Threatening call. A Daytona Beach woman called police after she received a threatening message from an OfferUp seller.
The woman told police that she contacted the seller because she was interested in purchasing a digital camera. She provided the seller with her home address for the shipping and a few days later, the seller contacted her to inform her she needed to pay more for shipping. The woman complied and sent over the additional funds.
According to the police report, the seller contacted her again a week later to ask for more money; this time, the woman refused. The seller then texted her a photo of a firearm and said they knew where she lived and that they "were going to come to the home and kill her," the report states.
The woman wished to press charges if the seller is identified.
