Online-Consignors-Sales Scam Various States and Cities, Internet |
16th of Nov, 2010 by User308948 |
This company is running a scam using Craigs list. The letter the seller sends is about why she/he is selling the item dirt cheap, is to pay for a daughters wedding. Send money to this company and they will hold it until you get the item. Well the company doesn't even have an "office" or store listed on their website in the state of the sale. If it sounds too good to be true it is people. Do not give any information or God forbid any money to Online-Consignors-Sales they don't exist. Check the BBB in every state they say they are and there is no record of them. Their "flagship" store is an office building with no retail area.

Thank you for this posting!! I was very very nearly scammed by this person via a Craigslist posting. This one was through www.netconsignor.com I went through the whole process up until the point where my offer was accepted and i was asked to do a bank transfer to a UK account... Umm, depart with cash for something sight-unseen.. no way! But the price was so good that i still almost went for it. After doing some digging he/she uses similar escrow, consignment, consingor, ebay drop off, etc. based "3rd party" company websites to make the sellers story sound legitimate.. and the websites are very well put together. Advice, when you get your email response, take some of the key terms / phrases and google them - like, "paying for my daughters wedding" or "i had to leave town and was planning on selling when i got back" + "craigslist scam". The bottom line is this dude is sneaky and very elegant - when you contact the website company and ask them if your seller is legit... they say "oh yea, hes been a member for years..." and "we have the boat/trailer/car in our custody". It's scary.. |
