I ALMOST GOT SCAMMED RM1400!!!!!!!!!

Hi internet!

Today I am sharing about something serious and I hope everyone is aware of this type of scamming pattern that nearly got myself lost my preloved Nikon Camera.

I wanted to sell my preloved Nikon V1 Camera (the photo above) at www.Mudah.my because I am having a new Canon G7X Mark II as my Christmas Gift last month. So yeah I proceed to take a photo of my Camera Condition and upload it on the www.mudah.my and within a day, there are several buyers contacted me and wanted to get as it was a really good deal. I always thought that COD (Cash on Delivery) will be good for sellers and buyers especially some expensive goods.


DRAMA STARTS HERE

There is a buyer responded quickly and said that she wants to get it from me but she is currently working at Canada, she wanted to get this Camera for his cousin. This sound nothing wrong from me at the first place, then she said she will bank in for me and ask me to post it to his cousin that stay in Terengganu. And again, still sounds legit so yeah you can look at our conversation below.

Okay, then I checked my email and guess what I found?
