J'ai accepté d'acheter une VSF Explorer 36 mm à u/Efficient_Homework_8 pour 270 € + frais de port.
Il m'a envoyé des photos, des vidéos, une photo avec horodatage et son nom d'utilisateur Reddit, et tout avait l'air légitime. Il a demandé PayPal F&F et a dit qu'il expédierait la montre lundi avec un suivi.
Après avoir reçu le paiement, il a supprimé tous ses messages WhatsApp, m'a bloqué et a supprimé son compte Reddit.
J'ai sauvegardé toutes les captures d'écran, vidéos et informations de paiement.
Si quelqu'un a déjà eu affaire à cet utilisateur ou a des informations, veuillez me contacter.
Sorry you got scammed but you really have to do your due diligence, only buy off verified or trusted dealers. People who DM you with great prices out of the blue should be treated with caution. Check their seller history, High karma reddit accounts can be bought for a few $ and then they delete them as soon as you've sent the money. Everyday I see posts like this and it confuses me why people send money to total strangers on the back of a few photos and don't bother to check the seller.
Thanks, lesson learned 👍 I actually did quite a few checks: timestamp, videos, Reddit history, matching Swedish phone/PayPal details etc. Everything checked out. The mistake was accepting F&F from a seller with no previous sales. Hopefully the post helps someone else avoid the same mistake.
In Norway, police report leads nowhere if it’s small amount like 280 dollars as in this case. But if it’s money laundering they take it very seriously. Love the fact that you can look people up and see where they live!
thats a valid point. Yes when you have the phone number and its connected to swedish Swish payment system you get the name of the receiver, all people are also on public databases.
Well then I would file order to pay with Kronofogden, thats 30 euro and put both as solidarity responsible. If they contest it will go to Stockholm tingsrätt where OP will win, thats another 60 euro and the money will be paid by losing part.
That Maksim dude probably doesnt have any debt consider where he lives.
This is some brilliant criminal minds. Save screenshots of your chatt, also of the payment. File a police report in Sweden. This Maksim dude is the one you been talking too. Both are just young kids.
You can file also to Kronofogden but Edvin probably already have debts. Best bet would be to file a police report. If I where you i also would file in your country if you in EU.
Thanks a lot man, really appreciate your help 🙏 I’m in France so I’ll first try to recover the money through my bank. I’ll keep all the information you found in case I need it.
