What scam are u talking about?

Awwwwwwwww. Poor Ahmed needed some attention. Poor guy most of the time I didnt know what the hell was he taking about except for this last post! Well I wish u best of Luck Ahmed.

That is one stupid scam and well spotted ArnieGang!!!

That's put a smile on my face on a Monday morning!!

I loved the way he used the same profile on ebay to bith buy the replica's and then try to sell them as genuine products!!!!

What was the scam, wont let me on, says users with special access only ????????????????????

He was selling fake designer watches that he was buying from another ebayer for around $25 then selling them for anything upto $25000!!!

problem is, its always a small world on the www, and as it happens i collect/like expensive watches and i happened to have the brochure, strangely enough the watch model didnt exist .

Also his statement about the difference between waterproof and water resistant and the guarantee period, was factually incorrect.

Ohh and his email was fake also, as was the telephone number in Switzerland that i rang


Its a bit like when i walk around Karama, i have a joke with them when they offer me fake rolex's etc, i show them mine and just say, "why would i buy a fake when i wear the real thing "


They just smile.

ohhhh and he has removed his ebay link that he was advertising on, his username is VIP Pilot

Way to go Arnie!!!!

I had to laugh when I seen he was leaving the forums......you shouldn't be scaring the members away like that ha, ha

Have a good one!!!!!!!

Thanks Kelly

Just a case of looking out for the peeps on here making sure no one get robbed or ripped off. I hate scammers, they are the scum of the earth, preying on people that dont know any better and vulnerable.

I fear doing business on ebay or things like that over the net because of scammers and theives...

Why can't people just me honest...

Sadly they are about im affraid. But more worryingly people actually fall for these scams. Ebay is safe if you follow the rules and guidance.

But people always think they are getting "something for nothing or cheap".

It never is, theres always a catch!!!

Ain't that a fact. But, still even if something is a regular but decent price, what garantee is there that the person delivers?

I wonder why they never caught this guy???

Just to be fair to that guy, I don't really think he intended to scam people into paying 250,000 Dirhams for a watch ...etc.

I mean it's an online forum by middle-class expats in Dubai, hardly the market for scammers.

However, from the other posts which go something like this:-

Ahmed's post: I have a 250 000 Dhs gift.
HP's post: blah blah blah ...
Ahmed's post: Oh yeah and I guaranteed the sale by 1 million Dhs from my bank account.
HP's post: blah blah blah.
Ahmed's post: Did I mention when I bought another watch for $$$$$$ dollars?

He just basically wants to meet gold-diggers so he can get a free nightstand.

But that's just my two cents

Linda - you do not have access to his account because it has been removed from Ebay. Fortunately i did, and i checked his buying and selling history. His method of sale was against all advice give on Ebay, mainly DO SEND MONEY TO WESTERN UNION ACCOUNTS. Take my word for it he was a scammer.

Liban - It is ok to buy on Ebay if you think you see a bargin. Just read the buyers protection section. If you purchase via Paypal you are protected up to certain levels. So, if you dont receive the goods etc, the money is clawed back via the sellers paypal account.

This i may add is only relevant to the UK Ebay Site using "Pay Pal". Liban. We have quite strict credit controls in the UK. Under our Consumer Protection Act, if we use a credit card for to buy a car for example, and the car is crap, etc etc, and the dealer is not interested or refuses to refund the money, we are able to claim the money back from the Credit Card companies.

The "Act"makes the Credit Card company responsible for disputes regarding products bought with a Credit Card.

However you have the same protection as long as you purchase products using the "Pay Pal System" on Ebay.

So if you see a bargin on Ebay UK buy it Liban using Pay Pal - you will be ok honest.

some investigaation there arnie, u shud be working for MI6 , at least you could have avoided getin caught on camera , I HOPE

thats called just being a smart shopper and anyone should have that basic understanding if they want to buy/sell over the net.
