Ok, I had an item on E-Bay, an in dash DVD/TV touchscreen, which never sold while it was on there. I had someone e-mail me a day or so after the item was taken off E-Bay. He was interested in my product and made me an offer on it.
We went on to disuss the payment method that he was interested in. He procalimed that he would like to use an escrow service. He then told me that "he was already a member of www.onlineglobalservice.com". So never doing this before, I went to the website, checked it out, or thought I was checking it out. It looked legitimate to me so I agreed to using it. I took the necessary steps in setting up the transaction.
Well, the website said that they had received his money and that it was legit. So I shipped the package to Spain where he said he was. Well the day after the package shipped out I went to the website just to "check things out" and it wouldn't let me go to the website. It said "site temporarily disabled".
This went on for 3 days. I contacted Raul, the guy that was supposidly buying my in dash DVD/TV, and he said "it is just an update. They do this every month. It will be up and running in about 12 hours." I waited the 12 hours and sure enough it was up and running. WITH NO MEMORY OF MY TRANSACTION!
I proceeded to write them numerous E-Mails with no responce. I then began checking into the internet fraud information located online. Thats when I realized that I had been a victom of Interenet Fraud.
