Uncovering a Sophisticated Scam Which was Victimizing Online Sellers and Buyers and How to Stop it
Sophisticated Online Crime Exposed and Explained
I've been an eBay seller since 1999, maintaining exceptional customer ratings. Recently, I fell victim to an online scam not once but three times. Determined to uncover its workings, I spent months investigating and finally uncovered the mechanics behind this scheme. I've created a comprehensive YouTube video detailing how this scam operates, potentially saving thousands of sellers who might have suffered losses.
In brief, here's how the scam works:
1. The scammer identifies a popular product on platforms like eBay, Amazon, or Walmart.
2. They create a duplicate listing of the item on eBay, Amazon, or their own website.
3. When a buyer purchases from the scammer, they buy the same item from a legitimate seller on eBay or Amazon who offers free returns, using a newly created fake account.
4. The scammer inputs their buyer's address as the shipping address.
5. The legitimate seller ships the item to the scammer's customer.
6. The unsuspecting buyer leaves positive feedback for the scammer on eBay or Amazon.
7. After securing positive feedback, the scammer initiates a free return claim with the legitimate seller, obtains a prepaid return label, and sends back an empty envelope.
8. eBay or Amazon verifies the return delivery via the tracking number and issues a full refund to the scammer.
9. The legitimate seller, upon receiving an empty envelope, reports the scam to eBay or Amazon, but by then, the scammer has often already disappeared with the funds, leaving the legitimate seller at a loss, including the cost of the return label.
