Administrator 53 #1 Posted August 8, 2019 The following scam has been reported: Quote On 8-Nov-2019 someone submitted their contact information in response to your ad in the Dropzone.com Classifieds. Please reply to this email to contact the person directly. Username => david99 Name => David Comments => Hello, I will like to know if your advert posted still available for sale ?Email me your Last price What is the condition right now?Are you the first owner and why are you selling it out? We have disabled this account. Remember: DO NOT do business with anyone who offers to send you payment for a higher amount than your selling price with the understanding that you'll send back the balance. Be suspicious of anyone claiming to be acting on behalf of a "client" or another "customer". Be suspicious of anyone claiming to be from Nigeria or West Africa If you agree to accept a check payment, then do not send anything, gear or "change" before the check cleared. And be careful, if you manage to clear a fraudulent check then you may be liable for the damages if the bank finds out later. Make sure your bank authenticates the check. If it sounds to good to be true, then it probably is. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
