I'm here in Canada, and yesterday I out an ad on Kijiji to sell a car. Within 15 minutes I received a text enquiry. Seemed legit at first but they very quickly wanted to pay me $35,000 by PayPay and would arrange to pick up the vehicle after I had received the payment. So I'm thinking this has got to be a scam. Check the phone number attached to the text and see the County code is Chad. They asked for my PayPal account and my email address. I told them my account is Gofuckyourself. Still tyring to figure out how the scam was supposed to unfold???
Fraud and scam, how many of you are victims?
I was a victim of the most unpleasant experience just recently.I thought i was buying a preamp, but it proves i have been sending money to a scammer. It turns out the seller had been using a stolen ID and digitally manipulated photos.
I managed to get in contact with the fellow whos ID had been stolen, and it proves many more have been scammed like me. I'd like to point out that this is NOT through Audiogon, but another big sight.
Utterly painful when it's borrowed money. This makes me totally rethink any future purchase on the used marked.
I wonder how many of you fellow audio-friends have had this happen to you?
