Fraudes en Ebay

Os contare un intento de timo que estan intentando hacerme por ebay.

Actualmente estoy vendiendo un Nokia n95 por 250 Euros, y un tal beryl628, me manda el siguiente correo:

Hello Seller,

Traduccion rápida: Me ofrece 400 Euros por el movil mas los gastos de envio ocasionados.

Hasta aqui todo parece correcto, aunque el mero echo que te den el correo personal, ya resulta un poco sospechoso.

Yo le contesto, y me manda el siguiente correo:

Thanks for your mail,

Sound Good, Nice to hear back from you. after all i understood all what you said concerning the item, and i think the price you offered is fine Please go through this following content to know the working condition of the item:

Full Name for the item:

Please send me all this as it was listed in this email.

Moreover,the item will be sending to my son address in Nigeria who want to use it through POST OFFICE 3-7days shipment and make sure everything is packing safety.

the payment made for paying the item will be made through paypal,and don't forget that i told you in my first email that am from canada, and i don't want you to be scared about the price gaving to you, i just want everything to get secure as soon as the item will be shiping to the final destination.


I want you to give me the following details for the payment:

Traduccion Rapida: Me dice que le de mi cuenta de paypal, pero que lo envia a Nigeria, que el me pagara desde su cuenta de canada.

Asi que parece todo correcto, en teoria, yo le doy mi cuenta paypal, el me paga, y cuando reciba el dinero en paypal se lo envio.....

Pero buscando por internet sobre envios a nigeria.... me aparecio muchisima informacion sobre el tema:

Aqui esta el engaño, una cosa es que en paypal aparezca el dinero, y otra cosa diferente es que haya dinero en la cuenta desde donde el supuesto comprador paga a paypal. Asi que lo logico seria esperar a que apareciese el dinero en la cuenta con un correo de paypal.

Pero el problema esta, en que no es nada complicado hacernos llegar un correo de parte de paypal (suplantacion de identidad pura y dura), diciendonos que la transaccion es correcta, y que el dinero seguro que llegara. Con lo que al mandar el paquete..... pues como que te has quedado sin el.

No os dejeis engañar con anuncios de este tipo. y notificar siempre a ebay, o a la pagina donde haceis la compra venta de estas cosas. Hay gente que les han quitado asi portatiles, consolas, moviles... incluso vehiculos!!!!

Un Saludo!!!
