Ioffer Complaint - Fraud - Selling Merchandise Through Internet
Selling Merchandise Through Internet - Complaint
On February 17, 2007 I saw an add on iOffer I saw Cartier glasses being offered at a good price. I have contacted the seller via internet and he told me to send him $100.00 via Western Union and he will send me the glasses. Money was wired to him the next day and as of today I still do not have the product I have paid for. I have contacted iOffer several times but have not heard back from them yet.
I am sure I am not the only one who has been scammed out of their money, this advertisement is nation wide. Do not have anything to do with oats16@gmail.Com.

First clue you were about to be scammed: Western Union.

Yep. Kiss the hundred bucks bye-bye and when they ask for more money dont give it to them.

Our local police department occasionally publishes articles in area newspapers and/or holds meetings on Internet scams. One of the first things they mention: If payment is requested via Western Union--just say 'No!'

Excuse me for being unknowledgeable since Ive never used the service, but how does Western Union work and how is it vulnerable to scam artists?

Yup, your problem was Western Union. It is NOT safe and secure at all for online purchases, especially dealing with strangers.
It works by wiring money from bank account, or in-person to pay the money. Then the fund is transferred. That's not a lot you can do to track it or anything.
So it has nothing to do with iOffer. I've been using it for awhile and it works well for me. Just be careful who you deal with. There's people like that all over the web.

MRM, WU is unrecoverable. Once you wire the money it is gone. So many people just don't use common sense when it comes to online auction shopping. I am too tired for a tutorial so google online auction scams and get up to speed before you shop. You can have great shopping experiences, IF you protect yourself BEFORE.
