Scammer?

[trippy_K82]

Ok guys. Found this guy selling stuff online. I said Cod, he say ok. Later say cannot make it. Then say post to me. I said no I don't deal that way. He insist he got no time to cod. Fine. Took a gamble. After that Mia 2 days. Finally responds to my messages. Say hisham call him. Ask him pay fine.1.2k. Says I should cough up half. Say if go court will be double fine. Keep repeating they got my address. But don't have his. But then how they got number to call him? Sounds very smelly. Opinions? Yes I know I'm silly to trust. Don't scold anymore k?

People fart you dont tarik no problem...

 

[trippy_K82]

the more i analyze, the more i feel is scammer. sighs. expensive lesson.

main question is, Hisham don't operate this way right?

eg, confiscate mail, call mailer, impose fine, make appointment, threaten that if go court will be double fine.

btw the fella now threatening me. say i play him etc. pfft. ignoring him.

Dude jusy ignore this guy, hes prolly the one playing you instead. If hisham really has your address they would have sent a letter to you.

 

[Paul lamb]

^^^^ yep

Anything like this would be more formal and letters to your address would be the first step

Alright. This has been said before but guys, pls pls pls dont do deposits or postage or whatever except for cod. Unless hes a trusted supplier whom you know, then its ok. If not, then dont expect to meet this guys or even a reply from him/her after transferring him money for so called deposits.

 

[HiShAm]

How come he got your address?
COD till send to your home?

Yep definitely scammer..maybe ask him for proof of summon? Hisham where got call ask for money.

If you remember previously some guy were selling stuff online, none of the buyers got charged. Only got called up for interviews to get more info to charge that guy.

why say you play him? He is the supplier what unless it was pre-agree mass order together or what is not what the hell. He was want to be blackmarket his risk what the he charge the extra is for those risk. Just ignore buyer the most warning he supplier expose lo see who get into more trouble stupid fella.

I totally forgot about the no deposit rule in my excitement to get my gear. this is the price to pay lor. please learn from this goondu's mistake. and take the advice seriously. lucky for me the amount lost while not small, is not so big also.

Sounds like a scam to me .... ask him come out meet you, you give him the $1200 lol

But of coz dont go lah hahahha these people deserve it

No. We do NOT out individuals in the forums like this. You can warn each other generally, but there will be absolutely NO personal information displayed.

 

[Karstine]

If you are still scared of the scammer's threat, look at it this way.

Are you a distributor? No. But your scammer is one.
Do you import your gear? No. But your scammer did.
Do you sell your gear? No. But your scammer tried to sell.

So looking at the three points above, who is going to kena more? You or the scammer? You will just be let off with one small warning IF they bother to send you a letter. The scammer on the other hand, if you ever report him to the police, he will kena under the new e-cig rule plus for threatening you.
