Supra Fanatics : So did you receive the payment from the buyer?
No bro. I totally just ignored and no longer reply. Knowing is a scam. You wouldn't dare to give out your bank acc number. Nowadays technology is too good. Not worth taking the risk.

Supra Fanatics : Using a dormant account is valid enough despite an earlier warning by our bro. here which is understandable. Providing the account name, account number and name of bank is sufficient for an international transaction, as that is what most international trading houses do without any adverse consequences. Do not provide any more details than that though and always keep your head right and not your heart. Fear of police officers implicating with money laundering etc well the volume of transactions will speak for itself, but since if this an 1 of transaction which should be clearly stated in the transfer order for its purpose.

Technology is good but its how it is being used that it questionable. Its the LINK that is extremely dangerous. Thereby do not click on any links provided to you with the person you are dealing with, cause its the 1st step to phishing or stealing your information real time online!

Scam the scammer or bullshit the bullshitter is a game to you must keep your head level at all times. However, scammers are also well trained to abort the deal IMMEDIATELY anytime if they sense you are ahead of them in the game, for fear of being tracked down! I too tried once to scam the scammer, 1st they toy with your feelings and then they use the fear of loss trick to the maximum, hoping you will bite the bait.

This type are scams actually is a business from where they originate albeit illegal internationally, whereby they are well trained and those who are successful in getting people to bite the bait, will be handsomely rewarded with a nice life, in order to inspire others to do the same, especially those who are stuck in the proverty-trap. Noticed their grasp of English has improved too over time.

If I'm not mistaken either you or someone else asked a very logical question. Why your car when they could easily get it in their own country minus the extragavant shipping costs! You or anyone can play the game but never forget its business and not personal. No emotions allowed. I suspect the deal would go down the same road except if the prospective buyer is genuine but the deal will likely stall at shipping.

Finally, these scammers are not only overseas but they could be here right inside Malaysia. Remember the case the Australian police trackked down and together with the Malaysian police managed to nab the foreigner aka mastermind and his gang together with a Malaysian lady who was involved to make it legit! :itsme:

Yup, they are very fluent in English. It will be an easy bait for those who is not aware with what is happening. Is not easy to trick a scammer that is well trained to protect themselves too
