New to Whatnot, almost got scammed

A Whatnot user received a scam message claiming they won a sneaker giveaway, prompting them to provide personal and payment information. The scammer offered expedited shipping options and insisted on payment via Chime or Zelle before the user blocked the number and confirmed it was a known scam. The user later discovered the scammer's number was linked to Kentucky and a Bulgarian individual on Facebook.
