You would be hard pressed to find a decent lens for that much, never mind a camera.
The guy selling it gave me Norman Bates vibes
You're missing the obvious real answer... The story is fake.
Here in west Virginia 100$ for a camera is expensive but i know other places its cheap
Hey maybe he was gonna sell it still.
He just complimented her.
I’m sure scams and traps like in these stories more often r orchestrated by the seller but I’m surprised there weren’t any creepy stories about a weird potential buyer.
You would be surprised how many times this happenes
People should always meet in public places only !!

@@Redbeard424 I try to screenshot all the wild ones 😂 I’m just glad I’m not the only one who saw that lol
Kinda feel bad for victor, hes a weirdo but i think he was just lonely and needed a friend
Thanks for another great video, Joel!
Great narration Joel! Thanks for the stories!!
I was enjoying the live stream when I kept nodding off so I called it a night. Been looking forward to the upload.
I love your vids bro, i have a messy sleep schedule your voice is so soothing to listen to, your stories help me fall asleep
Lets Read is The BEST narrator!! GOAT
I am so ready to get into this video! Thanx Joel! You are so appreciated 💙
Hey Joel! Hope you're doing well 👍 keep up the good work.
Ahhh, much needed post to aid with relaxation. Thank you, Joel. You are so appreciated. 🥰
Nice relax time thank you Joel 😊😊
My fiancé and I bought most of our furniture and kitchen cabinets from FB Marketplace. We ALWAYS meet the seller at our/their local police station. They encourage people to do so for safety reasons.
ALWAYS MEET SOMEONE AT A POLICE STATION
As a seller on Marketplace stories like this paint us in a bad light. 😩 I have dozens of stories about bad potential buyers. I never let anyone meet me at my place. I always insist on meeting at the parking lot of a business where there are ALWAYS people around!
I've never had a normal interaction selling on Facebook marketplace lmao
Making note (kinda new to the facebook marketplace scene)
I've actually had really positive experiences except for 1 who was really a b..... maybe it depends where you live. The only weird request was a woman asked I would deliver a sectional sofa that was free to deliver it about 21/2 hrs away for free. Lol
I could listen to you tell stories for hours!!
Perfect Timing!
Thank You for the upload! ❤❤❤
love the thumbnail, thanks for the upload, joel!
You are definitely my favorite narrator your voice is clear and calming... And the way you speak just grabs my attention.. thank you for let's read
Good night everybody
💤💤
Great narration as always. Thank you for adding that last comment at the very end of this video. People need to know that, and start to see what’s going on here.
I always meet at a police station. These stories are crazy!
Glad i found your channel
I just want to get my copious amounts of leftover yarn scraps for much cheaper than michaels sells them, but now I'm in the back of this stranger's van after meeting him off of marketplace :[
Melatonin, let’s read, and my alarm set for tomorrow, ready for my mimis.
Please do more Facebook Marketplace stories and Glitch in the Matrix! Love these! 💯💯
I LOVE fb marketplace. My son got an almost new electric guitar with a stand and amp for only $150 the other day. I’ve bought and sold so much on it, it’s great
Nice work keep it up love your stories some of the best on RUclips
Thank you so very very much for your video 😊.
Wouldn't WayBackMachine solve like half of the investigations presented on this episode alone, since all the evidence are "removed" from the internet before police gets to look at them, or does it not work with facebook? Never had one myself so no idea how the marketplace works undert the hood..
Love your videos ❤❤❤
Yeah no Facebook Market place is just as sketchy as Craigslist 😬 as creepy as these stories are I definitely believe they happened
Thank you Joel.
the last story… i kind of feel bad for victor. the reaction from op was reasonable, but i have a feeling victor didn’t mean any ill intent. i could be wrong though. i still feel a little bad for the guy though
Let's read Crushes it everytine I get excited seeing there is a new one let's go champ!!!!
Thanks for another great upload ❤
Good stories! ❤
We missed u Joel. Glad ur back. Chat will be awesome tonight. 🤗🤗🤗

Interesting. Didn't think fb market would have creepy stories.
LetsReadPodcast get me Everytime never fail that how good the channel is.

The horror is NO ONE BUT BOTS RESPONDING
The King,
Has returned...
Yes he is the greatest narrator
My wife says im weird cause i fall asleep listening everynight
People having a "hard time sayin no" REALLY need to learn.
I'm going to say with great confidence the country act was Garth Brooks. Seen him 37 times live, he still best they is and tickets go in minutes
Agree he’s great !
How Joel has not got more subs is beyond me been listening 2 years now n still not come over anyone close to as good southern cannibal is brill also give him a listen guys
"Since I was watching tv on a lawn chair"
As a certified professional man I don't see what's wrong with that
Bro you need to title one of these "Reasons to train and carry daily"
Love ur voice and content
