Interesting. How did he do that? I'm asking because I've never heard of a 419 scammer hijacking an email, let alone an ebay account. |

beats me - I never reply to phising e-mails, systems fully protected by anti virus, spybot, adware, windows defender - the kids don't know my password...etc
How the hell he hijacked the ebay account I don't know. I caught it within 24 hours and ebay steped in nicely.
But fool me once he got one he got the other - I used a separate gmail account for ebay stuff only - but with the same user name and password as for ebay.
He won't get anything from the email account, nothing. But his reply shows he is waiting.
Now just want to have fun baiting the person into thinking all his computer bits and xboxes are on their way.
Mod (TS) edit to add from post two minutes later:
yup he called me "mate"
thats an unedited copy and paste of his reply |

That's how he got the email, then. Once he had the ebay, the rest is fair game.

Except that it was connected to your ebay account, which is presumably registered under your real name, address, phone number, financial information, etc. In short, all the things you don't ever want a scammer to have about you.

Please, please read the stickies - especially those on baiting safely. I would strongly suggest that you do not continue to bait someone who has all of the above-mentioned information about you! |

Hi Alfred. Welcome to eater.
Actually you present us with a golden opportunity. Firstly you're a photographer. Secondly you're in one of the many hotspots for scamming activity.
I am very curious how you found this one post in the mountain of threads we have here.
It is sad that these scammers have targeted your business and good name. I think all of us would be very impressed if you could offer us some of your pictures of your business and what you look like. I think a lot of us would be interested in what backgrounds you use for taking pictures.
Personally I want to know how many photos you've taken over the years with people acting and/or dressing strangely in your shop. You do realise we've probably been sending you business for quite awhile.
How about it Alfred. Share with us your experiences, and a few pictures of your local area. |

Alfred, didn't you read my first response? That's not something I've encountered before. Is it possible we could see your website or a listing in the local Nigerian directory?
I think we'd all be very interested in expanding our knowledge and love of the better things your country produces.
I'm also interested in your operations. What's your preferred camera for your photography? You use digital or film? I've got a Canon EOS 400D with 90-300mm lens and wide-angle. Do you find the focal range lacking in these models, especially in low light or full sun? |

Thanks for the Advice.
Commodity trading is a secondary job but primarily I am a photographer and I earn my daily income from Photography which is a family business that has been since 1985 yes my skype id is starkgroup and the name of the commodity trading firm is starkgroup Nigeria Enterprise and that of Photography is Alpha Photos which was founded by my dad pastor Alfred Fadugba in 1985 at the University of ibadan then |

Alfred, let me tell you what I have a problem with, you say trading is your secondary job, so presumably, you earn most of your money by doing photography, yet on your Stakgroup company profile page www.alibaba.com/company/11016881.html it says:
Quote: |
Total Annual Sales Volume: US$2.5 Million - US$5 Million |
And that is definitely you because it confirms Alpha Photos in the address on that page as:
Quote: |
Stakgroup International Nigeria
Street Address : Alpha Photos Building OPP Oando Filling Station Apata |
So, am I to assume that you make more than US$2.5 Million - US$5 Million from taking photos? If you don't make US$2.5 Million - US$5 Million from the Stakgroup company, then you are blatantly lying and completely misrepresenting your volume in order to get people to come to your oil and gas company, so, which is it? Because I would love to have a secondary job earning millions whilst I take a few photos for $30 per hour as listed on your freelance photography page! |

I dont lie or never lied with any information that we have provided. Consider one fact I have been consistent with all my my inflammations and my real name been used all along. The Commodity trading which I said is secondary come once in a while and that has made me to travel to meet client like 4 occasion we have been able to close just 2 deals one in copper cathode and the other in D2 so I am not here to defend what we make or not to to clear our company name. search the web very well we have our reputation both in Photography and commodity trading which we just started in 2005 and photography since 1985.If you need more information call me
i can can show u myself on w web.for the fact that certain Nigerian are fraudulent that does not make all Nigerian to be. So don't assume all Nigerians are fraudulent.
I don't have anything to hide I use MY real name and real address> mind you we also have a sister company that is into solar energy you can look for ashdam solar Nigeria located at our Alpha Photos limited University of Ibadan branch.
So please clear your fear. I am only here to set things right and help in a way I can to bring fraudulent Nigerians to book |

Please don't use that old chestnut about all Nigerians not being scammers, I and the members of this forum are well aware that not all Nigerians are scammers, we have in the past had a moderator who was Nigerian, we also have some great members who are from Nigeria, we have no problem with Nigeria or it's people, it is the most populous country in Africa, and only a small minority are scammers who give the country a bad name, we are only interested in the scammers who reside there, not the honest Nigerian people who work hard for their money rather than scamming it through 419 fraud!
I am just intrigued why you say the volume of Stakgroup is US$2.5 million - US$5 million, when clearly it is not, if you were making that sort of money, you would not be selling photographs for $30 per hour.
You yourself say you have only closed 2 deals since 2005, did you make US$2.5 million - US$5 million from those 2 deals alone, I think not? If not, then you are misrepresenting what you company profile says, which, whether you like it or not, is a lie! |

I understand your concern and from the angle you are viewing the annual income on alibaba. Mind you the profile has been open for a long time and at that time picked the least of all the category of incomes. What is the problem of making $30 from what I love doing what I was born into that price was for a certain biding and you don't expect to have 100% accuracy of my true value on the net.
Please tell me what you are insinuating, That I am a Photographer which I was born into or that I have certain other venture which I am making money from? Tell me where you are going. That I lied with a purpose. have you not meet certain obstacle on the web registration whereby certain information that match you is not included on the registration page?
So what is your point sir? cause I seem not to understand you. I told u if u need any real information mail me to [email protected] I will give it to u. I am real and I am just here to clear the air about our Branch office building that is being used. |
