Hi fellow trading post sellers,

There is a fictitious buyer going under the name of Tracy McDermitt who is buying your items, going through to check-out, requesting payment details (ie, your bank account or paypal details) then keeps you in limbo!

DO NOT GIVE OUT ANY INFORMATION AS THIS IS A SCAM! She already has 3 negative feedback comments from other sellers being caught up in this scam so sellers beware!

Below is an email you may receive from her:

Hello __________,

I am writing to confirm my Intrest on this your product ,I would like to pay soonest Via PayPal or bank transfer moreso i would have love to pick it up my self but due to work load i cant but i would like it to be sent to my Pastors son who is having his birthday in Nigeria i need it wrapped and sent to him as a birthday gift.And i would be adding 150 extra for this to send through Dhl International.Get back to me asap on with payment details and total cost. Tracy

Fake address details she provides is:
tracy_937 (tracy_937@yahoo.com)
234 ben las place
Brisbane,
QLD, 4000

Apart from the fact she is requesting your details, it is a big inconvenience since you have to re-list your item as well as apply for a refund of the selling fee! Just thought I would bring you all up to speed since there is really nothing that can be done about this!
