Scammer: Who are you?



1. I was selling an item, the one that I got as a gift, but decided to let it go due to space limitation. Previously, the platforms that I used were merely WhatsApp groups and FB. However, out of curiosity I tried a new one; Carousel.

2. That morning, I was on medical leave due to sickness. That was when few messages came in, asking for the items. The thing is, you just know it when something is fishy.

3. Out of genuine questions, there was one person, using a female Malay name, but the picture was a boy. Let's call him Malaun. Malaun asked questions, demanded proves of the item and offered good deal. His mistakes were he did not understand Malay. I like to include some Malay words in my English sentences. If you have been here long enough, you should pick up some basic words). Plus, Malaun declined for CoD stating that Ukay Perdana is far away from Selangor. Pfftt...

4. Actually, I already secured the deal with a trusted friend, no biggy on that. The only reason why I still entertained him was too see how far he would go. It made me thinking what if the seller is really in desperate for money. He will surely fall for it. Or, what if the seller is a lady and something goes wrong during the CoD. Be careful folks!

P/s: Buyer being cheap by refusing to pay for transportation cost, hence seller also being cheap by minimising the cost. Semoga Allah mengkayakan kami berdua!
