Scam? Update 1
Well I thought I'd update you all on how the scam is going. I've stopped replying to the scammer now. I did however try pretty hard to get him to send me a TV.
This is what I wrote:
"Hello,
I do not want to pay using your Online Deliveries - DHL. However, I am happy to use a more well known escrow service. Something like www.escrow.com would be fine.
Thanks,
Cory"
He then wrote back:
"I am very sorry miss, but actalully we can not change our company policy just because you want to use another sevice.
Have you wonder why can we afford to offer free shipping to NZ? that is because we are working for a while with this delivery company and never get any complain from our customers.
Just peoples like you that make us waste the time. Is not a problem we will cancel your order.
Then me again:
"Hello,
I am happy to pay for the use of the escrow service and pay for the shipping so this will not cut in to your profit. How does that suit?
thanks,"
Then him again:
"your tracking is :
it is verry simple, you have to send the money to the shipping company via western union and then you will have to send the payment information . afther you will receive the package and you are pleased with it, the company will transfer the money to our account, i think that they had chosen the western union money transfer because it is faster.
you must send the detaild about payment here:
after you will receive the item in max 2 days
thanks!"Then me:
"Are the goods in your New Zealand office? I am able to pick them up.
thanks"
Then him:
"the tv is in UK london ,
after payment, you will receive the item in your home
TYPE OF SERVICE :Door Arrival
or not a problem we will cancel your order
thanks!"Then me:
"ok. I'll send someone around to pick it up. Is Monday good?"
Then him:
"hi, It is not a problem, but i dont understand you have made a order we have shipped the package and i suppose that the TV will be at your home in the next 24 hours... i dont get what you are saying you may send someone to get a TV but not the one that we have already shipped 4 you.
Monday we are open from 8 -20 for sales.
But your order as i can see in my register should be done it till 19. If you have confirmed already the payment probabily the TV is in your town now.
He really plays along quite well even thou his business registration number is wrong. it registered to another company name.
Now that I've posted his site on here he seems to be indexed by Google now. SCAM I hope no one thinks it a real business. Post some comments if you got any ideas on what I can do.
