Oh Gosh Luckily I came across this forum, I was about to ship out the item today but my instinct told me it might be scam, so I go Google scam in mudah.my and really the emails details all exactly the same. I some more received an email and claim that they are interpol and if I don't ship the item within 24 hours I will be arrested! Damn~

So thankful that din lost my thousand bucks. But I have given my bank details to them, will it have any problem?

Got a similar encounter. And getting sick of it since they will approach each time I post something on mudah.
Is there a way to trap them? Though I understand they will never bank in the amount.

no problem. they cannot do anything with just ur acc details. even if they plan to draw out money they need some sort of authorization, eg: signature, password, etc..

They are now having a new tactics asking you to bank in to Western Union.

Let me share my story today, yesterday i posted an item in Mudah, than i received a text msg (013 332 4580) saying that he interested to buy my item but deal with him in emails (s.mark334@gmail.com). Cut the story short, he wanted to deal in paypal saying that is safe bla bla bla....So i gave him my email add and paypal Acc to transfer the money to me. Than he start whatapps me using different no (+2348097720689) to tell me that he made a transfer and ask me did i received email from paypal? I received an email from paypal saying that the seller name Mark Scott is transferring RM 3180 to me in my paypal acc. I'm confused cause my item that i wan to sell is only Rm480.So i text him saying that why you pay me so much? Then i received an email from paypal saying that i need to bank in the Rm2550 to WESTERN UNION and show paypal the receipt than paypal only will transfer the RM3180 from the buyer than only i get my Rm480. Then i confirm is scam. Sound complicated rite, i told him why i need to bank in to WESTERN UNION RM 2550 to get my RM 480 from paypal? I told him i cancelled the deal. Than i receive an email from paypal saying that if if i cancelled the deal paypal will take legal action against me and FBI and interpol come and arrest me. Hahahaha.....In my mind is that i only tell you that I'm cancelling my deal in whatapps with you how the hell paypal know about it! This Nigerian using tactics to scares us so that wen falled into their trap.
So guys beware with this new tactics.

I always kena (is more like I kena them)... Even though is wasting my time, i always play with them, just love to exploit more on their tactics.
So far their tactics :
1) They never approach you via SMS (i dunno where are they, local or Nigeria), now they also approach by Whatsapp, last time always email only. Looks closely at their no, +234 is Nigeria.

2) They will introduce them self as someone in Canada / UK / Hungary or whatever country, and say buying things for their loves ones who stays in Nigeria and ask u ship the item back to their Motherland rolleyes.gif .

3) When buy things they will not nego with you, doesn't ask for item's detail or pic, and i found them has difficulties doing currency conversion. Item is RM400, they convert into $225 USD, when i do my conversion at that time was around $110 USD. I believe this is part of their tactics to lure victims in.

4) When it comes to payment, is simple, they doesn't ask what type of payment seller prefer. They just request your email and bank account detail, and later you will receive email sent by their bank, IN SPAM FOLDER (which shouldn't be)!! They make the transaction confirmation email looks very legit, very easy for ppl to fall for it. The transaction of money is like this, just has to give the proof of shipment to their bank, once verified (how they verify? No idea) the transaction will be transfer into your account. In order to make everything seems very legit and enforced by laws, this payment is a so called "Buyer and seller protection schemes", he will told u once he has committed to the purchase, he cannot pull out from this scheme, means he cannot cancel and take back his money, this process is done by bank (Where got this kind of scheme that cannot cancel and take back money??? shocking.gif ). He will also say this schemes is valid for 24Hr, and told me to provide proof of shipment within that time. So, they will keep on pushing you to ship the item out ASAP!

5) In the conformation email sent by their bank, look closely for grammatical error which has a lot, they spell my name wrongly doh.gif


Ways how i exploit them :
1) Ask some general questions, like why would u purchase in mudah, while they live so far away and have much better option than mudah like eBay or Craiglists. They will give some very weird replies.

2) After the transaction is done, last minute told him there are something wrong with the item he is purchasing. Of course he scammer is very generous he still will accept the faulty item notworthy.gif . Like last time, i told him the HTC One X he about to purchase has Wifi issue at the very last minute (He accepted with faulty condition rclxub.gif ) and offered to replace him with a fully functioning Motorola Milestone 2, which he accepted and pushing me to ship out the item ASAP sweat.gif . Come on, for the price he is paying, Motorola Milestone 2 just doesn't worth it at all, yet he still accept it.

3) In the end, boom him with all the point that shows he is trying to scam. And boom back whatever he reply... He summore say i will be investigated by the FBI and InterPol blink.gif, luckily he didn't say CIA thumbup.gif . Which until now I am still a freeman and my account still active rclxms.gif

absolutely make sure money is able to be transferred

scams work due to impulse reaction and general assumptions (an amount showing online when u check bank account or paypal may not mean that amount is already in your account, which is ready for you to transfer)

1 simple way; have a system (include a different account for receiving and transferring is good in my opinion) and stick to it

Typical Nigerian scam...i hoped TS didn't kena con.

Basically, anystory like this:
1) Buyer from oversea blah
2) Offer high price for your piece of junk.
3) Long weird story why can't be here to buy.
4) Ask you to send first without receiving money.

Sounds like a scam. Smells like a scam. Sure confirmed is a Scam.

Remember that even using paypal, you may see the money coming to your paypal account but after the received the item they can make dispute with paypal to get back their money.
