A Melbourne grandmother has had two surgeries this week after being left with a shattered foot in a Marketplace sale gone wrong.
The Shepparton woman is now demanding Facebook increase security of it's online trading site, claiming a man used a fake account to organise an opportunity to steal the car she was selling on there.
Rebekah Streader won't be able to walk for months after her foot was crushed by the car she was trying to sell on Facebook Marketplace.
She didn't want to sell her Holden ClubSport.
But the single mum, who works at Coles, says she desperately needed cash to keep a roof over her family's head.
Streader posted an ad on Facebook Marketplace and, through there, a man looking to buy the car, organised a time for a test drive.
Streader's Ring door bell captured the moment he turned up at her home but it didn't record what happened next.
When the man asked for a test drive, Streader handed him the keys but before she could jump in the passenger seat, he locked the car doors.
The grandmother says she pleaded for him to stop but instead – in full view of her 15 year-old son – the man ran over her foot before speeding off.
"I was banging on the window asking him to stop because this car is something I had bought years ago and I thought 'I can't lose it. I can't afford to lose it', Streader told 9News wiping away tears.
"Facebook needs a big change. It's too easy for people to be scammed or ripped off."
Streader has tried to track the man down on Facebook but believes he messaged her from a fake profile.
She has described him as about 170 centimetres tall, with a medium build and a goatee.
Police have been notified and are investigating.
Meanwhile, friends are raising money on GoFundMe to help the grandmother get back on her feet.
