Another scam I came across yesterday was via Craigslist. A person selling his minivan, I replied to the ad asking for more pictures and his phone number so I can call and discuss…and the weirdest reply from the seller (aka fraudster), he sent pictures, did not give a phone number and proceeded to say he needed to sell it fast as he got transferred to Canada and that is why it is so cheap and that I needed to supply him my ebay userid so he could set up a sale via ebay!

My BS o’meter took off like a rocket as why in the world would he want my ebay userid as he could simply email me his ebay listing and I could bid on it or ‘buy it now’ AND he failed to include his phone number in his reply and in a second request I emailed him for his phone number.

Just an fyi – be alert if looking for a car online! Cheers, Tammy

Due to my inability to determine the fact that the United States Treasury banners and website were fraudulent, I applied for my refund only to awaken to the fact that I had been wiped out. The scammers emptied my account and shut down the web site, never to be seen again. Thank heavens for my friendly banker, that took compassion and replaced our money, bounce fees, transfers and every penny we were robbed of. The only evidence of the scam was a withdrawl showing on my account in the name of WWW.BUY-SECURE.COM and some commentary bout “euro exchange” rates…………….
