I sold my PS4 on eBay classifieds and someone from England got in touch with me. In short: He sent the money from his bank today (October 12th), but I have to send the tracking number to his bank for confirmation and only then will the money be credited to my account. But I only get a tracking number when I send the package or not? Says I send the package out, send the tracking number to his bank and they suddenly tell me there was never such a transaction. Then my package is already on the way to him.
He sent me a transaction confirmation with transaction ID and everything from his bank where it says how I should proceed, but let's be honest in this day and age you can easily fake something like that.
Ancient scam.
Laugh, delete and rather sell on the real eBay.
eBay classifieds is for personal collection.
Yes that sounds like a rip off
Just don't do that! That's cheating!
nobody from england buys ne ps4 in germany via ebay classifieds. That doesn't make sense because of the 2 currencies.
do not send the playstation!
Very typical procedure to lull yourself to safety. There's no bank that holds money back until someone confirms the shipment of an item.
It's good that you asked BEFORE…
Unfortunately, some only ask afterwards when there's no money.
Typical attempted fraud.
The mail is fake and the bank specified does not know anything about it.
