A woman leaves an advertisement online to sell something (in my case on ksl.com for an atv). Immediately drawn to the add because the atv was $2000 less than the normal price.in the body of the ad she states that she does not have a phone, that you have to email her.
After several emails she states that the atv is in Medford, OR and not in Ogden, UT. She goes on to tell you that she will send the atv to me and the title and funds would be held in escrow by using Moneybookers (moneybookers.com - a United Kindom based company).
The emails were supposedly sent from Medford, OR on Feb. 2 at around 9:35 pm but kept coming in on Feb. 3 at 3:35 am which is the time zone for the United Kingdom (6 hours ahead of me in MST).
This alerted me that something was fraudulent. I confronted her in an email and never heard another word from her.By the way, she was soliciting money from me to be sent through Moneybookers. Read the other reports about Moneybookers on this site and other sites (google Moneybookers). They have a real phone number in the UK but it is only part of the whole scam operation.
Do not send money through them!!!
