hi guys,
after reading so much about 3rd party scams in the dispute corner...i suddenly came up with another tactic... i dunno wether this tactic has been used or not but just share with you guys before anything like this happens...

A-seller
B-buyer
C-conman

1. A selling things and open up a topic
2. B buyer interested and replied to the thread to ask for best price/more info
3. C comes in and contact B in internet messenger/email claiming to be the seller of that thread
4. B bank in into the account of A and C said that the item will arrived in bla bla bla days
5. C contact A and say he already bank in the money to A's account
6. A sends the item to address C given


In the end: the conman gets the item that the buyer paid for...

this is very similar to some of the tactics some are using now... hope online buyers beware and dont fall for this kind of trap... icon_rolleyes.gif
