Hi Everyone,

 

 

I am writing this to make sure no one suffers lost from fraud.

 

I have been keep receiving messages from some "buyer" by firstly asking if accept PayPal or bank deposit. (always for high value items).

 

Those "buyers" will then sent a message with a story such as they are buying this for their daughter, etc. They will keep asking to you send them a message from you PayPal linked email, or send them a money request through PayPal.

 

After they got your email address that link to your PayPal account.


They will send a payment received notification protending from PayPal.

 

And demand you to post your item, saying you will receive your fund after you provide a tracking number.

 

Somehow, this fund would never be cleared. Because you not even talking to PayPal.

 

THE most annoying part is they actually using the same story!!!!!

 

 

Again, if you DON'T see the funds on your PayPal account as holding.

 

DO NOT SEND the GOODS!!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

 

Regards

It is strange how one feedback says item a fake yet another buyer has gone overbosrd in their praise of the same item.

A cynical observer might say there's nothing strange about that at all!

I love how he's named and shamed a previous buyer in the last 2 of the video camera listings. Very touching.

 

I wonder if any 0 feedback buyers will bid on any of the auctions?
