Scam or Not!! Please Help.?

This is my guess. All the merchandise is stolen. If someone finds out guess who placed the ad and received the money? ℬ ℋ

Definitely, a scam. Steer clear.

Ignore it. You don't get own for nowt.

Hello Stay well away, They are trying to get you to front this operation so when the problems start it is you Ebay and police will be dealing with not the "Boss" At a guess the items don't exist but you have photo's. You post them and when won the money is sent to you including P & P. Try guessing how much P & P is to Australia ? At this point the Boss will ask for the P & P money so the items can be delivered, You send it to him and. Nothing, The item never arrives and you will be made to repay everything and could even face fraud charges. At a guess the Cash for the P & P (Taken out by you from your Bank Account) will be requested to be sent via Western Union to an address, (This will be fake and someone will have the required bills to collect the money and can from any Western Union Outlet). The other reason could be drugs hidden inside the items. Why buy a laptop and pay all the P & P from the U.K when they can buy the same thing on Ebay in Australia with lower P & P. Sorry but if all the money and that includes the P & P is in your account and the Boss pays the P & P to have it sent I would suspect drugs. Best advice I can give is contact your nearest police station with a print out of the details in case they are interested then walk away. Andy C

IT'S A SCAM! UNLESS YOU ACTUALLY MEET THE BOSS AT AN OFFICE OR WHEREVER THEY ARE HEADQUARTERED AND IT SEEMS CREDIBLE/LEGIT THIS IS DEFINITELY A SCAM, TRUST ME IF YOUR NOT SURE ABOUT IT DON'T EVEN CONSIDER IT. IF I WAS YOU I WOULD NOT TAKE THAT JOB!

you going to get a huge bill from tax man this is a tax dodge you are now responsible for items jump ship quick or you go down with hustle

You are correct. This is a scam and one that can land you in prison. You are ONLY protected on Ebay if YOU have proof that YOU sent the item to the buyer's verified address There are no laptops, phones, etc. There is a scammer who wants you to post pictures of electronic items that don't exist. You sell it, then send them all but £100 of the selling price hoping they send the laptop. But there is NO laptop. Say it sells for £1000, you are sending £900 to these scammers.The scammers will send you a fake delivery notification so you think the buyer got the item. A week later the buyer files a dispute with Paypal saying they never got the laptop. Ebay contacts you to ask for proof of delivery. You don't have it. Paypal withdraws £1000 from your account, and you sent £900 to some scammer. If you do this several times, the police are going to come after you for fraud there is NO reason why anyone would ask a complete stranger to post items for them. Ebay is a global marketplace. There is no reason why someone in the UK cannot ship internationally Do not touch this and report this ASAP to the site where you saw this "job" posted

100% scam. There is no job. There is only a scammer trying to steal your hard-earned money and maybe your freedom. The next email will be from another of the scammer's fake names and free email addresses pretending to be the "assistant" and will supply you with stock photos of merchandise. You are suppose to open an ebay, paypal and craigslists accounts in YOUR name, advertise the merchandise, collect money in YOUR name and send the cash onto the scammer via Western Union or moneygram. The scammer will NEVER ship anything to the buyers, so you get the real life job of paying them all back, plus pay fees to ebay and paypal. Then you are ip banned from ebay, paypal and craigslists. Your paypal-linked bank account or credit card could be permenantly closed and now you are blacklisted from ever opening another account at your bank. Being ip banned for scamming is the real reason that scammer can't post on ebay or craigslist or any other auction/selling site. Western Union and moneygram do not verify anything on the form the sender fills out, not the name, not the street address, not the country, not even the gender of the receiver, it all means absolutely nothing. The clerk will not bother to check ID and will simply hand off your cash to whomever walks in the door with the MTCN# and question/answer. Neither company will tell the sender who picked up the cash, at what store location or even in what country your money walked out the door. Neither company has any kind of refund policy, money sent is money gone forever. Any "paycheck" you receive will be fake and will bounce. In fact the scammer might try to steal more of your money by saying he "accidently" sent a check made out for "too much money". Then he will demand you cash that large fake check sent on a stolen UPS/FedEx billing account number and send most of the "money" via Western Union or moneygram back to the scammer. When your bank realizes the check is fake and it bounces, you get the real life job of paying back the bank for the bounced check fees and all the bank's money you sent to an overseas criminal. Now that you have responded to a scammer, you are on his 'potential sucker' list, he will try again to separate you from your cash. He will send you more emails from his other free email addresses using another of his fake names with all kinds of stories of great jobs, lottery winnings, millions in the bank and desperate, lonely, sexy singles. He will sell your email address to all his scamming buddies who will also send you dozens of fake emails all with the exact same goal, you sending them your cash via Western Union or moneygram. You could post up the email address and the emails themselves that the scammer is using, it will help make your post more googlable for other suspicious potential victims to find when looking for information. Do you know how to check the header of a received email? If not, you could google for information. Being able to read the header to determine the geographic location an email originated from will help you weed out the most obvious scams and scammers. Then delete and block that scammer. Don't bother to tell him that you know he is a scammer, it isn't worth your effort. He has one job in life, convincing victims to send him their hard-earned cash. Whenever suspicious or just plain curious, google everything, website addresses, names used, companies mentioned, phone numbers given, all email addresses, even sentences from the emails as you might be unpleasantly surprised at what you find already posted online. You can also post/ask here and every scam-warner-anti-fraud-busting site you can find before taking a chance and losing money to a scammer. 7 "Rules to follow" to avoid most fake jobs: 1) Job asks you to use your personal bank account and/or open a new one. 2) Job asks you to print/mail/cash a check or money order. 3) Job asks you to use Western Union or moneygram in any capacity. 4) Job asks you to accept packages and re-ship them on to anyone. 5) Job asks you to pay visas, travel fees via Western Union or moneygram. 6) Job asks you to sign up for a credit reporting or identity verification site. 7) Job asks you to post ads on ebay/craigslist or on forums advertising merchandise, programs or other websites Avoiding all jobs that mention any of the above listed 'red flags' and you will miss nearly all fake jobs. Only scammers ask you to do any of the above. No. Exceptions. Ever. For any reason. If you google "fake job posting ads scam", "selling on ebay fraud Western Union" or something similar, you will find hundreds of posts from victims and near-victims of this type of scam.
