money exchange scam
 

This is just an updated to my previous thread.

The money exchange scam works like follows:

1. the scammer sees your thread about the exchange on gfy.
2. the scammer will contact you in name of someone well known in the industry
3. the scammer will ask you to send money to Roby's paxum (Roby is known for exchange service)
4. Afterwards, Roby will be also contacted by the scammer to exchange some money.
5. Roby will exchange, because he thinks it is a regular exchange transaction
6. The scammer will point to YOUR previous paxum payment to Roby, and Roby will exchange (send) money to scammer's webmoney account (for example)
7. Thats it.


in this case, the money has been sent to the following scammer
webmoney account: Z379251506575
scammer's icq 691485420

Why the fuck, does people react to random people sending them money and then just auto send those money somewhere else? Are you NUTS!?! How do you handle that accounting wise? How do you know that you aren't participating in money laundering?

in addition, i have asked Roby, to implement some security feature on his end, to verify the transaction once again with sending some additional email, he promised he will start working on it today.
The only verification on his end today is to wait 5 hours then he send out the money.

money laundering? we are talking here about tens of dollars. Sometimes you need to exchange small amount to pay out some services like php coding, logo design etc.

Well,when i was active exchanger,i had many methods to detect is someone scammer or not.For example,i was asking first to send me 1$ and send a screenshot of statement of account.That way once i saw how money was sent from jscott account as i saw in statements thing like "affiliate payment xxx jscott" so i tried to reach jscott on icq before commencing anything,but unfortunately for jscott he was at plane at the time.So scammer found other exchanger and once jscott found about compromised account,he managed to make a reverse,so that other exchanger smoked money.

In shortly,to detect scam,just look for weird/out-of-order things,
like
-bad english
-calling you sir
-acting "too friendly"
-no history on google/gfy/etc,and google every possible avalaible information,like icq id,user id,paxum id,whatever you can search further

In most cases,if something does not look good,then it's a reason why it does not look good.

Can I send Roby 1 million ruby's for exchange for 1 million other somethings? Just wondering?

tell him not to post the info he will use ....Eric reads these posts daily

:thumbsup:thumbsup

that's filipino

and scamer paymend id or what ever else is?

or indian.

haha yes :)

Or Pakistani, but really filipino have this "Sir" hardcoded in the brain.

Bump .....

I concur:thumbsup

Always a weasel in the woodpile

With people like that I always think "if only they used their skill to do something good..."

That's so Racist... :disgust

It is a fact that filipino say "Sir". There are whole threads and pages about it:

http://www.pinoystaronline.com/pleas...t-call-me-sir/

"Filipinos have it in their nature to address anybody other than their compatriots as Sir and Ma?am."

You (and others) may think that saying it makes me "racist"; I accept that it is a fact I am "racist" according to certain standards. Like if I say: "if it meows, it is a cat". "if it quacks, it is a duck". "If it say Sir, it is a filipino". These are 3 facts useful to identify entities from their sounds, I do not see any negative note. I even like who calls me Sir, it is better than "hey asshole". But simply, their "Sir" it uncovers they are filipino, which it is useful information, me and the other poster wanted to share. Why? Just to help others catch scammers, so if you have a guy who claims he's in USA but say you "Sir", you are warned. Perhaps me and the other poster could keep this "Sir" info secret, instead of share, so to avoid being "racist"?

By the way to exchange between paxum, payoneer etc. (your accounts) you can use netex.me:
