I sold an item recently and I'm completely sure the buyer is a scam. May be I'm new here but Im not new treading though internet so I can recognize some tricks (I didn't sent the item yet and I wont)
1) The buyer is right new, he register in just 10 minutes before buy my expensive item (luxury watch above 2500u$).
2) That's means also "0" (zero) feedback...
3) His eBid profile shows an USA address but he 's asking to deliver the item to Malaysia.
4) The buyers urges me with the delivery because some personal reasons.
5) Even when I don't have ANY report in my Paypal account about his transaction "somebody" (claiming to be Paypal, Paypal format page) sent me two mails already explaining that the payment was been sent it already but is holding as a "pending" (no pending payments in my Paypal account) until the shipping tracking number is sent it to the costumer.
6) Every single link in those "Paypal's mails" (blue underlined texts) are just images... no links no text... don't go to anywhere.
7) Extracted from "Paypal's fake mails":
"...We have rigorously examined and confirmed the Payment to be VALID.
Go ahead and create the shipment to the buyers desired shipping address blow.
Held funds can only be released to your account after shipment has been verified
This PayPal® payment has been deducted from the buyer's account and has been "APPROVED" but will not be credited to your account until the shipment tracking number is confirmed by our shipment verification unit
paypal@transferalert.co.cc so as to secure both the buyer and the seller...."
(capital letters as in the original)
8)
paypal@transferalert.co.cc.
(user).co.cc are free domains, not a real Paypal domain and Paypal never sent you a direct mail about a payments.
How can I report it???? Can Ebid take any action???
WHAT CAN I DO???!!! (regarding not sending the item)
Thx!
