Ya agree, all the Nigerians are using the same trick.
They are situated in Malaysia, although they told you they're in UK or US, but request item to be posted to other country.

They will never send payment via paypal due to its policy. So if really want to deal, it will be advisable to use paypal, else just forget about the deal.

But these scams only happen in mudah.my

A few of my FB fren start getting this scam... so not at mudah.my only now.

+1.

My items at other sites also got targeted.

so not only Mudah.

ya RM200 pos using abx they pass to ups... just to test dat guy bank in or not...if bank in i will sent the new one..cuz no security for us to post there...if they ask us waiting for the bank transaction...

Spreading fast I guess

lol happened to me few times too but they are not smart enough to con me ...same technique..telll the total amount.give them bank details,bank to bank transfer and the convicting part is i got an email from RBS(royal bank of scotland)saying he already bank in the sum of money.Btw,here's some details of this person.

Kathryn Evans(kath.evans51@yahoo.com)

And this is the details he/she told me to sent it to.
Name- Taye Aris
>Address- 11A Old Airport Road,UI
>City- IBadan
>State- OYO
>Country- Nigeria
>Zip Code- 23402
>Phone no-23470821166

Added on May 21, 2012, 3:46 amand you guys want to know why these scam are so big?its because these scammers are backup/sponsored/helped by these african goverment.These scammers pay alot and must share the money,basically more than half what they get and gave to the people involved in this(the goverment,police,middle man and others)

i receive the scam mail too...haha....

Hmmm.. seems like a common modus operandi... i also just kena.. lucky not sent the package.. advertised on mudah as well... after i told him i need to check his payment details, he curse me in Nigerian because i told him if its a scam, you're going to hell...

if you post in mudah.my, chances are u will be targeted. They will threaten to sue u and claimed u conned them. One of my email got banned in mudah cos they filed a complain against me. After clarification, mudah removed the ban. What a crap. Nowdays whenever I received email from ppl wanna buy from overseas, I will politely reject them as I do not do overseas trading at the moment. Thats all. Some money are not for me to earn...

Good Advice.
Must insist on Paypal if dealing with international buyers.

Aiyo! I've encounter this so many times in mudah.
Just ignore them la....if u are not greedy urself, u will never ever fall for it

I almost sent my account number to a "so called" buyer from mudah.my but something told me to get a 2nd opinion & ask google. So googled it & remembered LYN, so I posted it here. Thanx to the dudes & dudette of LYN, realized it was a scam.

One thing I notice is they tend to use the same location on the address and says that it's for his/her son in Nigeria. Which is :

"This is my Kid shipping address below:
Name: Taju Arise,
Address : No 24,oyo road UI,
City: Ibadan
State: Oyo
Zip code: 23402
Country:Nigeria
Tel: +23408135007068,
Kindly get back to me with total cost and Bank Detail for payment.. "

Should get a sticky with details like these on mudah or any other selling/buying sites..

This is another trick of this overseas scammers at mudah.

I got this sms with no number but a nickname asking you to email him. How do they send an SMS without a number?
Thru some online free SMS thingy. Dont reply and waste your time

avoid mudah.my, too many scammers!! the managament team from mudah.my doesn't seem to care about these scammers.
