So what's the scam? A little more detail might better help prevent him from scamming others. He can always change his name, less likely to change the MO. Personally I would never purchase something that expensive unless it were from a reputable online dealer or if I could see it first. Don't trust anyone on the internet, is my first rule!tanyuenmei wrote:Hi all, please beware of scam artists on most of singapore's online buying and selling sites including this one. Silly me... I just got scammed!!!
They advertise mostly on Stokke Xplory strollers, orbit G2 strollers, and many others. Goes by the names Tom Anderson, aka Simone Ruscitti, and many others.. Pictures all same and phone numbers all overseas.
If you go looking into the postings right now..search orbit stroller and it will pop up, he dominates 6out of the 7postings. Please beware.. He sells brand new complete sets strollers at a discount. I found him or them on all of singapore's online sites.
Please take care!
You still haven't answered poodle's question. What's the scam? Bait-and-switch? Sends inferior products instead of the promised brand new ones? Ridiculously delayed shipment? Purchase never arrives?tanyuenmei wrote:He places ads for brand new strollers. Price ranges from really cheap to almost the same as retail with a little discount. His items are always quoted in USD or Euros. His items are all new full complete sets. He loves posting for Orbit G2 & Stokke Xplory strollers. If you google orbit stroller Singapore, his ads dominates the website for it. If you study it enough, you will soon realise its a syndicate doing this. They dominate all of singapore's online sites. Oh, and always international delivery to your doorstep.
Yes..your rule is smart. Best, cash on delivery. I wasn't thinking straight

How utterly charming!tanyuenmei wrote: You guys are probably the ones doing the scamming and now the bashing... God be with you all... Lol...
Jeez, I'm only doing the favour for the forum members to ask for the details on the MO of the scammer so that they can recognise it.tanyuenmei wrote:Hey guys...gals... I am just trying to be nice here and help others out there not get scammed like I did. Not fair to slam me on it! Are you one of "them"???? Just wanted to let the word out there to beware of this going on when browsing! I am a Victim remember? Sheesssss... Last time I be nice and post up!
Money paid up but no goods ever...ever...ever.. Delivered! Only emails and calls asking for more money... And more money... Stating customs issues... All BS.. When I refused to give more money, he became uncontactable!
Doesn't pay to be nice nowadays.. Sheeessss! Maybe you are HIM! Or THEM! Someone up there is watching if you are them... Like the saying... Every dog will have their day... Stop scamming people of their hard earned money!
It is alright. At least we all are clear about it now. Handshake?tanyuenmei wrote:Hi, sorry about that.. Lol.. I am in a fight mode.. Wait till I get hold of this guy or guys... Sheeesss! But tks for digging the fight mode outta me! Lol...
Anyways, I just Wana to give a heads up out there.. So everyone can be a little more cautious at the back of their minds when shopping... Cause everything is bought online now... And at times these people's pricings aren't too great of a deal to think of it as a scam. And it might be a bogus company they have up...
