Anonymous Diss, Norfolk, United Kingdom 2012-12-29 11:54:14 Classified Ads Scam Gumtree | +2 Gumtree car or auto payment using google checkout or amazon payments
The picture on Gumtree contains the email address - no other contact details used. The scammer replies to an inquiry saying that he will use \"Google checkout\" or \"Amazon payments\" to protect the seller and buyer. He tries to convince you that this gives some sort of escrow-type service or a cooling off period before payment is really taken. He will ask for the buyer\'s name, address and phone number which are then used by him to send a genuine-looking email from \"google checkout\" or \"amazon payments\" which seems to confirm everything that the seller has said. The email will ask that a payment be submitted via Bank Wire Transfer or BACS-BIPS service to the \"Google/Amazon Checkout Bank Account\" Google Checkout Account Bank details: Bank Name: LA CAIXA Bank Address: C.Alfredo Aleix, 33 / Madrid, 28044, Spain Account Holder/Beneficiary Name: Stefan Ionut Traistaru Account number (IBAN): ES84 2100 3666 4721 0041 3064 Swift/Bic: CAIXESBB After you wire the money you are asked to confirm the payment to Google Checkout Financial Department by faxing the payment receipt from your bank at the following number : 0872 331 6279 or reply google-checkout@msgserver.com with a scanned copy of the payment receipt. May well be the same people as this: http://www.scamdex.com/ScamTipReports/6699 This seems to be a genuine bank account, probably created using forged ID. |
