 Beware the fraudulent trader |
|
Nov 03, 2009 - by Stuart Wright
|
Recently a particularly nasty individual has been registering with login names similar to traders with goods for sale in our classified forums.
He/she has been finding people who had made offers on the goods but had been turned down by the trader.
He/she has then been sending private messages to these people pretending to be the original trader. In the PMs he/she stated that they had changed their mind, agreed to the offer and asked for payment.
One person has been taken in by this scam and sent a bank transfer. We will be assisting this person and the police in securing a prosecution.
So far we have been able to ban all the existing and new accounts by this scammer.
But we ask that you please *always* follow our trading guidelines and in particular, do not, under any circumstances, negotiate or agree trades by private message.
I will be adding all the information we have about this person when I have collated it shortly. We will be trying to uncover as much information about them as possible.
Thanks go to the moderators for helping to identify and deal with this scammer
