The Fraud squad have explained to us how these scams normally work:
The supposed buyer arranges a cheque to pay you for items plus shipping. This is likely to be a stolen cheque from a large company.
The cheque clears, you then release the goods to their supposed shippers.
Several days/weeks or possibly months later.... the company report money being drawn from their bank account, cheques discovered as stolen.
The company's bank then recalls the money from your bank account.
You are left with no money, no pictures and
NO knowledge of where they have been taken
to by these supposed shippers.
IT’S A REAL SCAM.......Don’t get caught - Make sure you report to Action Fraud.
Please share this scam alert on Facebook and Twitter to save others getting conned!
