Warning to those who frequent the buy/sell/trade section.
DO NOT ACCEPT EMAIL TRANSFERS FROM PEOPLE YOU DO NOT KNOW.
even if a buyer wishes to meet up to complete the transaction after paying first by EMT.
Bank accounts are being compromised. There has been a huge rise in EMT fraud in Canada the last few months. Not sure about the US, but I'm sure it could happen anywhere.
Fraudulent buyers are using stolen information to pay for items using EMT's. Items are usually picked up, sometimes shipping is requested. Anyways, the legitimate account holder's bank will freeze the amount of money transferred, and request that the receiver of the EMT's bank account be frozen as well. YOU WILL LOSE ACCESS TO YOUR MONEY IMMEDIATELY until an investigation is completed. I've read the "I got scammed" threads and you guys are really bad at gathering necessary information before you proceed with transactions.
This is more serious than the usual non-paying, or non-sending scam. FBI and RCMP are involved in bank fraud. Plus your bank will be extremely hesitant about protecting you and your bank account. You will basically be alone in your fight to defend yourself.
DO NOT ACCEPT EMT's (certapay) from people you do not know!!!
