They ship supposedly scanned orders of money and insist immediately sending the car
Car fraud has deprived 12 Bulgarians of their cars in the last month. The criminals are foreigners who allegedly sent the money, but they need a bill of lading number to see the amount in your bank account.
The scam started after a person posted his ad on one of the most popular sales sites in our country that he wanted to part with his car. Minutes later, he received a message on the site, apparently translated from a web page. “I hope the article continues to work perfectly? I want to buy give
more photos and
last price of
My whatsapp
+447451226918 “, reads the letter sent from an already deleted account.
It immediately gives the impression that the ad has not been read, as the consumer asks if the product works. This is another key element: the product does not have a name, but is called an “element” (automatic translation of the English word item). The scammer also wants photos of the “item”.
However, the man did not realize it and handed over his bank account to receive the amount. The question then is why not with cash on delivery. “I have the money in my account and if it stays there I will spend it,” was the reply, and the communication is in English. Upon receiving the false bank details, the bandit wrote that he would go to the bank tomorrow morning. His watsap number is English. It also gives an address in England for shipping and requests an email address with bank details.
He wrote at 7 o’clock, Bulgarian time. You transferred the money and a “copy” of the bank order was sent to the email address you requested.
There is a fairly long second message. “Hello, I want you to know that I made the payment for the merchandise and received a notification from my bank. The money has been credited to your account, but it will be released when I confirm that you have sent the merchandise. This is done because it is a money transfer international and therefore you and I are protected.
I hope you understand why the bank wants a scanned document to ship the merchandise to the address I gave you. Then the full amount will be available in your account. “
The post office received a scanned bank order to transfer the money to the seller’s account. It’s painted and it’s misleading.
Experts advise that until your bank convinces you that there is no money in your account, you should not rely on scanned documents for transfers. They are made in illustrative programs and appear real, but since you see them as an electronic document, it is completely impossible to be sure of their authenticity. The only way is to reverse check the content of your accounts.
In this case, it is immediately obvious that while the fake invoice is written in full, the fraudster’s is blurred to only the last 4 numbers that are visible.

Instead, the email was sent by “bank name” @ account.com. It is immediately obvious that the domain is not with the name of the bank, but with a simple public address.
The scammer is so unintelligent that he even wrote his fake last name in lowercase. However, the victim did not notice and sent his car. So the man was left without her and without a penny from the sale. The victims of this type of fraud with cars in our country are 12 per month, and with goods such as telephones there are thousands, because with these articles the fraud works in a way.
Buyers are also victims of car ads. One of the biggest scams is found on the auto sales site autoscout24.com. A Bulgarian likes the Peugeot 5008 and writes to the specified email: [email protected]. They replied that he had to pay half the amount and that they would send the car to Bulgaria. The Bulgarian does, but receives a new letter: the insurers change the conditions and the full amount had to be paid. The buyer complies with the condition and on the other hand stops answering their emails, says a forensic scientist.
There are also scammers on Bulgarian car sales sites. His victim is a user who liked the “Ford Kuga” on the auto.bg site. He wrote to the announced email: dr-prof-miguel @ hotmail .com. Then transfer 30% of the amount, or 2,700 euros. The seller wants the remaining amount: 6,300 euros. This time not by the insurers, but by a requirement of the legislation. The person pays and is contacted by phone. They explain that there is an error in the calculations and he has to pay another 1,170 euros. Even the

and communication to stop and him to file a complaint with the police.
The characteristic of such scams is that the scammers never contact the sites where an ad has been uploaded, even if they posted it themselves, the police explain. The sites themselves would hardly want to be used for fraud and maintain any control. The danger is that the ads are public and anyone can use their criminal imagination for real goods.
There is no limit to the type of sales.
– It can be cars and agricultural machinery, as well as real estate. They also work on dating sites and chat programs like Skype.
Recently, there is a new fashion. We use ad sites like olx.bg and bazaar.bg. Unlike auto.bg, which is a foreign site with a Bulgarian version, the sites used are completely native.

Sofianets posted an advertisement that she was selling a property. He receives an email in English that Syrians fleeing the war are interested in him.
“I have $ 16 million in a box, I will send it to you,” wrote the refugee. The money was protected by a special code to open the digital safe.
“Write the box in your name, I’ll give you 30%,” wrote the liar migrant. In return, he wants the man to send him all of his personal details, a scanned ID, a home address and a phone number, which he does.
With them, the fraudster can withdraw credit, as well as use the data for other frauds, even to obtain money from other criminal activities.
