Just that stumbled upon this type of fraud: happy:
I saw an auction on ebee, the seller (top seller, rating 798 (99.8%)) exhibited "iPhone 4 32GB officially unlocked" with the following price tag:
1 piece - 500 USD
5 pieces - 2000 USD
10 pieces - 3500 USD
But the seller very much asked him to write on soap. Well, what to do ... I wrote from the beginning in PM: I want to buy 10 pieces, set up a private auction.
There was no response in 2 days ... I duplicate the message on the indicated soap.
Here is the correspondence with the seller:
I [email protected] to whom: [email protected] 06/15/11 01:34 I want to buy from you 5pcs "iPhone 4 32GB white" and 5pcs "iPhone 4 32GB" black.
You can purchase this purchase on eBay?
Have a nice day,
German.
[email protected] to whom: I 06/15/11 08:27 Hi,
All phones are 100% original from Apple, They all have 4.0 firmware. Each phone have 1 (one) year international Apple Care warranty. The phone is valid once you activate the phone.
You can use it in any country. I have both colors: black and white. Why I have low prices.
I can ship anywhere with UPS, DHL or FedEx with Air Express services (24h to 48h delivery) with tracking number. There is no need to write that I can wear shoes or cloths. I ship from UK.
I have in stock more 20 phones. The MINIMUM order is 2 phones.
We can talk about payment.
Thanks!
I [email protected] to whom: [email protected] 06/15/11 17:54 Hi!
I want to buy from you 10pcs iPhone 4 32GB (5xWhite + 5xBlack).
Have a nice day,
German.
[email protected] to whom: 15.06.11 21:29 The final price for 10 x Apple iPhone 4 32GB is 3500 USD shipping and handling taxes included.
We will close the deal through eBay Buyer / Seller Protection Program. We are both protected.
I will explain you how it works:
Ebay Will Contact US (Seller and Buyer) with payment and delivery instructions. You Will Send The Money To Ebay. Once The Payment Is Made and Confirmed, Ebay Will Notify Me to Start The Delivery (IT Will Take 24H to 48h to Receive the Package). Once You Have the Phones In Your Hands, You Have 7 Days to Inspect Them to See If They Are Original, New, Unlocked, Working ... etc. If you Will Have To Notify Them, You Will Have to Notify Ebay That Everything is OK So The Can Send Me The Money. If You Are Not Satisfied with the phones, Send Them Back at My Costs and Ebay Will Cancel Our Transaction and You Will Get your Money Back.
Let me know if you are intested.
ThanksI [email protected] to whom: [email protected] 06/16/11 10:12 I accept the terms. We can start the deal.
Have a nice day,

Do you want to buy and what color?
Thank you!Here I was already alarmed, why would he need my address if the transaction goes through ebey, where my address is already indicated. But neither of which, I send the above requested information and get a letter from the fraudster.
[email protected]: I'm 06/17/11 00:27 I will contact you now and I’m done.
ThanksFor those who are too lazy to read:
The seller assures 100% security of the transaction, specifies the size of the party and my contact information.
The deal will be as follows - he informs the ebay about our deal (for security of payment) and sets up a private bargaining.
They send me a notification from the ebay for which I pay for the auction and happiness to everyone.
Then I was finally delighted - because if everything is through ebay, even if they throw me in, they will refund the money.
And he began in anticipation of making money waiting for an incoming message on ebee.
Suddenly comes to the soap letter, allegedly from ebeya:
Looking at the address of the soap "supposedly with ebeya" doubt that this scam is left.
When requesting an ebee to deal with such an ID - the answer was negative))
We add to this payment through the left payment system "Money Gram" (even the rhyme suggests itself "MoneyGram - return the money to you *) by a direct link from the soap - and we get 100% confirmation of all concerns.
Before us is a crook))
