This method is a very advanced way of scamming,
I thought about it a while back and kept it a secret. I'm sure many people knew about it too, but I've never seen it happen before.
I noticed that people are starting to get scammed like that, so I'm here to warn you.
In this kind of scam, the scammer contacts an actual trusted product seller and tells him he wants to buy it.
at the same time, he contacts a buyer and waits for him to ask for confirmation on site,
once he does ask for confirmation, he will also tell the trusted seller to confirm, and like that, make the buyer believe he is the seller.
Ways to avoid:
You can tell the seller to confirm on-site by writing something like " I'm selling rn to a user on discord id: [user-id] "
This way, the actual seller will notice he's being tricked.
An example I made here:
