LOL..TS ..I cannot believe people are still gullible with these scams...from this second email onwards I could detect it is a scam already.....Normal transactions will be very straightforward without dramas i.e various sub plots as shown in the email..If there are too many sub plot then you know its 99% a scam....

This post has been edited by stimzzzz: Mar 30 2012, 12:10 AM

How come stupid scam use the same story? I think only individual who have not used online payment system before would fall for such a thing.

FBI? Seriously?

just tell them the item has been released, end of story, let them be happy la.

me also kena 3 time.
1st time, think, wah, so fast got buyer. international summore. but instinct ask google, and say its scam.
2nd time, also same.
3rd, dont even bother to reply.

the one with knowledge of this kind of scam most likely wont fall for it. but if someone new to online selling, mayb.

Send him peti sejuk besar. Do it just like to 419 Scammer

You must be new in the internet... Which idiot will pay an extra RM760 to ship a tablet when they can buy it locally at their store. Use some common sense next time

Seeing the @london.com email address is already suspicious.

And normally mat salleh won't usually use titles like "Dr" or "Sir" in their email siggy.

Smile bank does exist.

But anyway this is a very common scam and has been around for years and years in the UK. Always Nigerians

^
this. it's almost as old as the nigerian please pay me 100k to process these 20million dollars scam.

who the fark in uk still named Sydney

Contact Details.

Phone : +447024015389
E-mail :sb.customercare@london.com.com <----------- LOL, .com.com??? Bank? LMAO

Thanks for using Smile Bank Plc®, We look forward to serve you more better.

Sincerely,

Smile Bank Plc ®.

This is kinda cold scam, they are looking for big companies where the shipping and sales are handled by different people, there can be miscommunication between departments and item is sent before money is received.

At least it's not the man in the middle scam, that one is a lot more jialat to handle.

omg i just kena this one. did any of you lose any money? :OOOO
so scaredddddd.. sei lor.................

UK = United Kenya?

Forget it, its a fake and a scam.

i never do online trading/selling/buying. for me, strictly COD ONLY.

Next time advertise, "no delivery to Nigeria"!!

The e-mail already looks suspicious with its choice of words ... "or else face the consequences.." WTH ..!!

Too bad we cannot jail these ppl .. we shouldn't let them off, scots-free!!

#1 on internet selling: never send anything unless money is IN your bank account!!

FBI? lol they got more important stuff to handle like catching the most wanted person rather than scammer

Hi Guys.

I almost got conned by the same person but he is using a different email account. Please beware.

Today I posted an item on mudah.my, a few hours later i get a reply from this woman, with an email elly5939@yahoo.com. Her name is Elizabeth Benson.

This is how the email went

Eli : hello
Thanks for the reply, Am presently in UK but i will not be sending the item to me here in Uk am sending it to my Boss Child who is now in west africa working with Coca-cola company and i will like you to send me the total cost of the item with the shipment cost via dhl courier service. i will be making your payment via Bank to Bank Transfer for safety and security measure . hope we can become better friend from here
Thanks

Me: Hey there

If you're still interested do email me your address to be ship and i'll email you my bank account in the next email. I will only send out item once payment is made, so please bank in soon so i could ship out your item asap. thanks!

Soon after that, i get an email from her 'smile bank' saying that i should send the shipment in under 24hours if not the Federal Bureau will take action.

Beware of this guys. Its the exact same person, only using different email address.

hahaha..they are so stupid,they use the same technique to con people..i recently post something too in mudah,and what you have explained what happened EXACTLY happened to me ..but its not my first time,theres few times they try do this at me but they are not smart enough to con me,i reply them by saying like what u said,once the money is successfull transfered ill ship the item immediately,like i always do.They are getting more sophisticated nowdays,i got an email from RBS(royal bank of scotland)saying mrs kaythrn evan(the buyer)has already bank in the sum of money and etc.Somehow the content from the so called RBS are abit weird.Btw,here's the person that "wanted"to buy my item details..Note:they always give these zipcode 23402.

Wow ts, your very easily conned that type. There is already alot indication in the communications that he is a conman.

First hint always look at that dudes address, and name. If Nigerian then just reply f*** off to them. Some claim to reside in British but once reveal their shipping/banking address, all lead back to Nigeria, f*** off again. Look at fishy emails. I dont know what i did to upset the gods, but i receive a scam mail daily as an average, and they email address are not "localized" , sounds very western, weird and wannabe. Perhaps if you receive more you could 'feel' the difference. Basically how they work very typical 1. Wanna buy item --> Claim to paid --> Custom/bank hold and pending --> Requires u to pay the releasing fee.. after that gone lol. Furthermore, their email headings and language are not professional at all. Looks lame..

Anyway the golden rule is say f*** off to every Nigerian emails

dats y now many ppl scare doing online biz

You should track these scammers down ..!!

typical african scams

alot of these trash , i see them in KL walking with hot chxxxxxx

Old scam is old.

those are protitutes

Seriously, Which part of "Nigeria" do you not understand?

