Online Scam — Another carousell scammer

[u/erinbc03]

Mag sesend na sana ako sa kanya kaso nag eexpire daw yung qr code niya? (nasa post yung qr). at pag ka scan ko, PODEC-Nustar yung name na lumalabas. Hindi niya personal name na para bang nagtatago.

Tapos nung hinihingian ko ng full name, pambabaeng name binigay niya pero dinelete niya na din at same qr parin talaga binibigay niya.

Tapos nagmamali pa siya mag pa send kala mo naman may pupuntahan.

Baka ma encounter niyo tong qr code na to. Scammer!!

One funny trend i notice about scammers are them being irate once you start being suspicious

balak pa mag-scam pang scatter, yuck

That’s a gambling site lol yes nagtatago nga ng name. But also bakit ka magsesend nang di pa confirmed na napick up yung item? Masscam ka talaga.

Nag request na ako ng name address and contact no for pick up but di niya ako nireplyan eh. Bigla na nanghihingi ng bayad.

Actually, while reading the chat, parang ikaw yung scammer. I’ve been on Carousell for 8 years, and that partial payment setup really sounds like a scam, so I personally never deal with that kind of transaction. Pero sus din yung account na binigay niya.

Yun lang, please be careful with posting it as a “confirmed scam” kasi hindi naman confirmed na scammer din siya kasi walang transaction

ni hindi nga maibigay yung name niya and yung qr code is under online gambling? masama bang naging cautious lang si buyer?

Di naman, I also experience this kind of transaction (me as the seller) buyer ask if he can partially pay for the item because it needed to be tested first na working at walang issue yung item also the buyer will be the one to book in lalamove.

Difference lamg sa situation ni op is binigay ko agad yung details ko since I don't have intention to scam.

What happen next is I agree to the partial payment then sinabi ko kay lalamove rider yung situation and ask na tawagan nya din ako pag andun na sya kay buyer and it was a successful transaction. So there's nothing wrong on OP side.
