After bidding on a Laptop computer on e-bay, I received an email from a (boule nevlegule) claiming he owned an electronics store in Milano Italy. And that he had the exact same Laptop top for sale for $300.. And if I was interested to contact him. I had a feeling this guy was a scammer from the start and as it turns out he was...
After several e-mails he had convinced me that he was a legitimate bussiness man and I made out a Western Union Money as he requested for the agreed value...
Name: Sandulache Cosmin Nicolae
address: via Farini 81
city: Milano
zip-code: 20100
country: Italy
He informed me that he had received the money and would send my Laptop immediately via UPS world wide shipping company... Ensuring the Laptop had left and I would see it in Australia in approx 48hours.
3 days later I received an e-mail from him to say he had made a mistake on my order, as he is a very busy bussiness man, he accidently sent me 3 Laptops not 1...!! He then asked me to pay for the extra 2 Laptops, to save him recalling his package.
I refused and told him I only wanted 1 Laptop not 3.. I knew I had been scammed instantly.!
A day or so later he returned my e-mail claiming he was very sorry for his mistake and had recalled the package. He ensured me my new package with my 1 laptop was on it's way, but would take a few days longer.
Weeks later and I had received no package, after sending him several e-mails he finally contacted me asking for extra money because he had to recall the original package. He claimed he was in Barcelona SPAIN on bussiness and to send the money transfer to him there:
name: Sandulache Cosmin Nicolae
adress: Comte d'Urgell 187
city: Barcelona
zip-code: 31210
country: Spain
I told him I refused to pay him anymore money until him gave me the UPS tracking number on the package, so I could contact them over the internet to see where the package was, and if there even was a package.
It's has been nearly 2 months now and I have tried to contact this scammer everyday but he does not reply to my e-mails..
I know that I will never see my Laptop and that there was never any Laptops...
The reason that I am writing this is so that this man does get away with this again. Other buyers, beware of scammers like this man.
I am going to do everything I can to find info on this guy, I dont not want him to get away with this.
I am actually going on holidays in 2 months to Italy, Germany and Croatia, so will definately go to Milano to see if his store really exists... Will let you people know...
If anyone has heard of this guy before or of similar scams
Please let me know...
