Sorry, I just to rant somewhere -

I recently saw this ad, in cebu classifieds .com

(copy and remove spaces)


I thought it was a great deal, so i contacted the person, and made negotiations to have it shipped, the guys sent me bank details of his and his wifes BDO cashcard account, but i wasnt able to reach the bank in time, so i sent the money over cebuana kwarta padala, he texted me a tracking number before i sent the money, after a few days i went to LBC but the tracking number was invalid..

Then i tried to contact him, only for him to give me another number to call, it was the actual owner's number daw, coz he pulled out the unit because they were not able to agree on the commission, I was starting to get concerned so i offered to cover the guys commission, and sent the owner the additional amount, so he gave me another tracking number, but again when i checked with LBC, invalid!!! i called the owner, and he said na return daw, and he didnt have money to resend it, now he is asking for additional money for reshipping.. I asked where the money i sent was, but he said he already bought another unit.. but i refused to send another peso..

This is starting to sound like a real elaborate scam..

Here are the details i have gathered through our transactions..

It sure look like a scam. dont send money with kwarta padala, its untraceable.
it looks like a scam. its easy to open an account if you are working in the bank.
so maybe its an insider scam from bdo.
cut your losses. and dont buy online unless you have good referals.

The page has been taken down pero there's a Google cache... I guess they've already achieved their goal?

If I had that kind of money, I would not gamble for something like that.... Pero that's just me.

I hope you get your money back.
