Have a wanted ad up for an 01v96 at the moment.

Just got approached by a Polish fella trying to sell me one. Shame he used photos I recognised from a recent ebay auction. Beware the Polish contacting you at the moment!

You'll probably get something generic like I did:

"From: marcinmazur@polandmail.com

Hello Friend,

Hope you are doing fine..My name is Mazur from Poland..How you still interested in your posted advert..Let me know thanks"



The eBay auction that finished recently that he got the photos from...



Watch out!

[kierownik]

Hello everybody!
Sorry for my not too good english. I'm unfortunately victim of scammer. I wanted to buy blu-ray OPPO 83SE and gave adv. in polish hi-fi forum. He sent me response that he had one but his name was Peter Chamberlain.

"My name is Peter Chamberlain from London...I am contacting you regarding your advert you place on website that you are looking for the above subject...I have it in very good condition and if still interested,Let me know and i will forward you details of the item and i will also need your shipping address and telephone number to calculate the shipping cost to your destination.My mode of payment is Via Paypal,Western union,MoneyGram..Bank wire transfer..Let me know which method you prefer and i ship the next day after payment has been receive..My phone number is +447024029617..Feel free to call me anytime for further discussion or email me back thanks and hope to hear from you soon"


I was stupid and I believed him. I payed money by PayPal. It was about 18 July. There was no such an informations in net about him, probably it was beginning. Of course I didn't get item and money back. He all the time was promissing that he was honest.
Now I'm angry more beacause he uses my personal name. My name is Marcin Mazur. I live in Poland. Mr. Chamberlain ( surely it is also not his name) USES MY NAME to find next naive people. He even created new e-mail address using my name. He only left his own phone number +447024029617. I know that I was stupid and naive and I lost my money but it is terrible when You see your own name using by scammer. I don't know what to do now...

[Phil O]

I take it that you have looked into Paypal recovery procedures? Paypal is not like Western Union. I believe there are certain steps that can be taken in such circumstances.

[kierownik]

Unfortunately it is rather too late. It is 45 days in PayPal for these procedures. I didn't find any info in net about Mr. Chamberlain when I was paying my money. He gave his word of honour that he was honest. Then he promissed to give my money back. I found different posts of him about one week ago. When I wrote to him about this he stopped contact with me.

These past few months the only responses I've had to my SOS Ads are via scammers... they're so blatantly obvious too, I just don't get how they think they can trick us into dealing with them!!! Has anyone else seen this trend or is it just me!?!?!

wow.

I never read this post before. I just had a problem with the very same guy. I bought a 15m snake from him. didn't turn up. 3 emails. no reply. I managed to track him down on Facebook. contacted him there. He said DHL had posted it to the wrong address, and he would send another one he happened to have. ;)

I got it 3 weeks later. Was very close to contacting Ebay to get my money back.

[SafeandSound Mastering]

Some forums have a sub title you can select from a drop down box when you post with a more specific topic.

If you had one of those on the forums i.e.

mics
guitar
mastering
etc. etc.

All posts could reside in 1 forum then the webmaster could add a "show only title : mastering" button for example, is it possible?

cheers

... probably a "shutting the stable-door" job here, but anyway...

EBay Trader SHAHHEN ABDULLAH worked a clever scam with hookey audio software, but managed to issue registration codes that were valid for about six months... Box, CD, printing etc all looked absolutely OK. Also got 100% positive feedback!!

Then when the software stops working EBay and PayPal don't want to know as it's outside their 45-day cut-off. That also means, that they won't be after him for the money. Of course, he's "No longer a Registered Trader" and absolutely no trace through Google.

Apparently well-known to Acoustica, who have had numerous contacts (included mine) of the "Why is my software asking for registration codes?" variety.

Ah well... my first 'fingers burnt'/lost money in about 350 EBay transactions. The very few other 'iffy' ones have all been sorted through EBay/PayPal :frown:
