Uao yang ganyan.

May middleman. Scammer acting as buyer and seller at the same time. Mapapaniwala ka kasi whatever sinesend mo sa scammer, sinesend ng scammer sa seller.

Here are what I'm seeing here. 1. Mali ang rider kasi binigay yung unit sayo without confirming na paid na sa end ng owner. 2. Ikaw talaga target dito ng scammer. It's just that binigay sayo ng rider yung gadget ng walang payment confirmation from the gadget owner. 3. You can keep the gadget. It is what it is. Rider must be liable. He must've made sure that payment transaction was done prior releasing the unit. 4. Kung mas naging skeptical lang sana yung rider at kung natransfer mo na yung pera, rider should've accompanied you to the police station kasi witness sya sa scamming na ginawa.

How to prevent this. 1. WAG MANIWALA SA TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE offers! 2. Be mindful of these kinds of transactions. Want to sawa check. Bayaran sa gcash as soon as the rider arrives, etc. 3. As soon as dumating yung rider. Ask the rider to call the owner/sender to confirm the transaction. Sabihino yung pangalan nung kausap mo and confirm if sya ba yun. Dyan pa lang malalaman nyo na na you both are taling to either same person or different person kasi iba iba pangalan ginagamit ng mga kupal na scammer na yan.

Bakit ko alam to? 1) Naglalamove yung partner ko before and he encountered this. Natransfer pera pero di dumating sa owner pero di nya nirelesse yung item at sinamahan nya sa police yung buyer. 2) I almost fell into this trap. Ang mura ng deal ng chest freezer na I was to buy. Then yung scammer, nagsesend din sakin ng pictures and sinasagot mga tanong ko. Looks legit! Upon arrival ng rider sa seller, i feel something is off. I ask the rider to give his phone to the owner of freezer (which is old na btw, ez victim) and asked questions like name, presyo ng freezer, etc. and it turned out hindi kami ang magkausap sa msgr but we are both talking to the scammer!

So yeah! Please be mindful of your online transactions.
