Has anyone ever bought anything from Tom Chambers or used Sprint shipping International. I won a auction on Ebay and they want me to wire the money for the item. I've never heared of either one of them and am a little reluctant to wire them $1800.00 sight unseen. any insight would be great. Thanks, RW |

http://www.sprint.bm/sprint_newyork.html Never heard of the guy or Sprint Shipping. Their website looks like a middle schooler put it together, doesn't inspire much confidence. Be VERY cautious about wiring $$$. the vast majority of scammers prefer Western Union or similiar because they can pick up the cash almost anywhere in the world. Makes tracing them impossible. If you are paying for the shipping you should have the right to choose an alternate service. |
Yes. We need all the information, please. I'm a very experienced eBayer (same user name as here) with well over 500 transactions and over 450 positive feedbacks (100% too). Send me the auction number by IM, or post it here if you like, and I'll examine it for you and give you my advice. ETA: HEY! Post number 700! Do I get a cookie? |

whois of the shipping company website: domain-name: sprint-shipping.ro description: MobiFon S.A. description: Piata Charles de Gaulle, nr.15 description: Sector 1 description: Bucharest, Romania description: Phone: +40-21-302 4156 description: Fax: +40-21-302 1475 admin-contact: IOS1-ROTLD technical-contact: IOS1-ROTLD zone-contact: IOS1-ROTLD nameserver: ns8.dr.myx.net nameserver: dnsbck.dr.myx.net info: mount vernon info: libertatii 5 info: info: cod fiscal / cod numeric personal: info: Registered via xnet info: The NIC for Romania is http://www.rotld.ro/ notify: ************@listserv.rnc.ro object-maintained-by: ROTLD-MNT updated: ************@listserv.rnc.ro 20070719 source: ROTLD application-date: 20070719 domain-status: active registration-date: 20070719 expire-date: 20080719 i would not send the money |
Not to mention a domain name aof a supposed shipping company registered a grand total of 5 days ago. I agree... total scam. |
Well.....this is a change. A scammer shipping an item BEFORE it was paid for. ABSOLUTELY DO NOT ACCEPT THAT PACKAGE! If you do it's his word against yours that the correct item was delivered. This guy could be on the up and up OR he could be shipping you a 12" lead pipe. By accepting that shipment the SELLER will have proof of delivery. That's all he needs- PROOf that you received a package. He will of course argue that he sent the expensive scope. EBay will take his side. If he is an honest man, he's also a pretty dim bulb. NO ONE in their right mind ships an $1,800 item BEFORE payment is received. Protect yourself now. Notify EBay immediately that you believe this guy is a scammer. That should help you when the guy reports you as a non paying bidder and neg reps you. DO THIS TODAY! |
That's just it. The site is a total fake. oh, it will look legit. Probably have a box you can put the number in and select "track this shipment" and it will say it's been shipped to such and such address and has passed such and such points. BUT... it's all fake. It's a site set up by the scammer. It's actually kind of amateur. If he was real good he would have sent a hyperlink that looks like http://fedex.com but would actually be http://fedexx.com or even unrelated. Have the same look and feel as the real fedex site, but be completely fake. It's a typical ploy used in phishing scams to get passwords and other info. Click the fedex link below: .http://www.fedex.com If someone isn't paying attention... |
