"Paul Pavlinovich 8:51 PM - Public
Hmmmm... that lens I bought appears to be a scam... the seller first sent me a tracking number this morning then six hours later claimed it was stuck in AU customs and I had to pay more to clear it. Then a few minutes later my money was refunded via PayPal (and is now back in my account - verified). Then I got an email asked me to send money directly to the person's bank in China. I didn't know they had Namibians in China. I've contacted ebay to have the tool butt fucked. What's really interesting is that the tracking number still shows a package on the way. Bet its an empty box. Contemplating get hold of Australia Post to tell them in case it's more evil than that.

I don't get it... he refunds the money, but still sends a package? Where's the profit if the victim doesn't play along????
The cost of sending an empty box would be nothing compared to the profit they make when someone trusting enough transfers $500 direct to their bank account and they run off with the money.
Assuming there are people stupid enough to fall for it. Surely not though?

There is at least 1 idiot born every day so these ratbags have a large customer base :angel:

"I see Dumb People!" :)
Bit sad really. :(
me too, I bought some coins from usa for $ 65 au dollars , the coins never arrived , so I emailed the seller and he said he would track the package for me , then told me it had left L A for me and would be in Australia soon , I waited a long time and it never arrived , so I lost out , i was too stupid to apply to paypal for a refund , so it was my fault , so I wear the cost ,. the start of dementia , maybe . ,, kel ,,
We have all made a mistake like that Kel, the secret is to learn from it and maybe save other people. I am still angry with the Mayan Calender for tricking me into drinking all my good wine the night before.!!!!!!!! :dodgy:
