BEWARE PEOPLE SELLING USED MOBILES ON EBAY, QUIKR, OLX AND OTHER CLASSIFIED WEBSITES !!!

Hello,

I would like to bring an incident to public attention who are trying to sell their used mobiles on classified websites like quikr & olx. I had posted an ad on quikr & olx to sell my used mobile phone for which i got a reply from rony.c1010@gmail.com stating:

"Message: Let me know the condition of the mobile phone and the final price u want to sell it...."

I replied to him with the price details & the condition and the mail that i got as a response to it is what made me suspicious. I got a response from another mail id - soulgracious@live.com and he was asking me to ship the mobile to Nigeria and was ready to pay double the price i quoted. Why would anybody pay double the price for a used phone when he can get a new one for that rate without the hassles of shipment from a foreign country.


"Message - Yes.... you will send the item to my cousin address and i will pay you the total amount for it plus the shipping to my cousin address....I will offer you 18,000INR for the item and the shipping via Local Post to my cousin address below....

I checked on Google to find if there were any such complaints and I found one.

PEOPLE PLEASE DO NOT FALL FOR THE TRAP AS THEY WOULD PROMISE TO PAY MORE THAT WHAT YOU QUOTE..
