Hi everyone

There is a new way of internet fraud in several pages of online sales

I share my experience with MercadoLibre

A person who calls for now “Josephine Carpenter” is performing these acts, he enters into many publications and providing feedback like this:

“Contact me through my email, so we can close the deal immediately: jospcarpenter {a} gmail com.”.

Once you respond by email, he immediately responds with the following message:

“Thanks for getting back to me my name is Josephine Carpenter, I’m a sailor from Canada and I’m currently out of Canada and i need your Product as a Birthday Gift to USA and I’ll be glad if you sell this product for me and and I will be responsible for the shipping cost through DHL, So kindly calculate the shipping cost and the overall cost you want to sell the product and send me your bank details so i can make the deposit of the money to your account. Below is the address for you to calculate the shipping cost

First of all, I surfed the Internet searching for the sailor of canada named josephine without results, so I told him that our transaction could be through paypal, i sent my information and he told me he can not make payments through paypal.

Well ok, i sent him my information for deposit through my bank.

The next day he responded

“Hello,

Kindly check your Inbox, Spam.Junk and get back to me as soon as possible with the shipment notification.”
