eBay Suspended & PayPal Limited Forums - !!BEWARE!!! New scam online

As it's related to eBay I wanted to post it here

Story: Women posted into one of local facebook groups that she is looking for people who got eBay experience and would like to earn extra £500 per month.

After my question about visiting her she have just dissapeared, clearly some kind of scam, I believe that if you would put their item for sale they will buy it themselves from you out of stealth account and after they get their money back of you they would claim it through PayPal. - this is just one theory.

A good reason to never buy or respond from anybody on facebook or my mom likes to call it "facyboook".

You could also sell the stuff and give her the money and then she gives ⊗⊗⊗⊗ tracking and all the claims go against your ebay account while she has the money.. from the way that is worded.

I wonder if they are also the same people that are my Nigerian cousin and that I won 5 million USD. I have to send a $50 processing fee to their lawyer.

I think I am going to do it, overall that Nigerian cousin sounds real to me.

Craigslist is utter crap.

Tired of getting emails about they will pay me 300 dollars in a certified check for a 50 cent bag of doritos but they are out of the states until novtober 45th due to their sick italian cousin in new guinea.

Dunno.. Seems like a really good way to make money to me. Could you please forward me her details so I can perhaps boost my sales for Christmas?

Sounds like a dream job.

Re: !!BEWARE!!! New scam online

So I sell an item I dont have. Someone buys it. I send the money to some stranger. And then I never hear from this stranger again.

Meanwhile the buyer opens a case and ebay takes the buyers payment from my own money.

Elaborate, yet so stupid

The bottom line is, if you are going to dropship, then you better make damn sure they are legitimate, or it is YOU that will be left holding the bag.
