me also got these scam emails that wanted to buy my item in mudah.my~
but when i got the email from them, i just delete it~

I was wondering, what harm could it do to give him your bank account name etc? Surely he can't take money out of it.

there must be a catch there .. its just we all the tax payer wont understand what can they actually do .. probably forge a credit card? we wouldn't know

Hey i experienced the same problem. Twice. First time was she wanted to buy a bag from me. I seriously believed in it as it was my first time receiving such email. I took all the trouble and went to check all the postage cost and reply her. Luckily she did not reply. If she did i would be so blind and give her my bank details. Second was yesterday. I received another email stating he wanted to buy items for his daughter in college. I feel suspicious as i remember receiving the similar looking email. And sending to nigeria. So i went google and search for people who did received such email and end up here in this thread. I think its a scam since so many people received such similar email asking to send to nigeria.

And the point is. All this come from the same website. Mudah.com. Same shipping place. Nigeria.

Beware people!

Ohh and they state they would bare all the tax and stuff. They could have bought those stuff from ebay or amazon since it would be cheaper. Why come all the way to Malaysia to buy from me. The items i'm selling is available in ebay and amazon in a much cheaper price.

Hello everybody,
I've been contacted by this mr. honestylife with the letter posted before and I gave him the iban code and swift code of my bank account.

After i received a letter that asked me to reply with the scanning of the shipping delivering in order to get the money.
Of course i didn't, and luckyly I found your forum

I don't think this mr. honesty can do more than giving me money with my iban and swift codes, am I wrong?
Should I worry more?

bye

Hi All,

I encounter the same thing today!!!

I'm a seller and I have reveal my account number, full name and mobile contact.

The fraud buyer says that the money is with citibank and will only release once parcel is delivered with receipt.

Obviously I did not send out the item, THANKS TO THIS FORUM!!!

But I'm worried that the info revealed may compromise my account security.

Is this sufficient for those nigerian bastards to steal money out of my account?

I have notified/warn my bank to monitor for any weird activity.

I guess that's all I can do for now.

FRIENDS, DON'T FALL FOR IT. Being greed will put your rationale away.


haha.

I would suggest to you. Do a conventional method of transaction. "Who in need first?" If he in need, he better move first. He should follow your rule of thumb. You have to in-dictate the rule to save your transaction.

U got scammed bro. I also nearly kena

today i also kena la!
i jual tshirt kat mudah, baru-baru ni satu US guy email me nak beli, suruh hantar ke nigiria.
then i dapat email dari customerhelp@accountant.com titled ***MONEY TRANSFER CONFIRMATION MAIL***
suruh i pos barang dulu, then emailkan kepada bank tracking number, baru duit masuk akaun.
tak masuk akal!

Bank accounts are 1 way traffic. Easy to put money in but only you can take the money out unless you are foolish enough to give out your online banking password and ATM pin. So it is quite safe to give out bank a/c details, ie bank name, bank address, your name and account number. Anyone who has your bank details can put money into your account from anywhere in the world.

Banks will NOT send out emails to customers. It is a security risk. If you receive an email from the bank it is actually the scammer sending you the email, NOT the bank!

Added on September 4, 2010, 9:10 amRead my reply above. Bank accounts are 1 way traffic. Money can go in easily. Money can only come out if you have the passbook, cheque book, ATM pin and online banking password. If these are kept safe you can give out your account number and full name, no problems. But don't give out any personal contact numbers.
