'Kitty litter, a packet of sugar': Woman receives bizarre items instead of Facebook TV purchase
An Adelaide woman has received multiple bizarre items instead of the new TV she thought she purchased on Facebook Marketplace.
Debbie paid $550 in cash but was shocked when she opened the box to find a bag of kitty litter, two books, a hammer and a packet of sugar, which all felt like the weight of a TV.
The Craigmore woman caught the moment the scammer dropped off the fake TV on CCTV about 11.30am yesterday.
