sharing my experience: HELP PLS there's a new modus, and sadly i was a part of it Philippines

guys, i'm not sure kung meron na sa inyong nakaranas nito..or ako lang..of all people 

ganito kasi:
I got a text message several months back, saying if you (me) can post some items for sale sa ebay using my ebay account. syempre ako nung una, bakit..kesyo powerseller daw siya dati, tapos na-hack of some sort yung account niya or what kaya he stopped, and then now he decided to sell again. sabi ko nye ang dali naman kaya gumawa ng account dito, bakit ndi ka gumawa uli.kesyo daw yung madami na daw akong customers and my feedback ratings are high kaya the ad will reach more potential buyers. sabi ko, mahirap kaya yan, malay ko bang di mo ipapadadala yung item tapos reputation ko yung mag-ssuffer. Hindi naman daw siya ganun, and he wouldn't do anything to harm my reputation.

so kulit siya ng kulit via text.until i told him, send me an email regarding the item, i'll look into it. which he did. sabi niya we'll try out 3 items and see the outcome. he even promised a 10% as part of my commission for every closed deal..

this is where my stupidity began..so una, may nabenta, galaxy tab. simple lang naman yung job ko, to post as is, as indicated in the email he sent me and inform him kung may mga inquiries about the item. number pa nga nya yung naka display sa ad e. so ayun nga, the 1st sale went smoothly. tapos he asked for my bank account,sabi niya dun niya iddeposit yung share ko. which i did, receive after several days..ang tanga ko lang, naging complacent ako kasi nga naman i got the money and the client posted positive feedback for my account. in short, to me it felt legit

then came the 2nd, 3rd and 4th sale..ang ginawa nya na pala this time was he instructed the buyers to deposit the payment to my bank account. tapos ako sinasabihan niya to transfer it to his gcash account, kesyo daw kasi di niya maccheck online yung account niya kung pumasok or what and he was not in manila. so ako naman, winidraw ko nga yung pera tapos transferred the money via gcash..stupid me..now looking back, ginawa niya yun para ako at details ko yung nakafront at kung sakaling magreklamo, less exposure for him ika nga 

then, 2weeks ago, i got a complaint saying he hasn't received his item, asan na daw yung refund niya.sabi ko sir, teka lang, im missing something. as you see, hindi po ako yung directly na natransact niyo, i was just a channel , a middle-man kung baga..

then of course i confronted yung naki post ng ads niya. oh by the way is ROBERT SESBRENO..i dunno kung totoong pangalan niya ito or what, demanding an explanation bakit hindi natanggap yung item..tapos sabi niya oo dont worry i'll refund him the money, i won't let anything happen to your reputation ok?

e di syempre my reputation was on the line, i kept on reminding and following him up as well. mabuti naman, naniwala si customer sa akin, and i was working closely with him regarding this robert's status. kasi nga daw promise ng promise nairerefund, delay ng delay naman daw. 

the story was, he sent the iphone 4s via lbc, tapos nawala daw ni lbc. since insured naman daw, Robert will send him the refund. kaso several weeks has passed kaya napilitan na siya magfile ng case.

until such a time that this robert wasn't answering my texts (normally he would reply right away, nor take my calls) kinutuban na ako that something was not right. so i started sending messages regarding if they received the item or not (since i didn't get feedback from them yet) apparently, same story. Item was shipped via lbc, the item got wet naman (for the galaxy note)..tapos eto i got a message from the other customer (who didn't reply to my inquiry nung una) asking for his refund. 

what i did with the first 2 customers who reported the non-arrival of their item, was of course to return whatever share i received from the sale. i'm working out with the 3rd complainant para maisoli ko na sa kanya asap yung share ko sa pera niya..hay 

so guys, what do i do. what do i do to help the customers too? meron na bang case na ganito?or is this the 1st time?

may this serve as a warning to everyone, to be vigilant. porket nakuha na yung loob mo; nagbayad na and all; ok na..that doesn't mean he/she is legit..mauutak na mga scammer ngayon, and sadly i was left in the middle 

now his cellphone number cannot be contacted anymore. pag tinawagan mo yung number, the number you dialled is incorrect, ang sinasabi. what does this message/recording mean? pinablock niya ako?

your thoughts please. i seriously need help 

thank you in advance
