Bose headphones

[Anonymous]

Two nights ago I bid on some Bose QC15 headphones and was the highest bidder. I paid with PayPal and am now worried that they are probably fake. I asked the seller to confirm that they are genuine and the reply was "you'll see when they arrive"!!
The listing did not specify that they were genuine. Will I be able to get my money back through PayPal? The listing gave the location as "woodlands" but it turned out to be Malaysia.
What should I do?

Apparently bose headphones are one of those products usually used by account hijackers.

Have a look at the hijack hunters thread or one of the hunters may be along to have a look at your purchase and give advice.

The account appears to have only a neut for selling. Not good.

Thanks,KH,:-D

It has being reported as a hijacked account,X-(

They are mainly a buyer and their last purchase was July 2012

This type of scam is actually after contact details so they can send phishing Emails.

Op,you need to be careful with any Emails you may receive purporting to be from eBay or Paypal.

Don't click on any links,(which should never be done anyway).

Forward any  suspect Emails to spoof@ebay.com.au and spoof@paypal.com.au

There are some genuine items coming from there now,but also a number of scam ones.

There are now a number of these in my watch list and some of them are now also asking for phone numbers,(they have been reported),X-(

You are covered by Paypal so make certain you don't let it go past the dispute cut of time.
