Scams on EBAY ddr2 laptop memory modules

Buyers must always be cautious when buying stuff on EBAY, but today I found a new kind of scam.

They are selling ddr2 laptop memory modules tested and working but of unknown capacity. So my guess is that they put them on a laptop, run memtest in order to find out if they are ok but did not know how to check the capacity...
God damn!

Scam In freecycle!

Απάτη στο freecycle

New type of scam from our Nigerian friends.
I do not have all details yet, but
the scam goes as follows:
They post a valuable item to give away on freecyle, for example an Iphone 4 or 4S so you contact them cause its an excellent bait. (I mean who in their right mind would give away an working ipad instead of selling it, no matter how old it is)
They tell you that the person who has it was send away as a missionary in Africa (usually Lagos Nigeria) and they ask you to provide your details, (eg Address) to send you the item.

As the communication with the scammer is ongoing, I will post details as I receive them.

ΑΠΑΤΕΣ ΣΤΟ aggeliopolis.gr

Προσοχή,
Στο http://aggeliopolis.gr/ καθώς και σε άλλες ελληνικές σελίδες με αγγελίες κυκλοφορούν απατεώνες που θέλουν να αγοράσουν πράγματα για να στείλουν στη Νιγηρία. ΕΙΝΑΙ ΑΠΑΤΕΩΝΕΣ. Αγνοείστε οτιδήποτε σχετικό με τη Νιγηρία. Ανεξάρτητα από τι σόι δικαιολογίες θα σας πουν, (ωκαιανογράφοι, ιεραπόστολοι, επιχειρηματίες σε ταξίδια) Μην μοιραστείτε τα στοιχεία σας μαζί τους και μην πέφτετε θύματα.
Οι απατεώνες επικοινωνούν μαζί σας στα αγγλικά και θέλουν να τους πείτε πόσο πουλάτε το αντικείμενο. Όταν τους πείτε την τιμή, θα σας πούνε να σας πληρώσουνε συνήθως με Paypal αλλά το email πληρωμής είναι ψεύτικο. Το θύμα όμως μπορεί να πεισθεί αφού δέχεται πιέσεις και απειλές ότι θα στείλουν το FBI ή την αστυνομία αν δεν αποστείλει το αντικείμενο. Ο απατεώνας όμως έχει και άλλον άσσο στο μανίκι. Με το ψεύτικο email στέλνει και καλά παραπάνω λεφτά από όσα ζητήσατε και ζητάει να του στείλετε το επιπλέον ποσό με western union.

Εναλλακτικά μπορεί να ζητήσει να πληρώσει με επιταγή. Η επιταγή κατατίθεται, το θύμα βλέπει το ποσό στον λογαριασμό του και ταχυδρομεί το προϊόν. Όμως η επιταγή είναι ακάλυπτη και όπως λένε στα αγγλικά παίρνει μερικές μέρες "to clear the payment" και όταν γίνει αυτό, τα χρήματα εξαφανίζονται από το λογαριασμό του θύματος. Το κόλπο με τα παραπάνω χρήματα ισχύει και εδώ.

Κανονικά επειδή αυτή η απάτη είναι τόσο διαδεδομένη τα ΕΛΤΑ αλλά και όλες οι άλλες ταχυδρομικές εταιρίες και εταιρίες κούριερ θα έπρεπε να έχουν εκπαιδεύσει τους υπαλλήλους να ενημερώνουν τυχών πελάτες που αποστέλουν αντικείμενα στη Νιγηρία για το ενδεχόμενο απάτης.

fake gold bars filled with tungsten! SCAM ALERT

NY1 Exclusive: Diamond District Businessman Tricked Into Paying $100K For Fake Gold Bars. So if you are in the market for gold beware! Fake gold bars are out there.

The shell peels off like foil on a chocolate bar.
Gold and tungsten have almost the exact same density, so a substitution of metals would be difficult to detect. Fadl bought four of the bars, exchanging them for smaller gold bars, because the customer would not take cash.
Fadl said a colleague tipped him off about the scam, prompting him to drill holes in the bars and test the contents.
"Buyers should be aware they should not buy gold bars from any private individual whom they don't know," said Nessim. 

proceed with extreme caution

quite possibly scam eshops
looking to buy a sports watch I found the following websites. All of them are essentially the same website with different prices. I did not dig into them due to time constraints but they do not seem legit.
