I need a little help from a UK, German, Greek or Israel member.


Hello

I am hoping someone can help me. There is a piece of gear listed for sale on a website based in Cyprus. The problem is that I am located in Canada, but the website only takes messages from the UK Germany, Israel and Greece. I have tried, but there is no way for me to get a message through. Would anyone be so kind as to relay my contact information to them by replying to their ad?

thanks

The website is based in Cyprus and seems completely legitimate.

The problem is you have to have a phone number from one of the countries I have listed including Cyprus. 

m.bazaraki.com

there are approximately 300,000 items listed on there

I just went and googled bazaraki.com and asked if it was legit. You need to do the same and then get back to us. Lots of scams on what's considered a "legitimate" site. There's even a site showing how they can scam people. 

Seems like having a phone number from outside your country to make contact with the seller is a great way to make it impossible to contact them should something go wrong.

All the best,

I went on the website and in 10 seconds I could contact any seller via whatsapp. No such phone number required

"the website only takes messages from the UK Germany, Israel and Greece."

I'm sorry, but despite the fact that the website looks legit, one has to at least wonder why any website that's main function is to sell stuff, would only allow you to contact them if you are based in 4 random locations.

Surely there are other options available.

“I went on the website and in 10 seconds I could contact any seller via whatsapp. No such phone number required”.

For me when I clicked on the ad it came up with

“call #xxxxxxxxx”  when you click on that,  a drop down menus appears with only those countries I have listed with no manual input option  

I didn’t see the WhatsApp option. I will have another look. Thanks for this.

I tried the What’s app and still got stone walled at the phone number drop down menu wanting a phone number. The problem is it automatically puts in the area code for that country. With no option to change it.
 

 

 never got any message like that, I just clicked message to sender and it got sent.

Unfortunately now I am on the hook to buy a Porsche 911 as I received a response. :)

 

I guess I will keep digging. Thanks for the reply. 
I hope enjoy your new 911.  I have one and love it😁

Can I give you  the ad and you see if a phone number pops up for you. If it takes you to the sign in page then it would an issue with the ad. If it gives you a phone number could you just pass that phone number or email address. onto me.
 

thanks

I've had a look at that site. The site itself looks legitimate but it is essentially a private adverts site, so any individual transaction is down to the trustworthiness of the specific seller.

Sounds like you are looking to get scammed. Very persistent at it too. 
What’s the item…just curious. 

I think you need to be careful as others have advised.

You may be able to contact them through a VPN network such as Malwarebytes using one of their servers in the four countries

@pkvintage I replied to your message, let me know if you received it and if the number was removed.

Here is the sellers number:

357 nine nine  67V 9V7

For those concerned about my wallet, I am very familiar with the risks of buying and selling overseas and internationally. What I am looking for is not readily available on the used market anywhere. I will be careful and thank you for your concern. 😁
