| 最近在ebay上看到有人以超低价卖出以下物品,卖出价格均说明是500镑,于是我发email试探卖家,果真断定是骗子无疑。
以下是对他骗术的总结:
1) 卖出物品价格非常的低,低得使人难以相信,而且连邮费也包了。尽管他在email里面说自己在Greece
(希腊) 有supplier,有"source directly in the factory"。但鉴于电难硬件行业普遍利润低微,(IBM
的PC 业务部门连续亏损3年,最后不得不和联想合并。电脑硬件行业老大Dell 的profit margin
在2004年也仅有18%。) 从其他网站得知,该些物品的零售价格是卖家卖出价的2到3倍破,绽不言而喻了。
2) 卖家对4样物品的描述各不相同,介绍页面的风格也非常的不一样。在某些物品页面里面,甚至说到了自己最近运气不佳,卖出物品来套取现金。对于一般卖家来讲,介绍物品的网页风格都会比较固定,如字体的大小,网页table颜色的调用等等。
3) 骗子卖出物品的 "Item location 是 East Yorkshire",
但是email 里面却说是Greece 的卖家。诈骗嫌疑非常明显。
4) 骗子不让一般买家直接购买,而是要求买家离开ebay 私下付款。就连bid 的买家都要通过骗子认证。对于真正要做买卖的卖家来讲,这样是非常不方便的。诈骗尾巴再次暴露。
5) 骗子在email甚至说到:
"When you reach a Western Union Office they will
probably ask you who do you send the money to. don't
tell them about our deal. please say you send the funds
to your friend. this way will avoid the high fees. "
这样一来,只要买家向对方付了款,骗子就更加合法的获得了款项,受骗的买家甚至很难向法院起诉对方。
6) 查阅对方以往的交易记录,普遍卖出物品的价值很低。近3个月也没有款项比较大的交易。诈骗嫌疑之6。
这个骗子为什么还能在ebay上面招摇,我推测
1) 是可能在英国有合伙人
2) ebay卖家的帐号给骗子盗用了
最后总结:
1) 英国的ebay也并不是没有骗子的地方,大家今后也要小心留意。
2) 决不接受离开ebay的私下交易,除非卖家的资料掌握的非常详尽。
3) 对于价格严重偏离市场的物品,一定要300%的留心。骗子利用人想贪小便宜的用心是非常明显的。
4) ebay是一个做买卖的地方,和其他的什么购物网站有着本质上的区别。买卖就意味着风险,一定要注意。
5) 大家对自己电脑也要多加保护,要安装杀毒软件和清理间谍软件的工具,并且定期更新。以免自己的个人资料被盗。
最后附上骗子的email,供大家参考
以下是骗子的email原件:
Hello,
The buy it now price is 500 GBP (1000 USD - American
money) with shipment included.Now i want to show you
all the details of the deal :
Right now l'm located in Athens (country:Greece) and
here I met my source directly in the factory.
The product is brand new, factory sealed with ALL the
accesories.It will come with warranty fully transferable
to your name. It will come with the receipt from the
authorized dealer so you can use the warranty at every
authorized service center.
Shipping: I will ship it via UPS but you can choose
other mail carrier .It usually takes 48 hours till the
package arrives to your door. I will cover the shipping
and insurance costs.I send all my packages having written
on them "display unit, no comercial value"
or as a gift so there are no additional taxes. (VAT
included)
Payment: I'm a serious seller and fair trader. During
this period i learned that the best deals are closed
when the risk involved is minimum. You will arrange
payment trough western union. I have something safe
for you because I want you to be sure that you will
receive the product and I hope we will make business
in the future.
Look what I can do for you:
-you will make the transfer to my location but not
to my name(you will use your best friends name as receiver's
name) so you can be sure that i will not pick up the
money until you get the product. Make the payment at
western union and you will give me the transfer's details
so i can check on their site if it's valid. Then I'll
send you the product immediately and email you the tracking#
from UPS.
-only after you will receive the product and check
it you have to change the transfer to my name so i can
collect my money. When you reach a Western Union Office
they will probably ask you who do you send the money
to. don't tell them about our deal. please say you send
the funds to your friend. this way will avoid the high
fees.
My previous buyers made the transfer to my name 'cause
it's easier and i will be happy if you can trust me
and make the transfer the same way but because it's
our first deal i proposed you this very safe and efficient
method so you can only deposit the money first and after
you get the product to allow me to cash it.
Probably this payment method isn't very familiar to
you but since i am in Greece (where is a lot of birocracy
and this method is very used) i used it many times and
my customers were satisfied.
Return policy: In case you'll change your mind after
receiving the package and want to cancel the order you'll
ship it back and retreive the money from western union.
Also in case the delivery does not arrive on time please
email me and I'll contact the mail carrier.
Here is my name and adress you need for the western
union transfer:
Name: Mary Quamby
Street: 10 Atki Poseidonos
City: Piraeus
Zip code: 18531
Country: Greece
I look forward hearing from you.
Best Regards!
ebay本身也是提倡不要和ebay外的卖家私下交易,因为一旦诈骗发生,ebay也难以想警方出示有效的资料。破案难度大增。另外,我本身也对ebay处理诈骗的能力和速度非常的怀疑。因此,大家今后在ebay上一定要多加小心,主动保护自己的利益。
