Credit card scam

Yahoo Finance has an interesting article about some recent credit card scams.


"The scam involves a person being called by someone claiming to be from their bank. They are told that their debit or credit card needs collecting as it needs replacing following fraud on their account.
The caller often suggests that the person hangs up and calls the bank back if they want to ensure the call is genuine, but stays on the line, tricking the person into thinking they’re calling their bank. The criminal will then ask the person to key in their PIN number, before sending a courier to collect the card. The victim is told the card is going to the bank to be changed but it is actually delivered to the fraudster to use along with the PIN obtained during the scam"


the above scam has some assumptions.
1. You get the initial call on your landline number. Since I suppose people can spot when their mobile is on a call.
2. The victim uses the same landline to call the bank. Not their mobile number.
3. I would imagine that victims of such scam are older in age that do not use mobile phones, or that would be less likely to spot that their landline call did not hang up.
4. Those people are less likely to read about this scam online.

Bottom line. DO NOT GIVE or TYPE YOUR PIN OVER THE PHONE TO NOBODY. Never hand your Credit Card over to anyone who comes to collect it.

Τοκογλυφικές απάτες με πιστωτικές κάρτες στην Ελλάδα


Ακούω αυτή τη στιγμή στο MEGA για το τοκογλυφικό κύκλωμα με τις πιστωτικές κάρτες. Οι απορίες μου είναι οι εξής:
Όταν σου κλέβουν την κάρτα, παίρνεις τηλ για να την ακυρώσεις άμεσα. Και πας και τις δίνεις σε ανθρώπους που δεν γνωρίζεις με την εικόνα ότι θα πάρεις μετρητά στο χέρι; Και τι στο διάβολο, αφού μπορείς να ψωνίσεις με τις πιστωτικές σου, δεν μπορείς να τις χρησιμοποιήσεις εκεί όπου χρειάζεσαι τα μετρητά; Δηλαδή αντί να πάρεις το 100% της αξίας των χρημάτων σου στο προϊόν που έχεις ανάγκη, παίρνεις το 50% των χρημάτων σου στο προϊόν που θες και πρέπει να αποπληρώσεις και το άλλο 50% (τουλάχιστον) που θα αποπληρώσεις στην τράπεζα της πιστωτικής σου... (fubar) ?!

Το επόμενο ερώτημα έχει να κάνει με τους τοκογλύφους. Αυτοί λέει αγοράζουν προιόντα με τις πιστωτικές των θυμάτων τους. Τι τα κάνουν λοιπόν αυτά τα προϊόντα; Το λογικό είναι ότι τα μεταπωλούν. Που τα μεταπωλούν; Μήπως τα μεταπωλούν online; Και ποιά καταστήματα θα μπορούσαν να είναι αυτά τα οποία πωλούν αυτά τα καταστήματα;

Στο ίδο ρεπορτάζ του MEGA ακούστηκε ένας τύπος που παράγγηλε κάτι από αυτούς και αυτοί του έστειλαν προϊόντα μαϊμού. (Δεν είμαι σίγουρος πως το εννοούσε). Οπότε που στο διάβολο καταλήγουν αυτά τα προϊόντα;

scamworld

I found on boingboing an interesting article about internet marketing scams. The boingboing article is a summary of a longer more detailed article on the verge. So here it is: scamworld.



As we’ve seen, the basic premise of Internet Marketing is straightforward: find customers, sell them useless products, and then send the leads on to industrial strength “boiler rooms” that separate them from what little money they have left. A simple con, it still requires a massive infrastructure to maintain: mainstream media outlets like CNN and the major broadcast networks, and websites like The Huffington Post and Facebook, all play a part in getting the message of Internet Marketers out to a wider audience, either through paid advertising or programming. Google sells AdWords for phrases like “make money fast,” and when unsuspecting consumers use their credit cards to give boiler rooms money, the payment has to be processed through a merchant account.

We are the security agent assigned for the payment of the amount (€2,000.00 EUR) to your PayPal account, because you have to make the transfer of the money first to confirm the remittance of your money into your PayPal account,and without you making the Transfer of the money, PayPal will not credit your money into your account and you will be charged for fraud after the 48hours of which you had received this message and we also serve as agent to you because once we receive the transfer information from you, your account must be accredited within the next minute.

New scammer on Greek advertisement sites.

It has been some time since this blog actually published any new Scammer's details. But recently, after posting an online ad, someone contacted me wanting to buy my item.


His/Her current scammer email name is
Walter Gregory.
waltergregory@live.com
This one sends SMS using skype with the username Golden35, which can potentially change.
He is using the supposedly Transport Company: "Asped Express", which I do not know if it is real or not, but in order to be used from a scammer most probably it is not.

This person is also using the following telephone numbers:
+447031985044 or +447031974155 or +447031985044

He or she, is also using the common FAKE PAYPAL email payments, but this one "deposits" more money than asked for the item and then requesting to send via Western Union the overpayment to a given address.

The fake paypal emails come from:

p.aypalservice@accountant.com

and his/her address asking for the money is:




Name: Peggy Farrell
ADDRESS : 101 Chesterfield Road
City : London
POSTAL CODE : W1J 5JL
COUNTRY : United Kingdom.
I post this address rather reluctantly cause I am not sure if this is indeed the scammer's details. If this one has any kind of connections-ties with the particular Western Union branch, or has some other arrangements, he or she could provide a fake name and address and be able to change it at will.

Alternatively this person "Peggy Farrell" might be a mule. Which means that acts as a middle man between me and the real scammer who might be outside Europe. Usually in Nigeria. The reason I say that is because by chatting with various scammers over the years, one of them (I am not sure, but I may have posted it in the past) offered me this exact job. To receive money from people he scammed and then send that money to him.

Απατεώνας στο car.gr

Ο απατεώνας στην συγγεκριμένη περίπτωση, επικοινώνησε μαζί μου μέσω του car.gr και ζητούσε να του πουλήσω το αντικείμενο και να πληρώσει με paypal. Η πληρωμή που έκανε ήταν σαφώς ψέυτικη και κανα δυο χιλιάδες ευρώ πάνω από όσα ζητούσα τα οποία μου ζήτησε να του τα στείλω πίσω μέσω Western Union και μετά θα παραλάμβανα τα χρήματα στο λογαριασμό μου. Κλασσική απάτη, αν και δεν θυμάμαι να την είχα συναντήσει τις προηγούμενες φορές.
