Hi MidoMartin,

I got the same mail (just with another name) and it is too good to be real. I do not get what this fraude is about. But I think sending a payment request directly from my paypal account would not be bad. When there is a payment, I understand that it can not be undone.

I WILL NOT SEND MY NAME AND ADRESS via mail. something is wrong, but what?

Any Idea?

Ao anunciar no Mercado Livre no Brasil, recebi uma mensagem imadiatamente do ****** que se interessou em comprar meu produto e pediu que entrasse em contato através do e-mail dele. A negociação quase foi concluída, quando percebi que se tratava de uma fraud. Só não entendi ainda como o golpe seria aplicado. Caso vocês saibam, por favor deixmem os comentário. Grato.

Yeah, believe or not!! Take a look at email that I receive after the negociation: IMPORTANT: The next step is to send the payment using Money Gram/Western Union to Boyd Freight Services Ltd. Why we need this payment? We require the payment because we must have the confirmation that you are a real seller. we work with Money Gram/western union service to authenticate the identity of the sender of funds; Boyd International Freight Services Ltd. needs to process all necessary documents needed for the pickup and delivery. Boyd International Freight Services Ltd. will have to pay all necessary charges before pickup. After the merchandise is received, if the seller has a reason not to sell the merchandise we'll refund the shipment in maximum 48 hours; After you complete the transfer of funds we request the following details: The scanned receipt from the Money Gram/western union. Amount sent. Sender Name and Address.

Hi there,

 

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Any time you receive an email about activity on your PayPal account, the safest way to confirm the emails’ validity is to log in to your PayPal account via the PayPal website (not using the links in the email received). Any of the activity reported in the email will be available to view. When you receive a payment, you’ll see the money in your account right away. Even if it was placed in your pending balance, you’ll see this. If you still have those emails, please forwarded to review@paypal.com.

Same problems in Estonia. Currently people try FRAUD from non existing Shipping Company(You cant find real web domain name, company registration code, contact info etc). Be careful and check all data twice!

Sample:

Hello **beep**, I'm Julie from Boyd International Freight Representative. Why is it taking you long to complete the transaction? Your Baby Stroller buyer (Angelique **beep**) said you might be busy, Please can you get back to us with the Western Union receipt immediately. You have to send the Shipping fee through western union or money gram to our agent information given to you and get back to us with the receipt because all documents that are needed for the pickup and delivery has been processed. We are also waiting for the Scan money transfer receipt so we can proceed with the pickup.
