Hi all,
Saw an add on Vivastreet re very popular flipper or pinball machine Addams Family:
http://jeux-jouets.vivastreet.com/figurines+pessac-33600/flipper-pinball-addams-family/72635595?login_email=armand.boileau%40voila.fr&utm_source=anonymous_email&utm_medium=email&utm_term=ad_view&utm_campaign=vivamail&utm_content=voila.fr
Everything looks genuine, pics, etc.
Same experience as others here: sent an email, was contacted back by someone from Dublin Ireland:
"Bonjour,
Premierement, j'habite en Dublin Ireland. Le raison pour lequel j'ai poste l'annonce dans cet site Web est pour augmenter les chances de vendre et pour trouver plusieurs consommateurs partout dans le monde, non seulement dans ma région.
Localement ne serait pas efficace.Si vous êtes toujours intéressé d'acheter, Je peut établi une livraison à votre location, bien sûr sans frais.
Je vous remercie."
Changed my emails to english, always had quick and decent replies.
Contact proposed to work with "shiping company" www.blexp.com .
Also gave me his (fake) "contact details":
Tyler Stothard
25 Dolphin Rd
Crumlin, Dublin 12, Ireland
00447404416169
Started to check out the website...looks nice, but for example no telephone number is mentioned, no address/location, etc... Looked for people with experiences with this company and could not find one. Finally, googled the "founder's name": Mark Lavadjian ... BINGO... only fraud reports linked to this name. Luckily, "they" keep using this same name in their fake sites...
Transaction is still ongoing, and they will come back to me tomorrow... will play along a bit further and see what it leads to.
Unbelievable that police etc. cannot or won't do anything against these criminals...
So: watch out for any of the names/company/addresses/ads/numbers mentioned above or your money is gone...
Keep safe,
Luke
