warning to all internet sellers

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone,

 

This is sort of off topic I guess but important none the less. It is

the season for sales and I was contacted by one of theses great

Nigerian scam artists. This one is not new but aimed at us on line

sellers. They contact you wanting to buy. You send them a price they

agree and send their " credit card info " . These cards are stolen and

by the time merchants are realizing the problem they have already

shipped the goods. The thieves then get the goods and resell them. I

just wanted to give those who run businesses a heads up. This holiday

season be careful how you sell your goods.

Hi..

 

also watch out if you receive money orders.( I guess nobody does at these times)

but jsut in case )

 

I friend of mine sold something on EBay and received the money order with more

money than requested.

 

asking the guy what was that, they gave him an address in Florida to send the

" extra money " from the money order to somebody else.

 

so the point was  that they where going to be making 500 dollars from

a counterfeit money order.

 

ovbiously my friend didn't accept the " suggestion " and told them " " " no

business. " " "

 

for me that was something new. I jsut share this just in case....

 

thanks

 

Tarika
