When you almost get scammed...and red flags

I'm very new in this business and one of the events I looked forward to was becoming a vendor during markets. Sadly, most of the ones around the area were full until I came across an event. I scrolled down on Facebook and saw one of the posts say they were still accepting vendors. Excited, I messaged her and she gladly welcomed me. She asked what I did and I sent pictures of a few of my candles as well as the business mission. I'll just type out what was said with my conversation with Beckyforton along with bolding red flags.

Small Booth 5x5 (70)

Medium Booth 10x10 (85) -that's super expensive.

Large Booth 10x15 (100)

Electricity (10)

What size are you after?

Just a small for now. I'm just starting out. I did want more information though such

as times, requirements etc before I go through with it. I was wondering if you had

any other candle vendors there as well.

No we don't have any candle vendors yet, you will be the first person.

You will receive all event details along with your booth number in your email immediately payment is confirmed.- grammar mistakes.

No problem. Also, my main job is somewhat unstable. I work with ships.

If one happens to come by, is the money refundable?

Yes is refundable.- grammar mistakes.

You don't need electricity?

Is this indoor or outdoor and what times is it?

Outdoor

I'll probably get a 10x10. This is in Orange, right?

Yes.

Are you making your payment now so I can reserve your spot immediately?

Ok. I'll send payment when I get home from work. About 5?

Okay.

Do you have PayPal Venmo or Zelle for the payment?

What's the date of this? Facebook closed out so I lost the event page.

Yes.

Are cars allowed close by?

Yes care are allowed

You will receive all even details along with your booth number in your email immediately payment is confirmed.- grammar error again

Screenshot for confirmation when you are done

I'm not sure why it's declining. I do have Zelle though.

Okay we have Zelle

Hold on

h333832961@gmail.com - That is a really weird e-mail.

Screenshot when you're done.

Yes.

Zelle email- Zelle ALWAYS has @zelle, never gmail, yahoo...etc

Can I have the link to the event of FB?

I have to check the days and addresses with my boss

Have told you that all will be sent to your email.- starting to sound rude

We have your email with us now when you make payment we will send it to your email immediately we confirmed your payment thanks- still grammar errors

I'll just find on fb then. I need to check the info out.

I'm not in charge of the link. -not in charge of a public link? to an event? that everyone else sees?

To the Facebook event?

Yes, we would send all the info to your email. - sure you will
