[SgFreecycle] WARNING: Scam alert

 

hi all
i recd the offer by this lady - Christel Morgan dated on 12 July 4am in the morning after her posting on 5 July , appologizing for late reply and mentioned that she has relocate to Georgetown Penang,

with the LG 32 inc tv and PS3 game console still available and able to offer me, i followed up with emails with her, It is of course reasonable for me to pay for the courier company to transport both items from Penang Malaysia to Singapore (S$100 for express and $80 for normal 3 days delivery ). So agree to let Christel carry on to arrange for courier services.

here comes the game, i received a mail fr the courier

what ? parcel cannot track and payment to
 RECEIVER'S NAMES ========== Abongwa Muma Edwin,COUNTRY================= CAMEROON ???

sound interesting ? i did not realize at first and was about to head for payment but found the designated remittance house too far away so i delay, and feeling not really good about the whole thing, why shd i pay for the transport even before i see the arrival of the goods, and if this is a registered company in malaysia, i should be able to contact them directly to further my questions, but all i have is to keep receiving mails from Gulf Shipping to chase for payment and no news from Christel Morgan anymore, and noticing no contact number on any parties's email.

so i suspect this is a scam, and hope our fellow recycle members will be  beware of this too good to be true offer, even S$80 also want to cheat, times really bad for conman !
