Buying GPU at Timeless Trade, aka. lucky.4leafclover possible scam?
Good day ShopeePH Shoppers!
I went to ShopeePH to look for my recent upgrade with my current setup and finding better deals since i was building my dream PC. I saw the best deal yet, A latest RTX 4090 GPU at the lowest price ever.
Well, of course, that's just a scam we see everyday and so knowing that it was a scam in broad daylight. I decided to still check it out and find out for myself. What happened next is when i was about to order. I had to triple check everything and sent a message directly to the seller: Timeless Trade
Timeless Trade aka lucky.4leafclover
I did my diligence and asked the seller regarding what terms of payment and everything. They keep on saying "SE Waybill" method of some sort. I am unfamiliar with such things so did a bit of research and found that this was the scammers tactics to lure unaware shoppers.
I am here asking for the people's awareness whether i am wrong here or not because everyone has to make a living and yet i despise using scam as a flimsy way of earning a living.
They even sent screenshots that shows proof of customer's reviews which i still don't buy.
Their so-called proof samples:
There's even an actual date written on the send & pick-up date
There's what they also call a product run for 7 days
They also offer "7 day product run" before payment thru 7/11 or GCash to reel in customers which totally the reason why it never crossed my mind to order from this store. I personally doubt that anyone who owns cards such as these and entrust them to some anonymous shopper is just hardcore for me.
SE Waybill requested at Seller's Panel of Shopee PH?
E-wallets are under Shopee. The SE Process are only available thru 7Eleven. Well-played!
I am posting here to ask your thoughts here. I want to remind that these scams are still out there and there are others who are easily misled by such tactics. I am here to help those who would be potentially scammed by such sellers.
And i also want to be fair, if it turns out it wasn't a scam and it's just me jumping to conclusions. Then we can support this seller (if it were true). Everyone's thoughts are appreciated here.
Safe shopping everyone!
