Fraud Case Studies 12 ¨C False buyer Protection service
Fraud Case Studies 12 ¨C False buyer Protection service
Author: ResourcesAdmin

A buyer received an email from a potential seller. The seller suggested that the buyer should use GlobalSaler to protect his payment. For security purposes, the buyer sent an email to the GlobalSaler Service Team for verification and was informed that the email was from a scammer attempting to conduct fraudulent activities.

Email from the seller:

¡°For payment I prefer GlobalSaler insured payments. We need a safe way to conduct this transaction. GlobalSaler offers purchase protection plans for these situations. They will decide how you pay me so you can be insured for the entire value of this purchase. In case you don't get what you are paying for, you get a full refund from GlobalSaler.

*** If you want to use purchase protection under GlobalSaler, let me know your full name, shipping details and your full order now.

I will contact GlobalSaler and they will get back to us when the needed verifications are done and you got the purchase protection. You will be able to verify the validity of your purchase protection after you have qualified for it. They will give us a transaction number. Should a refund be needed (I doubt that), you email them the payment proof and the transaction number in order to get your money back.¡±

Analysis of this case:

1. GlobalSaler.com is an online business information exchange platform where you can search for business opportunities or post information to attract potential trade partners. At present, we do not get involved in any individual transactions or charge any additional fees to buyers/sellers if they make deals on GlobalSaler.com. Currently, GlobalSaler does not provide a payment protection service, so any statements claiming that we do protect buyer payments are not true.

2. It is wise for new members to contact the GlobalSaler Service Team for verification if they are unsure about a transaction. If you receive suspicious emails from suppliers, always report them to the GlobalSaler Service Team.
