To our Mtbr and RoadbikeREVIEW Classifieds Community,
Yet another scam going around. This scam involves sellers (you) being contacted by a buyer (scammer) and asked to make a deal. The scammer asks that they will only use an escow service in order to be secure in the transaction. People sign up online for the escrow service and with in a day they are contacted and assured that the other party has also been verified. The escow service is "www.securebuyonline.com" (or one very similar) IT'S FAKE!
People send their product or money to the escorw service and that's all she wrote.
Scammers also place ads, too, using the same method, with the buyer/seller roles reversed.
Be alert and do NOT to take part in this. Always be as careful and as sure about online deals as you can. Find out as much info about the potential buyers that you can. Like the old saying goes, "If it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is."
Please be cautious, and feel free to warn other in our Good Trader/Bad Trader Forum should you happen to find any more of these scams.
