Just received this from a stealth seller

Just received the following email in to my spam box from a stealth seller (won't name who).

This is what they are offering ?

Can somebody explain this scam ? because it clearly is.

I’m sure they’ll just take a bank/bitcoin transfer, not do anything and stop replying. I don’t understand what they’re offering to be honest but maybe some sort of identity theft as well?

Carding comes to mind, but I don't see how they could bypass AVS and make the card payments go through on accounts located in tons of different random places.

Either carding-related or a straight up take-your-money-and-ghost-you scam.

By stealth seller, do you mean it's from one of the account sellers here?

we need to know who he is to properly investigate. It might be a username similar to one of the sellers... many scammmers are like that recently.

PM any moderator or admin, pls.

I was thinking the same in regards to carding.

So basically eventually ebay will suspend you a few months down the line when they discover payments have been made to them using a stolen credit card.

So whose the Scammer?

Sorry guys, I didn't mean it to come across as some one on this forum. Tinsoldier is correct I was referring to my email. It's one of those stealth seller/stores with their own website that I approached prior to using this website properly.

Clearly a scam or carding

Just need to use common sense here.
