I've been using Sulit for over a year now.  I consistently post an ad and its just that I dont push to get a feedback from clients. Anyway, I recently posted some ads (watches) and its my first time to encounter these Nigerian scammers. 

Mary Carey mccarey8@gmail.com sent me a pm regarding my tommy watches. Said that she will get them for $600usd and I'll take care of the shipping to Lagos Nigeria. Then  I received notifications from paypal about a payment.Dear Paolo Abrea ,

It goes like this--
You received a payment of $600.00 USD from Mary Carey (mccarey8@gmail.com)
Thanks for using PayPal. You can now send any items once the shipment tracking number is sent to us. 

It may take a few moments for this transaction to appear in the Recent Activity list in your Account Overview.

Thank you for using PayPal. This is to inform you that a review of recent transaction made to your account by Mary Carey (mccarey8@gmail.com)  indicates that you have received a payment but it is currently pending for shipment verification due to the security measures we've taken. 
 Your payment is safe with us and this security measure is invented due to high rates of complains from buyers that after payment has been received by sellers, sellers hesitate to ship out the items.
 Therefore, carry out the shipment as instructed, send us the shipment tracking details of the package and your account will be credited immediately we've confirmed and authentically verified the shipment tracking number.

naku scam yan, pag na ship mo na yung item mo, bigla mag fifile ng reversal yung buyer tapos mababawi nya yung pera nya while yung item mo is on the way na sa kanya.

Navictimized ako ng mga hayup na Africans na yan. They used a FAKE Paypal mail saying binayaran na ako with my paypal account.

Dapat mabigyan ng malaking warning ang lahat ng mga SULIT members about sa scam ng mga hayup na AFricans na yan. Nabiktima ako last week for my second hand ipad.

The big lesson i got here is never ever transact with foreign people even in our local buyers/sellers wherein a product needs to be shipped. Cyber fraud/hacking/fake emails/fake website are very much on the go in this modern world so be very careful and wary. Even if you will meet someone as seller/buyer, be careful as well. You might want to check their feedbacks but i am not sure if that is authentic all the time. Ika nga, wala kang dapat pagkatiwalaan kundi sarili mo lang.

Searching all the scammers in the net, most of them are AFRICANS. I am now starting to believe that they are the most fraud people in the universe.

marami silang ginagamit na email address. Yung sa akin ay rose.brenda@yahoo.com then yung fake paypal email address na ginamit ay service@paypal.sg.com wherein sasabihin na nagbayad na ng ganitong amount sa paypal account mo. Then irerequest na kailangang iship agad within 24 hours yung item and then sabihin agad ang tracking number from forwarding company kung saan mo pinadala ang item para maifully credit yung pera sa paypal account mo. Nakapending daw ang pera hanggang sa fully mareceive ang item nung buyer. Kapag naman nadeliver na, sasabihin na sumobra yung padalang pera kaya kailangang ibalik ang sobra via western union para macredit na talaga yung pera including yung ginamit na amount for money transfer sa Western Union. Kailangan din daw na maibalik agad ang pera within 24 hours pero bigla akong napaisip bago ako magpunta ng Western Union. Bakit puro palabas ang pera ko including yung item kaya nagtry lang ako maggoogle searching about paypal scam or yung fake email address. Hayun, bigla akong nanlumo after lumabas sa google result na scam nga...kinonsensya ko ng kinonsyensya yung sender pero walang nangyari. halang ang kaluluwa. Taga GHANA yung nanloko sa akin which is an African country. Nagtry din ako magemail sa isang Ghana publication sa isang website. Wala ring reply...Hayy, tinanggap ko na lang sa sarili ko na para akong nanakawan ng isang ipad na second hand..buti na lang na second hand lang sya, pinakamababang model at unang version. Medyo mababa na rin value nya kung tutuusin. Bottomline, dont transact via foreigners especially when you are required to ship the item. I am writing this in full for the benefit of all Sulit citizens.
