I posted a sales on mudah and a guy replied to me interested to buy my item. He said he is a Malaysian but insisted to pay using international transfer by Scotia Bank.
Sounded very fishy. When I asked more, he stopped replying me.
-
I almost come across these scammers every week, just flag them as scam on the app :D :D
-
I always encounter scammers since I sell alot of valueable on mudah beside watches. Its very easy to tell, use common sense to test them and the will expose.
-
It usually depends on the mood. Sometimes I go on trolling them around for 2-3 hours just for entertainment, if not I'd just directly say it to their face and block the conversation and end it.
-
Also there was this one time when this scammer wanted to marry me and be my future wife. She even showed me this fake picture that said "Mudah verified". It was extremely hilarious. Totally loved annoying, I went on for 2 hours trolling the scammer!
-
They exist everywhere, even advertise car for sale, and need money for custom clearance etc
-
When in doubt, don't sell. That's my motto.
-
besides mudah, i also use carousell. typical message that i receive would be "I'm interested Chat me up on W/S ????0111xxxxx Thanks." Quite easy to differentiate the scammer and genuine buyer. Scammer just want to hit and run, they wont waste too much time on a person.
-
When I put up an advert in Mudah, almost all scammers contacted me asking to use whatsapp chat. Saying they will make direct payment and asking for my bank details. In Carousell, also, there are scammers who say "contact using whatsapp. Number is "011******"". Checking Carousell on their profile and find they are no longer there - so confirmed as scammers.

Well, the using of the chat platform in mudah may be considered a "modus operandi", but this is recommended by mudah, as there are many scammers asking to 'chat' using whatsapp. For those buyers who asked me to use whatsapp, my first comment is to ask for the name and location - if the buyer is genuine and serious, I will get the correct reply. But I can say, so far, I do not get any correct replies to my question - for this, I am not really keen in chatting with those so-called "buyers" using whatsapp only as they may be sending scam messages thereafter or they may be using my mobile number in whatsapp sending messages on "loans" by 'ah long' or other adverts.

I met the same situation as you. They will telling you to transfer back the balance to them then only they can give you the exact amount for the item. The so called scammers pattern :thumbsdown:

better use the chat platform rather than whatsapp. it is safer and you can track the buyer profile on the website too

rarely happen as if someone want to cheat you they will hve to message you on the apps first and you can easily spot if they are scammers or real buyers before decide to sell to them.

Whenever I get chat(s) from who I think are scammers, I always report them to Carousell's support people, and get their replies. But in most of the cases, those scammers either deleted their account profile in Carousell or left them, after writing a message providing their phone numbers for whatsapp, so the Carousell support cannot do anything further, except, perhaps to just put them into a "scammer" database records... not sure whether they do this. Anyway, their support people always tell me to communicate in Carousell to ensure genuine buyers/sellers.

not really. because only serious buyer can come up to chat you and asked for your number if they confirm buying from you. people from mudah can directly msg you on whatsapp lor
sometimes these scammers will pretend to be serious buyer and ask for your number especially when you're selling expensive things like camera, phone etc. so seller need to be alert also

whats is the differences between these online platform?some say that lazada is good but some prefer carousell. dunno how to differentiate between these platform

Exactly?as a seller you must be very alert and make sure you receive money before you post out. expensive things need to be extra careful so that scammers has no chance to cheat you

As mentioned, expensive items like camera, which I sold one in Carousell, I asked for a bank transfer of funds or cash deposit to my bank account first before I pass the camera over to the buyer. Since the amount is quite high, even when they bring cash, which I do not know whether they are counterfeit or not, that's why I ask for the cash to be deposited into my bank account or for a bank transfer via the Internet. My buyer did the bank transfer in the meetup. :)

Carousell would definitely ranked one for most likelihood its a scam. Mudah site i do get alot of scam enquiry but i have been accustomed to pinpoint scams from non-scam

Almost same as other platforms but their traffic user is higher compare to other. It's great chance to you get engage with the buyer. Not only can sell new goods but also used items as well. Bargain bidding in Carousell is easier because they do provide options for making offers.

You can get help from their support team and their community to make sure that the account belongs to a scammer or not. Usually in the Carousell scammer will use the same tactics and ask to continue discuss in whatsapp. Just beware with them!
