I don't understand why people do such things

Really?

but be ensured that if you get contacted by any of those people: DO NOT SEND THEM ANY MONEY AT ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You don't send to anybody money under those circumstances.

It would be best if they could be banned from this forum

No objection, but you think it is hard to come up with new fake identities?

Hi, is always sad to hear such things like this.

In order to avoid this to happen again with somebody else could you please share some of the information about the bank account that they asked you to deposit the money into.

I'm asking this because I'm just about to buy a digital copy of the pre-reading material to the DP of Tourism Hospitality from a guy I met here in this forum, but I'm not really sure that he is 100% trustful because he asked me to do the same by paying him into his bank account before e-mailing me the book. I don't really bother to pay for it if it's real, but the truth is that it could be free since e-mails are free of charge.

Can you please post the bank account details that ripped you off???

Also if any of you guys knows the user in question nickname PeckPeck20 ???


Thanks a lot fellas!!!

This kind of scam existed before and there were a lot of warning !
You'd better seek information from someone you've already known before, not a total stranger

Yse I agree, I think what you said sounds quite reasonable.

Thanks by the input.

Op never used words 'bank account'. I'll make a bold guess and say they used Western Union or something similar. Local bank account at least has been opened to person with known identity.
(One of those can be used for fraud too, but a non traceable transfer pretty much guarantees it is a fraud)

Western Union = your money is proof that fools get parted with it

I have just been contacted by Oceane Ginette Maria Renouf. I have not transferred any money but I would like for people to know that who ever this is they are still out there trying to scam money from people. They didn't use Western Union, one bank name they gave me was Sydbank in Denmark and Ziraat Bankasi in Turkey.

Well, that would be something one could report to police, hoping it might have some effect.

yes, in this regard, there was also one guy saying he had a studio apartment close to hallituskatu, in Tampere. The pictures were of a really pretty fully refurbished place, and the rent was ridiculously cheap. The guy was asking to send him on his skrill account two rents plus the current month, and that he would then send the key through DHL(once the money was in his account). I didn't go further than that at the time, because to me it was so obvious that it was a scam, even due to the fact that when I answered the ad in Finnish I got a very suspicious reply(it was in Finnish, but obviously translated with google translate-and the guy was claiming he was a Finn out of the country for work,and I assumed that he'd still remember his mother tongue even if he'd been out of the country for a while).

So, look out for this also, and more in general,don't trust anybody who's offering you a place without showing it to you before asking for money.

[Oombongo]

from where did you find these scammers? I'd love to scam a scammer someday.
