THIS IS A SCAM ALERT TO ALL MTBR.COM CLASSIFIEDS USERS!!
There is a new scam going out now via email, when you are responding to a scam ad. The email uses Western Union to process the payment, and it claims that the
"transaction is performed under MtbREVIEW.com Protection Programs." THIS IS FALSE! There is NO SUCH THING as an MtbREVIEW.com Protection Program!
As stated in our online Classifieds FAQ:
http://forums.mtbr.com/faq.php?faq=vb_faq
- "Does MtbREVIEW or ConsumerREVIEW take responsibility for fraudulent buyers or sellers?"
- MtbREVIEW and parent company ConsumerREVIEW take no responsibility for fraudulent buyers or sellers. All transactions are entered into at your own risk. All ads are subject to approval by MTBR.com
Do NOT respond to the email. We are not sending it. The "From" email address is being forged, to look like the email is coming from us, but it is not. If you check the internet headers of the email
you will see where the email is actually originating from.
Here is a screenshot of what the email looks like(the name of the interested buyer has been changed):
Thanks for your attention to this, and if you know someone who uses our Classifieds, please be sure that you let them know.
