The Rules

Links to news stories from...
...credible sources, with...
...their original headlines, that...
...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

of course he is lying. how do you sell furniture if you are homeless? what furniture do you have to sell? where is it stored? how do you transport it?

lots of questions that make this account dubious at best.

If you read the article you find that he didn't actually sell furniture, he got people on Facebook marketplace to pay him money for the privilege of collecting free furniture from Craigslist. It's a really shitty scheme
