Is Poshmark a Scam? Spotting NVIDIA RTX 6090 Ti Scams in 2026

Check Payment Overage: Be wary of buyers offering more than the listed price. This is often a tactic to mask a fraudulent transaction or to pressure you into sending funds off-platform.

Off-Platform Email/Payment Request: Scammers will try to move the conversation and payment outside of Poshmark to avoid platform protections. Never agree to communicate or pay via email, text, or external payment apps like Zelle or Venmo for transactions initiated on Poshmark. This is a direct attempt to bypass Poshmark's security and your buyer protection [2, 3].

Counterfeit Authentication Swap: Given the high value of a NVIDIA RTX 6090 Ti, counterfeiters may attempt to swap out the genuine product with a fake one during a return process or by listing a fake outright. Always scrutinize product images and descriptions for inconsistencies, and be aware of sellers who cannot provide verifiable proof of authenticity [6, 11, 16].

Empty Box Return Fraud: A scammer may claim the item was defective or not as described and then return an empty box. Document the unboxing of high-value items if possible, and be aware that Poshmark's dispute resolution process can be complex in these cases [10, 17, 19].

Fake Poshmark Support Email: Scammers may impersonate Poshmark support to trick you into revealing personal information or clicking malicious links. Always verify communications directly through the official Poshmark app or website, and never trust unsolicited emails asking for sensitive data [2, 9, 12].

Direct Zelle/Venmo Bait: Similar to off-platform requests, scammers might pressure you to complete the transaction via Zelle or Venmo, often claiming it's faster or avoids fees. These methods lack Poshmark's buyer protection, leaving you vulnerable if the item is not as described or never arrives [3, 23].
