QUOTE(Azzqech @ Dec 30 2021, 10:10 AM) Should be OK. You will probably get an email from their "bank" saying they have received his money but you need to pay something to get it...bla...bla. Just ignore it. Once buyer asks for your email it is most likely a scam. Banks don't need your email to transfer money. Yeah... but since he said he was international and buying for relative here and wanted to pay via wire transfer, email made sense to me.  Lesson learned... I am new to Carousell, had been using Facebook Marketplace all this while and never encountered such issues. |

Yeah, received the scam email already. Ask me to transfer RM500 to a Maybank account, to get my RM60.
I reported the email and account number to mgcc@maybank.com.my and bnmtelelink@bnm.gov.my
Who knows if any action will be taken, but at least I have done my due diligence.

QUOTE(MiLKTea @ Feb 19 2018, 12:53 PM) Once they asked to whatsapp instead of deal in carousell, it's already fishy. Dunno why you proceed to whatsapp them. How so? I prefer whatsapp too over carousell, prefer to COD if its possible. |

QUOTE(bret7 @ Feb 15 2020, 06:17 PM) Is this still a problem now that there's Carousell Protection? Are there any known scams within the Protection system that we should know about? These carousell scam attempt becoz it is dealt outside the carousell payment system. Made purchase within carousell protection system many times so far no issue. kadang kala only item issue after sampai like barang dmg je. Though didn't bother much since is fixable, not obvious, summore kicimiao value. |
