Just met a Fraudster!! Fortunately, discovered it’s fake and did not deliver my goods or else I would lost my postage fee and also the handling fee for the returned goods (normally it is a dummy address)
My case is as follow:
A buyer “brick sung <bricksung00@gmail.com>” asked me to deliver my product to Malaysia. I sent him the paypal invoice for payment and he said he doesn’t have one. Lateron, he asked me to send him my bank account details and there is a fraudulent email like below:
From: Capital One Bank <COBcredit.international@secureroot.com>

*** RECEIVER’S INFORMATION ***(Provided by yourself!!)
Ebay is safe as long as you follow the correct process. Do not do any transactions off-site if someone emails you privately asking for your Paypal account, ignore them. Always make them bid through Ebay. And make sure you only ship to the buyer’s registered Paypal address. Never ship to Nigeria, Paypal does not allow Nigerian accounts so you know this is a fraud if you are being asked to send something there. And when you do send anything, make sure there is a tracking number and signature required at delivery, then keep a copy of the delivery confirmation or several months. If you don’t, the buyer can always claim they never received the item and if you don’t have proof of delivery, Ebay will refund their money from your Paypal account. You are the one who has to prove the item was signed for, not the buyer.
