WarningsWarning: Scams
Details:
Well there are back targeting the members who use this site. We can not give out the details that we are given but by all means you can share them between yourselves. Unfortunately we cannot do anything about this as there is no restrictions on anyone reading these adverts. If we made everybody sign in it still wouldn't stop the problem as the scammers, who seem to be genuine would just sign in. What can be done is for the advertisers to be be more aware. It seems as if the pattern is repeated. The seller works away, fishing vessel seems to be a common one. They always need a bank transfer. Now a few questions: Do they supply photographs? Do they seem knowledgeable ? One way to sort a scammer out would be to tell them you have a friend in the area who is prepared to collect and pay cash. Anyone backing away from this would seem very suspect to me. Don't use payment methods that you cannot reverse (PayPal and that type of site will protect you from this type of scam and they won't use it) Now when a bank transfer is made and nothing happens has anyone contacted the police in the area the bank is located ? This is fraud after all. If you do want to post information on this please visit our forums. You can also report it to the police via Action Fraud or on 0300 123 2040 Very easy to do they collate all Fraud with the Metropolitan Police, this was a request from a person at Action Fraud. |
