These offers seems like the data harvesting scam.... XYZ brand is giving away free recharge and tshirts on their 10th anniversary....click the link and register.....lol....who even falls for these schemes....
My point was how data harvesting schemes are dumb and stupid, in same way these oneplus for 6k schemes are dumb....Not really data harvesting. It is more of letting the gullible part away with a relatively small amount first before shipping happens and then blocking the person every where
Well if you refer to my chats circled above, where I have asked the guy the exact query you have the answer.I have come across this a lot. Just by applying one simple logic, one can get a clear idea
Why can't the person who is ordering, order for himself and sell as second hand? Why is he letting go of profit rather than selling at a minimal amount
Nevertheless, fraudsters are everywhere
Overseas claim never take place for such petty amounts... imagine you are some Dubai sheikh with 10000cr in your a/c, will you even bother if someone steals 50k or a lac worth amount?My dumbass of a cousin brother encountered one of these guys on olx. Paid 500rs shipping advance. Then rejected the same deal and told me "what if I get a fake product." Lol.
I'm more concerned about the stolen cc. Did they never get traced? Or are the claims all a sham?
I didn't get one point. Are these guys actually doing any Carding or are they just pretending and just making money off the advance that people pay.
Not too sure what OP is going on here. Are these items actually being bought using stolen credit cards, or are they duping people into thinking they're using stolen cards to buy said items and then runaway with some cash from the victims.
That's what I also thought. The screenshots seem to be fake. They hid the amazon order ID.90% chance it is the latter. The modus operandi is that the scammers create make believe screenshots of conversations between them and people who supposedly received the product and share in the same group to make people believe that people are indeed getting products. Gullible people fall for this and since initial amount asked isn't much, people pay in hopes that they will indeed be able to score a cheap deal.
They pay the scammer and he then keeps the victim engaged for sometime with fake tracking or screenshots and such and then may be blocks him completely.
