Hello everyone.
I'm Andrew Bubniuk from Ukraine.
That was the first time when I wanted to buy parachute equipment on dropzone.com and I was cheated by scammer at once. :(
That was partly my fault as I had to check out more information about the seller. I just want to describe situation that appeared.
Scammer: Leonila Siman. She (or maybe he in real life) wrote that she is from Chandler, USA
23th or 24th September she added advertisement about Safire 2 -149 in mint condition (05/2013, 90 jumps) with low price (1200$). And I was looking for exactly that canopy. Certainly l contacted with "seller" and asked her to send me more photos of Safire and soon she have sent me another pics also with label. I decided that if she sent them so quick it was okay - she was an owner.
I informed her that I was ready to buy parachute and we made a deal. She sent me account id in PayPal - skymatteo40@gmail.com.
I'm not sure that it is her own account, it could be hacked.
When I transferred money only after three days she sent me tracking number AZ6368220878MA and the link on shipping company website - www.skycargoaz.ga (Gaboon!!!). There are no contacts and information about company is too poor. I didn't find information about this on Internet at all. On this website it's possible to track shipment but I think this was done for delaying so the time of PayPal deal will be off. When I checked the IP of this site I found that it was registered in Netherlands for Gaboon LTD...
I was trying to contact with "seller" but there was no response...
Here are photos of that Safire. Maybe someone will recognize his own parachute...
Hope I can find her with your help.
That's all. Be careful...
