Title: Opinion needed - you think this person is trying to scam me?
Post by: brownpurple31 on February 23, 2012, 02:09 pm
Normally I don't come here to start shit, but this morning I saw a message which really confused me and managed to piss me off at the same time.

First, here's the message I received: "Shipping came to me completely damaged with empty content!!! You uses a very dangerous method of packing! I will have a problems if the post office became aware that they go to my address illegal shipment! I was unblocking your escrow before getting the shipment, but in this situation demands immediate refund(at least 70% of 12.06 BTC! ), otherwise I will not have to give you good feedback.

Regard"

Now, I have ZERO records of the username who sent the message to me (they never purchased anything from me under that account name). I also have no idea what the person is talking about... Their English is confusing.

I told the person to respond with an order number and a better explanation because everyone else who has ordered something from me (especially the item they asked about) has received it fine without any problems.

What's everyone else's opinion on this?

I am interested - as a seller can you see how many transactions buyers have done?  I made my first and the seller was totally happy even when I said I must stick to escrow etc.  But I could have been a scammer for all he knew?

I know when I look at my purchasing stats, I can see total spent, amount of transactions, auto finalise rate, refund rate and how long I've been a member. I think the sellers get most of this, but I remember Christy Nugs and someone else talking on here a few days back, and she said she didn't get all of the info. I'm sure sellers see amount of transactions, refund rate and auto-finalise rate, more than that I don't know.
