Queen's Command: SCAMMER ALERT!

SCAMMER ALERT!

So as I did mentioned in one of my past post that I was trying to sell my Samsung camera
as I really wanted that new camera.

However, I wanna try to be able to cover as much cost as possible.

I've received an email days ago, from SCAMMER!
Points to note:-

1) He asked if it's still available.

2) He tells you grandmother story like "I'm getting for my daughter who is in Malaysia, however he is from US.

3) All he ever does was to ask for prices and shipping charges only, didn't even asked for pictures until I offered to show him.(Will you ever wanna buy used item online but yet never request for pictures? NOT FOR ME LAH!)

Okay, I don't buy used item though.
4) I tried tested him by telling him, I will only ship out the items after the cash is in, he agreed.
5) But here comes the payment time..

Hello am happy to tell you that I have made the payment into your bank

account,kindly check your email both inbox,spam and junk email for the

payment confirmation from Citibank what you have to do now is that you

get the item shipped and send the Shipment receipt and Tracking Number

to Citibank for verification and after Citibank verify the Shipment

the money will be fully credit into your account thanks reply asap.."

WHAT?! MEANS MY MONEY WON'T COMES IN UNTIL I SHIP THE ITEM OUT?!

SOUNDS LIKE A FRAUD!

Next moment, I've really got an email, subject: ***TRANSFER CONFIRMATION***

Signing off: THANKS FOR USING CITI-BANK® ONLINE TRANSFER.

One look at this email, it looked really fake and super unprofessional. Since when banks will use such format..

or rather does bankers email client personally? Isn't citibank's email should end with citibank.com or whatsoever?

I went on to google the contact number. I was linked to all the scammer alerts and surprisingly, email format/style are all the same just sent using different name.

What if I didn't check? But I really thank God I've checked, otherwise I would have lose my camera just like that.

Google is really super helpful. I was nearly a victim, so close..

Guys, please be really careful when you're selling stuff online. Always be on high alerts for scammer.

Always check and double check or even triple check.

Don't be the next victim.

xoxo