Nigerian scam

They even have a wikipedia page.

It happens all the time, out of 10 sure 1 or 2 will kena one. usually COD is the best if not wait until money is credited into a/c then only ship out.

yep. lots of similar emails like this when i first started putting up ads on mudah.my.

lol. only noobs will falk for this

Once We have This Info From You, We will Make The Full Transfer Of The Money To Your Bank Account

i stopped reading here
and came to a conclusion : scam

Only retard fall into this kind of trap

not so new la brader

this is not new, this exact same thing has happened to me before years ago
but it's stupid la, who in the world will send an item before receiving money

Just wanna post my share of experience too..

Same old thing, exact details as what you guys have been posting

And yes, they refuse to use PayPal.

Geez. Anyway, just needed to 'reassure' myself it IS a scam and found this thread. Heh. Let's hope no one kena scam ..

next time u should troll the scammer back to the fullest

This not first time i see this. Their method is always the same bank to bank transfer and they request you to send the item first.

email spoofing most probably... what is the bank email they are using?

cant just nuke ?

there's one seller who trolled back the seller with Deepsy Sign name, fukken lol dat one. who's the seller again ar? forgot his ID, sorry. come in and admit

what if the buyer wants to pay thru paypal? befor ethis got one case the person wants to pay via bank transfer, i didnt even reply. and this one she said she will pay by paypal... is it safe???

Paypal is super not safe for this case, you as the seller.

The person could use a stolen account to pay you or the usual "ABC" scam, Paypal will eventually deduct the money out of your account.

If the word "nigeria" is there, it could almost be a scam.

Aaaahhh noo i just got con from this guy rm6000
What the f***!!!
Why didnt i found this forum earlier..f*** nigerian
Someone help me please???i just went bankrupt because of this guys

E-mail :sb.customercare@london.com.com

seriously what i fake email address

reading from the email sent by "smile bank" has already shown many suspicious contents.somehow,i feel like they are threatening you and urge you to ship out the parcel asap.WTH.i dont think smile bank have so many time meddling with people online purchases.

Y u still layan??u first time got these type of email??if yes than take note and next time when u receive this type of email,make sure u ask them "would u like a original kfc Snack plate or dinner plate"

The best you can do is contact your post office, stop the parcel from being collected.

in this, case, regist a ebay account, simply deal with this.

Phone : +447024015389

afaik..it's a mobile phone number..bank will use mobile phone meh?

i lol, when i received this kind of mail, i terus ignore

keyword = nigeria

got 2-3 people from oversea want to buy my sis car when i advertised at mudah...
fuuuu

if COD, direct change name, should be ok

So funny lo ! I just posted on Mudah.my a new bag selling just RM40 also want kena scam by those foolish Niggas who thought they are so clever with the internet.

After i post my item on Mudah.my, i receive a sms from a local number worr 0163804462. The sms content is "am interested in your bag on mudah, please get back to me with the price by e-mail: lovebety45 (at) yahoo dot com"

Then i tried to sms twice to this number to confirm his/her interest with the item, but no reply, so what i did after that is emailing the person.

Guess what email i receive ? :
"Thanks for the mail but am presently in UK am buying the item for my cousin who is presently in Working with the British Tobacco Company in west Africa i hope you can get back to me with the total cost of the shipment via Registered Post i will be paying you via bank to bank transfer.
Thanks"

Then i was like WTH Nigerians again ! Last time face email by Nigerians from Lelong, no Mudah.my , even use local number sms me somemore !

Now i'm thinking of how to reply the email back by "diao" them back. Any suggestions ? LOL !

just reply "nice try niggggahh"

This post has been edited by ecitenoid: Mar 26 2013, 02:45 PM

Haha, got think of that too. But i just reply the * "the total cost of the item and shipping cost USD 1,000. " LOL. If he/she still reply mean he/she is a fool !

The * replied to me "get f***"

And i reply to the * "Hahahaha ! Nice try you * ! Don't though we Malaysians are so easily scam and cheat by you all Nigerians. Go get a life please and stop scamming innocent people ! You are such a disgrace for your whole family ! Wohohoooo"

TS did you already knew its a scam and play along or you only found out later?

Nice documentary to watch about scamming and their trend in Africa. In Ghana tough.. but i guess... they are all brothers. Look like scamming has becoming more of a lifestyle rather than anything else

Seem, i'm also almost got conn, but it is my nature to always googling around first.

Try to play around with them. I got email from lovebety45@yahoo.com.

I'm only selling a shoe, why lor this people, still want to conn. Isk...

Maybe they don't have money to buy a shoe, maybe the shoes selling in their country cost alot ! LOL !

