Hi folks,

I have been recently approached by supposingly 2 different people off the internet via emails. In both cases, they require the goods to be sent to nigeria. The manner which they ask to get the deal done isnt right and I decided to forgo the deal, rather than later regret the decision to go ahead with the deal.

They will ask for your banking details so as to remit the payment thru. However this is where the trouble comes in, the usual double confirming of the features of the product is not mentioned at all which is pretty fishy ... as all of you sellers will agree with me that 10 out of 10 pple will ask this and that regarding the product you are selling.

So this is my warning to all traders, beware, i am predicting a new wave of internet scams coming and do pay extra attention to purchases that is rushing and requires you to send the items to nigeria.

I am wondering also what possible harm can they use with my banking details ???
Like
Bank, Account Name, Account Number ...

Thank you and beware ...

Suspucisious email addresses:
* carlosklinson@gmail.com - carlos klinson (claims that "he" is in UK, but when i ask him to contact my friend in Hull, he contradicts himself by saying he is not in UK)
* collins_marry26@yahoo.com - Collins Marry (turns out that he has a yahoo nick in hongkong ebay)

Makes u wonder why there's still got people that can get conned by this scam...

Oh well ,

This scamming tricks had been around 2 - 3 years ago .

They all uses the lame tricks that said want to buy things from you , your unclaimed money , blah blah blah .

Any emails from the Middle East is probably a spam message / scam .

So , next time becareful .

Middle East got this kind of scam also...? Mostly I received mine from either African Nation or European Country...

Still received it till this day... no way for me to fully blocked them from spamming...

Hi i just had the same incident (even the same adress??!),
But i was wondering, what COULD go wrong actually ??
Nothing can go wrong by giving him my bank account number, right ?
as long as he transfers the money all is happy right ??

Please explain, read my conversation with him underneath.

Is this alright for you ?

ENGR nelson cole:
Thanks for the mail.. i want you to send em your full bank details so
that i can make the payment soon

You got your hope too high dude.. Too high, no ONE would IMPORT anything that EXPENSIVE+HEAVY because delivery cost is already equivalent to the price of what you can get at your own home. 250 euro, doh!

Anyway, that's not important, let's take this it this way.

You gave your bank info unncessarily to other people, so in the end, they decided to do third party scam. You are not involved directly, but indirectly, so they made a police report. You got screwed, who you gonna blame on? They might be doing phishing, so it's better avoid this kind of things.

my advice is just make sure u COD if the place is too far for u just say No.
Tat day i wanted to buy a 8800 arte carbon. This guy selling fake china ones and say its original. My fren beat him up badly.

what is a 8800 arte carbon? computer part?

8800 arte carbon is a nokia limited edition phone la duh..
