KIM70 contacted me and was interested in purchasing my item. I found it suspicious when I went to send her a payment request via paypal and she did not have an account set up. Once I sent her the request she never responded.

Thanks for the posting....just received an email from BIGLLC and I thought it looked suspicious. Glad to know I'm not just paranoid! Thanks!

I emailed w/BIGLLC several times and then contacted Paypal after a supposed payment was sent to my account. Thanks for letting people know!!!

Yeah, I got some from hardy, too. Including that one...word-for-word. Always trust your gut, and mine told me this one was a scammer. Once I told them I had set up an account thru SafeFunds.Com and they would have to pay me thru that, I never heard from them again. Which is what I figured would happen. LOL!

These guys are dumb. One simple rule. Do not ship anybody anything until you get the money. They are depending on you reacting to an e-mail. Of course I checked my Pay Pal account after the fake e-mail came in and guess what, there was nothing there. This is a lame, lame scam and I am just sorry that it must work out for them once in a blue moon so they keep doing it. I'd like to personally send them a fake package, track it and be there when they get it and beat the crap out of them. I guy can dream right?

Haha @Keither!!! Good one. I got a message today about an item I was selling. I am brand new to this website/selling online and I still immediately knew something was fishy. Like you said...don't ship until you confirm the $ is in your account!!! People should know by now to be cautious of SPAM email...

I would recommend not using paypal as a payment method. I used it 2 yrs ago to buy an item and it turned out to be fake and was scammed out of 3k. Paypal refused to return the money because the sale came from a third party site and there was nothing I could do.

We can't recommend www.safefunds.com enough. We are constantly surprised at how many people do not use this fail proof system of buying and selling. Please do yourself a favor and use it!

I read about safefunds & here's my question.. It looks like a "buyer" can put a "freeze" on the funds by claiming they didn't receive the item, or that it was misrepresented. So what prevents a person from doing this & you getting no money after you've sent your item???
Alecemichelle
DonBon03 should be added to this list. She states she is in Hong Kong but from Australia and has a friend traveling to the United States and would like delivery arranged via courier system. She signs her messages Donna. I see there are other Donna scammers as well. Very fishy.
sergio
