I think I am being conned by someone as a seller using your site and supposedly using YAHOO finance to do the?

If it's too good to be true, it probably is" as the saying and you say.  \n\nYahoo! finance does not do this.  They state different companies do this, craigslist, ebay, google.  They are not a middleman.  \n\nWestern Union is your tip-off.  A person only has to have their name on the money and can pick it up.  They don't even have to show ID!    So if you send it to Yahoo!finance, care of Andrew Smith, he gets your money and there is no traceability.  Bye -bye money.  \n\nI would shut-off all contact immediately.  I played a game with an Andrew in the UK on craigslist about 6 months ago for a $40,000 car he was offering for $14000.  Same story as yours above.  I told him the only way I could pay him was with a certified cashiers check for $19000.  Use $2000 to cover shipping and I need to have the $3000 over that sent back to me.  I reversed the situation back on them as to what they were trying to do to me.  Never heard from him again, but I reported the e-mail address to yahoo at abuse@yahoo.com and to craigslist, who promptly removed the ad.\n\nAnd they can give you a tracking number easily.  "I have shipped the vehicle via Universal car shippers out of London.  Your tracking number is bs1423-34v-23fd-3432."  How do you know if that's real?  You are only going to check it when you don't get the merchandise.  \n\nContact a customer service person at Yahoo!finance and ask them if it's legit.

Let me get this straight, you have an investor who will send you money if you send him money first? Is that what you are saying? If so, DON'T DO IT. Scam in progress.

Here are some signs someone is conning you:\n\n1. They are offering you a ridiculously large sum of money: if someone would offer you a large sum, why over e-mail?\n\n2. They are asking for your bank account number. If anyone wishes to transfer money to your account, they wouldn't ask for your bank account number in such an unstable medium such as e-mail.\n\n3.  You don't know them and they are giving you money. Would you give money to strangers over e-mail?\n\n4. They are asking for a small payment in return for a larger one. This is common in scholarship scams.\n\n5. You don't know them and you have no real ties to them, yet they want to make business with you (for example: you're an engineer, they are supposedly in real estate.)\n\n6. Any e-mail asking on a first-message basis for any sort of donation or personal info is most likely a hoax for your money.\nHope these helped!

Its almost certainly a scam.  What they will probably do is pay you more than the item is worth, and ask you to send some of the money back (to cover shipping or something along those lines).  By they time their Money Order is discovered to be fraudulent, they have your item and your "refund" money.  And you get stuck paying the returned check fees at your bank as well.  Tell them that you only take Paypal and see if they send you any $$.

I don't think so...they just scammed me into filling all that information and then when I got to the part where they were offering me "extra bonus offers", there was no other option to move on...like no option for a "finish" button or something...\nI usually don't fall for those scams, but I thought maybe for once they wouldn't lie. Oh well, maybe by a prayer it will come in the mail. lol ;)

sorry to hear you got scammed. Really, is there anything you can do? I'm not sure. Why not go through the staff? \nHow'd you get scammed anyway? I don't quite see how... then again, I'm probably cautious to the point of being anal about it. \nMy advice it really to go through the admins. I'm not really sure that there's a way around it.

It Can be.  Really read the customer feedback, make sure they have a lot of different ids that have bought things (not just three or four that have bought a ton).  If they have negative feedback, I'd shy away.\n\nJust remember the shipping might be quite expensive too.\n\nI'd also pay through paypal too, or a trusted way that you could get your money back.  I wouldn't use credit card or check because they can re-use the credit card or use the account number on your check to do damage.  Money order or paypal.  Paypal will also tell you if they are a verified seller - more proof they are legit.\n\nGood Luck, and don't open any of those stupid emails about your account no matter what they say.  Always delete them and if ebay is contacting you it will be online in your mailbox on ebay too.

What are they claiming they are or do?\n\nIt might be another site pretending to be connected to eBay and therefore you may be able to report them to eBay.\n\nAnyways,.. only put money into your own business or to help a friend/family member over the hump to start up something you will help with and know will be sucessful.

If he is offering money in any way do not answer, just delete and delete those that look the same, it is an old scam, and people fall for it everyday, you will wind up sending him some money but you will never see yours.

The following link is for the Yahoo Shopping Buyer Protection Plan: http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/shop/shop-75.html\n- this will explain most things about this.\n\nOther then that, please make sure you read the Security and Disclaimer section: http://help.yahoo.com/help/us/shop/shop-64.html\n\nRemember that all transactions are between you and the seller, Yahoo has nothing to do with it. So if someone says you have to send money to Yahoo via Money Order, wire transfer, or any other payment, this is bogus and that ad needs to be reported.  Yahoo doesn't touch any money transactions done here, so please be careful on who and what you're buying.

Never heard of it, BTW you could report the scam to the FTC and have them check it out.  Peace!

DO NOT SEND MONEY!  You are most likely on the brink of being ripped off.  If this was ligit the person would/should prefer a money order (or check since there is plenty of time for it to clear).  Take the advice of a previous answer and pick a place when you can do a walk through.

I agree this is a matter to take up with Yahoo directly.  If you can not get satisfaction from Yahoo, call your credit card company and contest the charge.  \n\nThe credit card companies have established guidelines and policies for situations like yours.   It might take some work, but you should be happy with the results.

more than likely this is a phishing scam do not open any links inside the email.  Contact yahoo directly for help.

I wouldn't count on getting that information from Yahoo, even though the person involved did rip you off it's a privacy matter.  You might want to contact your local police station to see if they have an internet fraud division.  Problem is, a lot of these scammers are overseas where the police can't touch them.\n\nThere is a very good chance you'll never see your money again.\n\nIn the future, if you receive an eBay related email to your email account, check your ebay messages on your My Ebay page.  If the email does not appear there, it's most likely a scammer email.
