別鬧了!假伯樂之Etsy拍賣網站詐騙術
這是一篇有關詐騙的故事，有被詐騙之虞的以下可以看看無妨。
我在Etsy販售一個美金一千多塊錢的東西，在站上算是金額不小，擱置半年餘乏人問津。忽然有一展現誠意的買家，信件一堆專有名詞，以及關於名詞的解釋，不善英文跟數字的我，招集各方人馬研究許久，信上是這麼說的...
I am interested in the immediate purchase of your item and will be make payment via cashier check/money order, my private shipping company will handle the shipping, but before payment will be made i need to be sure of who i am dealing with if you are going to be honest and sincere throughout the transaction.
A certified cashiers check is cash-able the same day,there is going to be an excess fund on the check ,the excess fund is meant for the
private shipping company who will come to your place for pick up of the item, so shipping is not a problem,will you be able to transfer the excess fund to the shipping company the same day you receive the check?.
check would be sent to you so when you get payment you can easily cash it at any cashing point near you or deposit in your bank.
You'll be sending excess fund to my shipper , which would be meant for shipping arrangement.if you agree, signify your interest by forwarding to me your Final Asking Price, Full Name & Contact Address and Tel # also i will want you to email to my husband private email address teeemaday@yahoo.com make sure you reply back to my husband email,So plz kindly email me to my email address I await your response soonest.
Best and kind regards,
內容大抵是這樣：
1. 他們會問你是不是一個誠實的人(我心裡回答我當然是啊)
2. 他們想支付本票cashier check/money order(美國當地很盛行，但使用這種付款方式賣方會有跳票風險)
3.他們堅持使用私人貨運公司private shipping company(待貿易公司的朋友說似乎有這玩意)
4. 他們會多付錢給你，然後要求你支付多餘費用(excess fund)給貨運公司
不想擋自己財路，但被騙得不償失還是小心為上。
首先，我上GOOGLE查他的email，沒任何資料...一個正常的網路使用者mail多少有點資料吧!在拍賣網站資料也是空白，而且是當天才註冊。
我想多了解有關cashier check/money order查到有關"詐騙"的文章，手法相似點是要求賣家支付乍看下具有合理性的名目費用，我開始懷疑是詐欺....我真不希望是詐欺，我想替家人買點.....
如果是詐欺，拍賣網上會有人討論吧~果然搜"spam”有一堆，這種手法國外正流行!而且還有學名真是諷刺..."Nigerian scam" 或"419 scam"也就是預付費用詐欺，翻成中文親切多了。
交易的原則遵守收到貨款，東西再出去，也別替陌生人想太多，替自己多想一點，免得上當。
