The "SMITH'S' from USA - This thread belongs to you!

[Digitrade 10]

There is a tendency by scammers from the USA or other foreign countries that evolved over the last couple of weeks. All sellers must be very careful to release any goods. They will ask you to send the items to some West-African country, and before you know it, you have lost everything. They try to buy very high priced items like cellphones, laptops and gaming consoles.

 

What makes me mad, is that these guys deliberately wastes the listing fees that the sellers paid towards their advertisement. BOB - we need to get rid of these guys!

 

Please blacklist this buyer:

Yup, they bought from me too.. Some-one please sort them out before I lose my temper.. At this rate, I won't be listing any expensive items anymore, especially seeing as I have to wait a total of 14 days now to get back the seller fees... Ratings received by smithsmith on bidorbuy.co.za

& blacklisted - thanks to the team!!

[Digitrade 10]

Well spotted digitrade! you'd think by now they would at least come up with something other than Smith!!! :confused:

[Digitrade 10]

Another one is on a roll again. There are still two more from my previous entry that needs blacklisting. These people are wasting users valuable time, money, efforts and more. CW notified again.

My, word.

 

These guys are seriously determined.

They just don't seem to stop.

[Digitrade 10]

I am starting to wonder if the CW "Spot a problem" link is not just there for the show. What is the use of having this feature over week-ends if nobody monitors what is happening? The last three USA scammers are still open to do business. 7 hours later?! Here is another two:

What's the bet it's all one person with criminal tendencies? :mad: And someone who doesn't realise what excellent sleuths are now part of BoB??

[kebs 15]

It's a bit like doing a crossword or jigsaw puzzle and having to find the missing thingies - just with a bit more social conscience -

[Digitrade 10]

They have now activated the second braincell that they have. They now registered under a different name - : "bugzbunny". Another blacklist please:

roflmao.

 

Sorry Digitrade I know this is a serious problem but I can't believe what is going on. You must be catching them as quick as they register.

 

What a waste of everyone's time. Do you think they are seriously trying to scam or just out to create havoc?

[Digitrade 10]

They are seriously trying to scam. These users only bid on items with a value of R2000 upwards, and then use fake proof of payments to get you to send the item bought. This last user made 11 "purchases" for close to R30000! Over and above that, they "buy" from users who paid R100 for enhanced listings. Money down the drain, as it can not be refunded. This is truly a SERIOUS problem that started.
