I contacted a seller on Quikr (online classifieds) who was selling Canon 5D Mark III, I sent a query through the site. In reply the vendor sent a mail replying to my queries. Then onwards contacted me on whatsapp via Peter, their sales person (whatsapp no.+[protected]) and asked me to deposit booking amount 10000/- in an account of Nallsopara, Maharashtra. He said to pay 20500/- on delivery. So I deposited booking amount. They initiated order via Direct Handlers Logistics (www.dhlogs.com) n gave me tracking no. (51FDC5D9A5) to see the progress. But after reaching Delhi airport it was on hold and for this they asked me to transfer remaining balance. Later the sales guy asked me 10000/- more saying 'your product is on hold in Delhi Customs' again I deposited with great hitch but he demanded me to deposit 10500/- remaining balance too. I made transfer in hope to get my product now. Now they are asking for IBN no. Passport etc. I don't have either of them. I requested them to cancel order and refund before too and once again. But they were not ready to do so. Then Peters remained in contact with me through whatsapp and sent a SMS via an Indian no. +[protected] which I got it tracked as an Airtel mobile no. registered in the name of Hike company, Gurgaon only for sending message. One cannot call on that. Similarly his other no. is +[protected]. I had sent couple of mails on company’s customer care id but no reply from them. Please help me to get the refund.

Hello guys! My name is Dauren myself with the country with Kazakhstan in Almaty! With me also happened this terrible story. I wanted to buy a laptop MSI GT83 VR good game for my son on New Year's gift. I saw the ad on a site in our local store in Kazakhstan. I called who does not pick up the phone, store the number, and he appeared in Wassape. His name is Gary Anthony. He had some cheap laptops as the time I wanted. We agreed on a price $ 911. He said that I have to send money via Money Gram, I sent him $ 455 .After he said, I will send it send me an invoice for the goods, and track code. I wrote to him that he had sent to me via DHL, he sent me through another company WWW. Directhigtlogis.com said that this is a cheap shipping company. After I sent him $ 455, he again said to send him money. And I sent him another $ 455 .After that I sent him, I suspected immediately that something was wrong. Track code that is not as it should be a number! Then he wrote to me that the goods are on hold at the office in Poland trekenu code he showed that he was there. He began to ask what is it? how so? Why is it we have not agreed initially. He initially responds so quickly, so fast writes. He sent me a warranty certificate that it will return the money anyway. I started swearing why you are coming from? he replied that it is necessary to pay a bribe to the customs that his hiding there. And he govarit it must still send $ 342 is not what I said, I will not send him, as the goods come after me will pay. It's your problem with customs. He strongly govarit me that his boss govarit well to pay him only $ 200 more, and all your goods will be released to you. I said, sent him on further. Dai said the boss himself room to talk to him, he gave me my same number vaybera. I ponemaet that this divorce, deceived me, I was very hurt that I promised my son the laptop he wanted. Guys, I beg of you, let's punish, or find, write to the police about this fraud ! I beg you! Punish them!

So here is my story... I was looking for a phone online (ecaytrade.com) it is a legit website where you can post an ad to advertize all the selling product here in Cayman islands. So I saw one ad and it has whatsapp so then I messaged the number. He replies fast. I was so interested because he is selling cheap stuff, I ordered! He send a picture of the phone etc... I sent half price of the item, I whatsapp him the picture of receipt from western union (he uses the name of AGENNA BATEMAN) then he said he will the item as soon as the accountant confirm the payment then the accountant confirmed it he said he will send the phone now to the delivery company called DIRECT HANDLER LOGISTICS but then he message me that he needs the other half of the payment. I argued with him as that is not the agreament that we talked about. He said that I need to send the other $300 balance because his "boss" wants to confirm it first before he give any information to me. Of course I argue him again. To end up the arguement I sent the balance then he send me the tracking number. I saw as I track the package in less that a minute from mexico the package arrived to El Salvador then Puerto Rico. He messaged me and said that the packege is hold by customs and I need to send another $450 to pay the tax. I find ways to find out! I called customs and then they said they have no any package named to me and said if that is a phone the wouldn't hold it as that package aren't meant to Puerto Rico. That's when I figured out that that is scam... I know my money will never come back... I need to move on. I will just leave it all to God. I hope my money could help them and I hope they will use my money in good things. Lesson Learned. I don't worry myself as there is always a KARMA. (The pictures that I attached is his pictures. He said that is him.)
