carousell

Recently been using carousell to sell my pre-loved stuff online.

The request was quite a lot but... also a lot of scammer.

My own experience:
Scammer Type 1:
Currently living oversea (usually UK). Send money and tell u the bank over-charged. Warn you that you have to refund the excess amount or the FBI will take action.

Seriously?
Example:

Bank requesting shipping confirmation to release fund? Since when?

Amount too small. So the bank transfer a bigger amount but put the transaction on-hold until you refunded back the excess amount (before any money actually went into your account)

FBI is so free they are now not only working on the U.S. ; Also in Europe, particularly on fraud cases because terrorists are nothing compare to some fraud cases.

Lastly, an actual exchange of email with a scammer. The manner. Unbelievable.

So....

Beware