Hi,

Similar Case 1:
I have previously received similar emails from UK, US, Africa, Europe.
Handful of emails, and they were asking for urgent money; or try to buy costly items from you and ask you to sent them the item 1st before you received the money; one of them even say that you have won a prize and asking you the send them the shipment cost in order for them to ship you the prize..... etc.

My reply to the sender: "I have forwarded your email to the police-in-charge to follow-up with you". Then no more reply from them anymore!


Similar Case 2:
Recently one email sent to me from my aunty, saying that she had an accident in Europe, lost passport and need money urgently. I checked that her yahoo's email address was correct, but I was told by her a few week ago that she is going to US.
Now a days, the Con-Men can even use your relatives or friend email a/c and send email to you, asking for urgent money.


*Advice to everyone, you must be check carefully before sending any money.

I had previously reply one similar case, also mentioned she is in UK, and asking to send money to her nephew who is working in British Tobacco Company in Europe.

My reply to the Con-Men:" I have forwarded your email to the police-in-charge officer to follow-up with your case." Then no more reply from con-men anymore.

Told by a friend, international Bank Standard/Law:
All banks are not allow to interfere with shipment. Bank will not send email to buyer or sender directly as a 3rd party. Foreign bank will only contact the local bank directly only.

Hope this info help you

New? lol
This has been going on for years la

OMG! Hey im in the process of getting the same thing as you . Things are exactly similar!!

we reach our conversation based on yours till the part where i told them about the shipping price and all..

Later on they told me to give my bank account holders name so that she could make the transfer...

The Email address she used its Deborah something..

She told me she wanted me to send the goods to her son in germany( just exactly how she wanna scam u)

when i suspected something is not right , i check on the ip address ..she told me she's from uk but when i found out..she's sending the e-mail from india .. ==

What must i do now?

I just replied this *******..

Nice try nigggahhhh. =)) be more innovative blackie. This is old skoll shit *. Wow, you would be a too 'nice' mother to buyer your little liwayne a shirt frm malaysia. Btw, I had forward your e-mail to the police. I know where you are. Im watching you son. lol

Wow!! I can't believe I almost being scammed! I'm going to send out the parcel tomorrow already, luckily I check again. It grew my suspect when I read and read on the so called Smile Bank email -> Smile Bank Plc <Sb.fundtransferunit@accountant.com>
accountant.com from Smile Bank? If is from Smile Bank shouldn't their email be smilebank.com or sth? Thank you all of you!!

My case is the same on posting item on Mudah, then I received an SMS from +60108907449(more cangih now d):
am interested in your bag on mudah, please get back to me with the price by email: bety1982@yahoo.com

After that I send this person email and I got this reply:
From bety jones,
Thanks for the mail but am presently in UK am buying the item for my cousin who is presently in Working with the British Tobacco Company in USA i hope you can get back to me with the total cost of the shipment via Registered Post i will be paying you via bank to bank transfer.

Thanks


Tell me it's not a SCAM... @_@

Same here

bety jones (bety1982@yahoo.com)Add to contacts 17/4/2013
To:

Thanks for the mail but am presently in London am in love with your item i will like to purchase for a close friend in West Africa as a gift i will be paying you via bank to bank transfer i hope you can get back to me.
Thanks

Just ignore all those e-mails and delete

Why would someone from UK want to be buying an item from Mudah?

I guess eBay users have become wise to these scams so they're targeting other websites

Typical Scam exposed in Malaysia

Last time got a fella said he is from london and want to send a gift to his friend who married in nigeria...i asked the dhl service but it cost 600++... The lens just cost rm1200 but postage is half price of the lens? I straight said no to that fella.

No need to be polite to these people. And actually cc the email to the respective police of the various countries, if you can google and find these police email address. Who knows, the police there may thank you for assisting them ...

Fuuh.nyaris2 nk kene scammed..luckily find this thread

No bank transfers for overseas payment.

just issue a paypal invoice and have them pay by credit card.

save you the hassle, and u wont expose your bank details.

don be duped.

money not even in your bank, wat FBI gonna do. lol.

forward an email supposingly from a courier company, say the item has been delivered to them and is safe to transfer money. failing which FBI will hunt them

and for verification, ask them to send a photo of the receipient holding a card with a security code :aKuPeniPu attached as evidence of identity.

see how they reply

This scam has been going on for years on ebay. It's a variation of the Marine Engineer/Oceanographer scam where they want to buy your stuff and ship somewhere else as a gift for *someone* as a surprise

is old trick from conman but please be carefull as still have pl kena

.. thank god! .. i fell like others to get happy when my stuff selling on mudah get buyer from LONDON, wah! international buyer!. Then i feel something not right tooday then i serch this email --> bety1982@yahoo.com and i found this thread!!!!!!

Thank you guys for this thread

it is best if you guys don't reply these scammer email. they are using mudah auto email, they still don't know your email. when you reply their email only would they know your email. they might put your email for spam, or worse, profiling your info to hack your online identity
