Re: verowatch
 

i can see you read the last email and have ignored it.


We have suspended your iOffer account in full.


We will now be reporting your items sold over three years to PayPal Crime unit and Interpol at https://www.interpol.int/


We will be able to work with PayPal to obtain your real details for prosecution and will be prosecuting for two of our clients.


PayPal will freeze your account pending an investigation into your sales made.

They could watch your account and once they see everything is removed - send you that letter. Not sure how it works with iOffer, but with eBay it is easy to put some kind of monitoring on certain accounts doing same things, like selling VERO, and once they are "no longer a registered user" - send them happy letters.

Re: verowatch
 

yes but i don't removed my items. so they did...

Re: verowatch
 

i have no choice, i have to pay..

Re: verowatch
 

As mentioned above, they can monitor your activity on iOffer and once iOffer shuts you down - they attack you with their scams.

Re: verowatch
 

You can check their banking details, would be nice to see. Also, you need all their corporate details and proofs of if they are allowed to represent these offended brands. They MUST provide these papers if they are legit.

Re: verowatch
 

they warned me at 3pm and asked me too answer under 24 hours. and 7 hours later my account is closed....

Re: verowatch
 

Ask them about what items exactly they didn't like, and ask them to provide any documentation giving them right to represent Intellectual Rights owners, as well as their full company details. I had when a company from Russia was trying to sue me for breaking some intellectual rights, but they have failed to contact me from Europe, as I don't care about non-EU companies. Same here, they should provide pretty specific documents so you would just start considering their statements at all.

Re: verowatch
 

i'm in big trouble. they don't want to let me pay anymore because i didn"t answer to their mails..

Re: verowatch
 

Sorry,* no, there is nothing to answer.*


We gave you an opportunity to resolve the situation amicably, you said you would resolve the matter out of Court by paying our clients legal fees of 1 hour, there has now been 2 hours of work on this situation.

You ignored our emails to resolve the matter.


Therefore we will be proceeding with legal action tomorrow.

Re: verowatch
 

Their communication sounds very rude, aggressive and unprofessional. Ok, let's see what would they do.

Re: verowatch
 

i beg them to let me pay..

Re: verowatch
 

First you need to make sure they are a real deal. No payments should be done unless you are 100% sure.

Re: verowatch
 

The unanimous consensus amongst users here is this sounded like a scam. There is a reason for this. This chap who reached out to you was asking you for money, and making threats otherwise. These are red flags of extortion.

I don't know why your listings were removed from ioffer, but if I was in your predicament, and I speak only for myself here, I still wouldn't pay this chap. From reading your messages, they were contacting you from a GMAIL account, doesn't look like it was even in their company name.

Furthermore they asked for payment, usually they wouldn't ask for such payments via PayPal.

Everything still sounds too fishy.

Have you asked ioffer why your listings were removed, instead of wasting time with this chap?

Re: verowatch
 

yes i have a message explaining my suspension : Account has been suspended by ioffer cop verowatch about 2 items for violating third party intellectual property.
yes it smells like a scam but indeed my answers to their mails were tracked with confirmation and time when i opened it..

Re: verowatch
 

In that case if you genuinely feel this is legitimate, tell them the truth. You thought it was a scam. Tell them how there are others imitating their company sending scam emails like this, so you had good reason to doubt the authenticity of their emails.

Re: verowatch
 

couldn't sleep that night. so i send them money despite the fact that they told me it was too late.
i reply that they told me in their previous mail that i have 24 hours before any other actions..

Re: verowatch
 

Well, did the iOffer themself gave you a reference to verowatch?

Re: verowatch
 

yes, its was written in the suspension notice

Re: verowatch
 

Most important btw, is your account real?

Re: verowatch
 

no it was not..
so i paid and received an invoive and out or court settlement letter from a lawyer of the company...

Re: verowatch
 

If it is not - then all claims are to stealth details then?
