ASV Craigslist Scam

Post by klv329 » Sat Nov 18, 2017 2:29 pm

This one is an ASV Craigslist scam.

The seller won't use PayPal and wants to bill through squareup.com and doesnt send the product or respond after payment is made.

The seller can send pics of the ASV via Craigslist email, knows how to access the clinicians menu, and the squareup.com invoice says ridesharekings.com.....be careful!

Also, anybody who specifies payment with the green dot card--probably a scam.

Yesterday, a thing called claiming to be the IRS, saying they were filing suit of me for fraud, claiming they had tried to contact me with no reply. (Funny they had my phone number.) had a 1=900 number. I hung up!!! Jim

I use Craigslist a lot but it isn't designed for anything but in face person to person transactions. Got my machines on Craigslist.
Seeing and believing are often both wrong. FOW

It took about two and half months, but after disputing the transaction as fraudulent the money was recouped.

Had to submit the invoices and payment confirmations and emails to VISA via fax.

Picked up a brand new 2017, zero hour ASV from a reliable source using PayPal.

I have bought and sold many items out of state on Craigslist. Always using PayPal. No problems...very safe.

Wonder if that seller is the same one that tried to scam me out of a machine only I used PayPal and I did get my money back from PayPal and maybe the reason he doesn't want to use it is because they already are on to him and he is on their bad list.
It was a Dallas area CG listing I responded to. Been a few years but the guy was a thief and a liar.

I had a bad one too. Bought something from Indianapolis and the seller never shipped. Only took about 30 days and PP refunded my money.

Scams are everywhere, ever bought off of ebay? The best I've heard of is you buy a picture, of the product you think you are getting.
you also pay on a paypal invoice, so you get buyer protection. I've just realise they could photoshop a paypal invoice with their paypal-me number, so double check that. You don't use paypal-me direct to the seller, or whatever it is called. There is no redress on a faulty product, unless it's an obvious scam like faking a paypal invoice.

If you pay money into their paypal-me it is just a payment. it isn't to buy a product. Check on the paypal site. I think you will find this is the case. It is only on a paypal invoice where the seller also pays a % of the sale to paypal, that there is the safegurds in place for both parties and paypal can reverse the sale. .

as an aside, If I buy new on ebay from au on paypal, I actually have more safeguards in place. The aussie retail act applies and it does have some teeth.

He's back at it again, pretty sure. A CL post in Orlando, and he wants to ship from Dallas, TX in the email response. Brand new ASV $300. Gotta be careful.
