SCAM sa EBAY-PH

[fredzkii]

Mga co-tsikoteers, gusto ko lang e-expose itong isang scam na nangyari sa akin... napakasakit sa bulsa at damdamin... baka me maitutulong kayo...

Last week, naghahanap kasi ako ng maayos na 2nd hand na PDA phone. I saw his ad on ebay ph (http://www.ebay.ph/viItem?ItemId=280129600441) under na seller’s name “bksyiaco” selling 2nd hand o2 xda atom. Based on what I read, he had positive feedbacks, so I was quite convinced that this is not bogus. I contacted him thru mobile phone (jul 6, 2007) which is posted on the same site.
His details:
Cel No: 09278344014//Bon Kimber Syiaco//232 Benigno Aquino Ave, Manduarriao, Ilo-ilo city.
I tried to asked for a discount at the price of PhP 13000 with the original price of PhP17000. We both agreed that I would pay 13300. I paid him 13300 pesos (jul 6, 2007) thru globe gcash on the same day. He asked for another 500, I paid him the next day (jul 7, 2007). After that, he was nowhere to be found. I phoned him but the person on the other line told me that its not his number, and that the phone is redirected to him.

Mga pre, baka may makakatulong sa kin dyan... Thanks!

dapat talaga pag 5k pataas na items meet-ups na..mahirap yan pag shipping pa.

Medyo nag-research ako tungkol sa taong ito... di pala sya taga Ilo-ilo province, dito lang pala sya sa manila. Taga La Salle tong taong to, di ko lang alam kung graduate na sya.

baka hindi rin yan ang totoo niyang pangalan?
ingat na lang po next time.

[fredzkii]

Thanks... I paid for the item in good faith; fault is, nagtiwala ako kaagad dun sa tao... The name is real, kaya lang, I dont know kung sya talaga yun...

OT Lang, it's a violation of eBay rules to contact seller and haggle off-line... Kaya nga auction eh... That's why eBay doesn't allow that because of these kinds of transactions.

[fredzkii]

Yeah, ur right, its not advisable (as per ebay) to haggle offline, I was just tempted, since the contact no (mobile number) was also posted on the site. Haay, 'have to learn the hard and expensive way.
