Bonjour, je viens vers vous car j'ai subi une arnaque sur Le Bon Coin. Mon gamin a voulu vendre une PS3 et PSP avec 3 jeux. La personne était intéressée, elle m'a envoyé des mails. Je n'avais pas de compte PayPal, donc j'en ai créé un. Ensuite, ma demande d'achat a été de recharger 2 cartes PCS à 150 euros et de bien vouloir confirmer l'envoi du colis, ce que j'ai fait. Elle m'avait transmis un numéro de téléphone PayPal où le numéro ne fonctionne pas. J'ai pu bloquer mon colis à la poste, car PayPal ne fonctionne pas comme ça. Maintenant, personne ne veut porter plainte contre moi. Que dois-je faire ? Merci à tous.

Thank you for responding so quickly. I called PayPal and they told me it was a scam, so I blocked the package, but now the other person is threatening to file a complaint. What should I do?
Hello,
I am writing to inform you that I have been a victim of a large-scale scam.
I put a motorcycle leather pants for sale on Le Bon Coin on 04/23/2014 at 7 PM, fixed price of €150. Thirty minutes later, I received a text message from the number 0667612487
the person wanted me to notify her by email at the following address, dubien1981@hotmail.fr, if the item was still available.
I did so without delay, and she replied saying that she was interested and that she would be willing to add €35 more to reserve it for her,
and that she wanted a transaction via PayPal and Colissimo. I have an account but didn’t know how to use it, so she directed me to send her a transfer request for €185, which I did.
She made the transfer, sent me the shipping address, and everything was fine up to that point. The next day, on 04/25/14, I sent the package, and she emailed me asking me to provide her with the tracking number, my phone number, and the shipping company handling it, so I sent her the information.
In the afternoon, I received an email from this person saying that my PayPal account was not international, her account was based in Switzerland, and that she had sent me the sum of €450 to my account and that I needed to pay these €450 with PCS vouchers, so 3 vouchers of €150 to see the amount appear and to unlock it afterward.
I did so without delay, I went to get the vouchers, I called the number 22556389414 that was on the fake PayPal email with a false address, which I discovered later, and I gave her the recharge numbers.
A second email informed me that there had been a bug in their computer servers, which credited my account with an additional €1,050, so they asked me to do the same thing, buy 7 PCS vouchers of €150 totaling €1,050. I bought them and gave them to her. I discovered the scam when I received a third email from the fake Swiss tax authority asking me to pay a transaction fee of €3,335 in PCS vouchers.
Total loss: €1,500.

Hello turgon60. I'm in the same situation as you. I listed 2 cookbooks on Le Bon Coin and barely a moment after posting, I received an email from a customer saying he wants to buy the books without negotiating the price. He said he would pay me via PayPal, and like you, I'm facing the same problem; I need to buy PCS coupons because this guy has an account in Switzerland. The phone number looks oddly similar to yours, 11544817901, and he has an accent that sounds African. I reached 1300 euros. To settle a Swiss tax, he's asking me for 1050 euros in coupons. I'm going to stop paying and see what happens.
same scam for us on Facebook. We fell for a puppy that was being given away. We only had to pay the shipping costs: 100 euros in PCS. I transferred the money. A second email informing me that my puppy cannot leave because the transport cage is non-compliant and worn out. I rent one. The transport service is nice: they cover half of the rental cost. I still have to pay 150 euros which will be refunded at 98% upon delivery. I transfer the 150 euros via PCS. Around 6 p.m., a new email from Orly customs: my dog needs a residence certificate worth 250 euros to be able to travel in France (strange for an animal born in France).
I have the audacity to call Orly who confirms that no dog is with them.
Result: for my kids, we wanted to tighten our belts to get them a dog and we ended up spending 250 euros.

Hello, my name is Valérie Duterte. I was the victim of a huge scam. The perpetrator of this crime was a businessman in the oil industry who urgently needed to go to Ivory Coast. Upon his arrival, he got in touch with me, and we chatted on Skype for a few weeks. After that, he told me he had been a victim of an assault and asked for my help. It was from that moment that my ordeal began; I spent up to 49,200 euros. Given the situation, I filed a complaint with the French gendarmerie, and the lieutenant advised me to contact Lieutenant Michel Edouard, an internet scam specialist. So, I got in touch with Lieutenant Michel Edouard, and thanks to his investigations, the scammer was brought before the court in Abidjan, and I got my money back. Therefore, I advise you to contact him if you are a victim of a scam. Email:

I don’t want to send it to her and if I understood correctly, it’s a scam. Thanks for this forum.
