Some Stories of scammers

Postby peg » Wed Oct 03, 2007 4:18 pm

Below are a couple of "Stories" That were received in the FEEDBACK area of the website. I post them here so that others can see what kind of scum that people have to deal with out there.

I have attempted to protect the personal data of those submitting the information, but If I missed something, please PM or E-Mail me at escrow-fraud AT escrow-fraud.com

Please read stories below

Story #1 wrote:I have just found out I am a victim of fraud. I sold an expensive piece of jewelry to someone over in Spain and have not heard a word since I show his receipt this past Friday. I am going to file with the IFC and try and get this guy stopped. I have googled and found others have been scammed by this same jerk. His email is stefan_r64@mac.com or anything extremely close to this (I?ve seen the same email with a different number than 64 and it?s the same guy); he?ll tell you to use http://www.ss-trading.net/ - a totally fake site I have just discovered today; his name is Stefan Rinner. I?m going to take every action I can to get this guy stopped as it?s obvious he?s sitting over there in Spain collecting jewelry from us over here in the states. I read more than one story about this same guy. I wish I had read them sooner.




Story #2 wrote:Hi there,
I have quite a story to tell and am not sure whether I have enough room to type it all here but really want to warn others against a guy in Spain that offered to buy my Diamond Solitaire ring via ebay. His name is Martin Adler and since sending my ring, I've found several negative articles about him on the net. It's a very simple scam and as this was my first venture onto ebay and using escrow services, it all looked plausible to my very basic understanding of the whole process. The escrow service is http://www.ss-trading.net. He supposedly paid the money into the escrow account, I then shipped the ring via fedex 3 day International Priority mail. I've been advised he has received and signed for the ring but surprise surprise, still no money from him! Does anyone have any idea who I can report him to? The worst part is that I consider myself to be an intelligent person but anyone would think otherwise reading my story above...feel free to reply with whatever advice you have. Thanks A.



Story #3 wrote:I received a phone call from a James Wilson (718)878-7509 as an inquiry to purchase a horse from our Ranch. He claimed to be using a private shipping company.It was their policy to require payment from the seller (or shipper). He wanted to send me the money for the shipping and the money for the horse purchase. I am then to pay the shipper for him. I asked him for the shippers information. The website he directed me to was http://unlimitedshipping.net. I emailed them, and they readily repeated the same story, sounding more suspicious. Never before has a shipping company been concerned with the sale price of a horse, nor is it their business. A copy of the email received is as follows:

Hello K,

Thanks for your inquiries.

We got your voice messages and all in regards to your business transaction with Mr. James

As discussed with Mr. James, we take direct funds from the shipper; this clearly shows that both the buyer and shipper are in good agreement to the goods and services.

It was brought to our knowledge that you will be selling an Arabian horse my Mr. James.

Please do give us your full name and address where the horse will be picked up and the selling price you are selling to Mr. James. So we can prepare all documentations and necessary inspections.

Note that we only begin all this process once payments have been received from you.

Regards

Unlimited Shipping.

I tried to do some research, and found this site. Someone had reported the same site http://unlimitedshipping.net, so I thought I'd send in my comment, if it is helpful to you. We can't be too careful, it seems, as they are continuously searching for one of us with our guards down. Are they attempting to launder money? Or send counterfeit here in exchange for the real thing? I appreciate your input.
