《我遇到了國際詐騙?》
我在某個拍賣網站上,除了賣我自己專利的商品外,也把一支中古的長笛擺在網站上賣。
今天早上我收到一位買家對長笛這商品留言,很特別的是還烙英文,留言是:『Hello,How much is your Last price for this item in NT$? Kindly reply back to my email kaka @gmailcom Thank You Smith.』。二個多小時後我就在拍賣網站上回覆了對方價格是新台幣3200元,同時也應對方要求用e-mail回信到他所留的信箱,我的答覆中也是相同的價格。
中午的時候,我就收到一位Smith先生的回信,這封信落落長,原文照抄如下(我故意遮掉名字、電話和門牌號碼以及信箱地址,避免有心人找我麻煩):

這封信簡單的說,是一位在加拿大的Smith先生,想要用新台幣6000元向我購買那支長笛,送給他在奈及利亞求學的兒子做為生日禮物,長笛需寄送到奈及利亞,請我提供收款的銀行帳號等資料。信裡藏有很多迷湯,迷湯一是他愛他的兒子,迷湯二是他認為台灣人可愛且可信,迷湯三是他要用新台幣6000元向我購買那支標價3200元的長笛(最大的迷湯)。
二個小時後我回信給那位Smith先生,大意是說很抱歉,我的商品只能運送到台灣本地。
我回完信後,馬上搜尋了網路,發現很多跟奈及利亞相關詐騙的手法。約二年前有一詐騙事件,內容和我這次幾乎雷同,連他兒子的地址也在同一條街上,只差名字以及那父親所在地點不一樣而已。對於類似這種拍賣網站他們所使用詐騙的方式,就是當你同意交易後,接下來他會寄一個假的匯款證明給你,然後再以各種理由威脅你在確認帳戶收到匯款金額前,寄出你的拍賣商品。若是你的商品寄出去了,那就上當被騙了。
這個世代邪惡,不僅國內詐騙事件層出不窮,現在連國際詐騙也找向我。但是很可惜,他們找我,是找錯對象了!
遇到詐騙集團時若想不受騙,第一是要不貪心,第二是不要輕信對方灌的迷湯,第三是不要輕信對方的恐嚇或威脅,第四是要冷靜、不要慌亂。若能如此,安全脫身的機率就大多了。
