My sis had participated in a Yahoo overseas auction to buy a piece of jewellery last week. She contacted the seller thru email and they came to deal at an ageed price and ended the auction prematurely. The seller had a condition tho, and that's to send the money via money order or wire transfer directly to his/her account or to a stated address. The seller reasoned that he/she wanted the money urgently so did want a delay thru a third party creditbility company like escrow etc.
So all the neccessary information on the address and account number blah blah was taken and the money was transfered over.
When the transfer was done, my sis notified the seller, she got a thank you reply. And that was it. No more replies and news from the seller anymore. She tried sending the seller tons of mails to ask for a simple reply as to whether she has gotten the money or if the package had been sent out, but no replies watsoever.
I think my sis had been cheated in an internet scam. Damn !!!
And the worse thing is that the money she used is borrowed from me. Kaos. Now all we could do is to wait and see if the package will arrive within this few days. If not, then i think she/we have been cheated already. Haiz
Bro/sis, is there anyway to nab the fellow who is situated in the US jus by having name(might be fake), address and bank account information.? Really hate the idea of being cheated man !!
Thanks
