Beware Fraudulent Seller

[ju-666396]

BEWARE of seller. He is giving his customers a fraudulent returns address in Carrum Downs, Victoria, which is not his own. Do not send your parcel off, as you will never see it returned to you from him. He has been doing this for the past two years; we have had enough; all parcels are now sent to Vic Police.

What an absolute mess of the boards !

I'll repeat what I posted earlier.

 I can assure you that no-one  here  needs to be warned.

We all know how to use eBay's Money Back Guarantee and  we all know exactly how to receive a refund for an item not as described  or a  faulty item.

And none of us here  would ever deal with a  very obvious dropshipping seller with 88 negative and  134 neutral feedback  !

Beware of supporting scammer sellers in the first place

Beware failing to follow the correct process to obtain a refund

Spamming the forum 7 times with the same thing helps nobody

You ignored all the negs etc the scammer had, why would anyone take notice of 'don't do what I do do what I say?

Plus you agreed not to name and shame, which you did at least 7 times

You mad the choice to support the scammer, and then played along with the scammer games rather than take the option to be covered by eBay

OMG Read my post again, I am not a buyer from this corrupt, fraudulent scammer. I am the one receiving all this scammer - fake return address parcels, trying to be sent back to him by his buyers. All I can do is warn them and now send them on to the police sandypebbles.

Nowhere di d you mention in any of your spam did you say the items were being sent to you

Nowhere, at any point did you say such a thing

Plus you posted under 'buying' (and numerous other threads such as community feedback etc etc etc)

And even so, still no reason to spam the forum over and over with the same thing

[*casey*]

If you ever post on the boards again, you'll need to make  your position very clear.

Everything in your 7  threads indicated you were a buyer.

The moderators of the forum  thought so too.

After removing 4 of your threads, they even 'moved'  2  of  your threads to the Buying Board.

When it was pointed out to them there were  still 3  identical threads, they removed  the other 2.

This is probably a silly question  but have you reported everything to eBay ?  More than once ? Over and over ?

Yet another Chinese scammer and even with ALL the bad feedback is still being called

Top Rated seller:

• One of eBay's most reputable sellers.
• Consistently delivers outstanding customer service.

I've missed your other posts and name of seller etc but I am having trouble working out how this scam works.

Okay, you receive the parcels from the buyers, they are returns.

But they had to get the address from somewhere. Either the seller provides a postage label (for items posted in Australia) or else he would have to tell buyers the address.

If he did this in messages, then buyers should have proof that that was the address provided and tracking should show it delivered to that address so you'd think buyers would then qualify for a refund.

Or are these items that are not strictly speaking, returns through ebay as such, but change of mind returns where maybe buyer has asked to exchange size or whatever?

Are you able to open packages and see if buyer details are in there so you can at least message them where their parcel is (before handing to police).

And casey is right. Each and every time it happens, let ebay know-name of seller and name of buyer if you can. Whether they will ever do anything is another matter but it is worth a try.

Mail tampering is a Federal offence, so this probably wouldn't be wise.

The correct course of action would be to simply write on the parcel "RTS Not at this address".... then hand it back to the SPDO or contractor - or drop it in a red box or lodge at any AP outlet.

I guess that could work if the address of the sender is on the outside of the parcel but I don't get the impression it can be as OP is handing parcels over to police and apparently has been doing this for some time. If the address of sender was clearly visible, police would have long since told them to do that.
