How to expose a scammer at Online Bidding Portal
« on: November 07, 2017, 09:34:10 PM »
I discovered a scammer at one of the online auction site.

I send an email to auctioneer to take action against the scammer.

I received the auctioneer and scammer email correspondences. There are quite useful and something new to learn from so I share this out to MWF.

Below are the method and approach how auctioneer corner the scammer. The scammer common replies when being asked to prove the ownership of the watch.
