I recently bid for a Sony Vaio laptop on eBay, and was contacted by another eBay user ladybess39 offering to sell me the exact same model laptop if I sent him the money through Western Union, to be collected by a "friend" of his in Madrid Spain.

I tried to explain to him that I need a safe method of payment and he started giving me all this "I'm an honorable man...please trust me". I realized it was a ripoff when I asked him if he could sell me 5 laptops and if he could give me a volume discount. He offered to sell me 5 laptops for $470 each, this for a laptop that normally retails for $1650.

He even said that he works for Sony.

The accomplice he is using in Madrid Spain is:

FLORIN ION GOGONCEA

CALLE VIA 32 B,5 APT.

MADRID, SPAIN

Don't send this guy money through Western Union since there are no guarantees and no way to get a refund. You will get ripped off guaranteed. There is no way anybody can sell a $1600 laptop for $470 or even $700 (his original price).

Check the communication I've had with this crook and see his mode of operation.

Hello again,

I know that C.O.D. (Cash on Delivery) or Escrow or

electonic payment such as PayPal, PayDirect,BillPoint,etc are the best but the birocracy in my country makes those services very bad and will take too long time to pick up the funds. I have heard form a friend that

used UPS C.O.D. and Tradenable (Escrow service) and he

was able to pick up the funds in 2 weeks. Using a

Credit Card or an online payment service is not availeble in my country (to make sure of that please

visit www.westernunion.com and you will see that

you cannot make an onlie transaction). Using an wire transfer such as Western Union or Money Gram for payment and UPS 2 days air insured or FedEx 2 days air insured or DHL are the fastest ways to send money worldwide and receive packages from any corner of the world.

Thank you for understanding me.

Regards.

Hi Denie:

I checked into escrow services and there is a company that will hold my payment to you until I have checked the merchandise and am happy with its operation.

Their web site is www.escrow.com. It costs me $42 for the service, which I will pay.

Are you still interested in doing business with me?

Thanks:

Dan

Hi Denie,

I have never sent money through Western Union and I have no idea how protected I am in the transaction. Can you explain what system is in place that can guarantee that I won't loose my money. I usually pay using a credit card through Paypal. Is that an option?
