Scam Description
E-Bay Scam. PayPal scam on done deal.
It sounds like you encountered a double whammy with Svitlana Kryshchak attempting an eBay and DoneDeal scam. These online marketplaces are breeding grounds for scammers, so don't feel bad. Here's what you can do:
Report Svitlana Kryshchak: First and foremost, report Svitlana Kryshchak to both eBay and DoneDeal. They have clear procedures for reporting fraudulent activity. Include details of your interaction with Svitlana, any emails, and screenshots as evidence.
Dispute the Payment (if applicable): If you already paid through PayPal for a nonexistent item, immediately file a dispute. Explain the situation and provide any evidence you have (emails, communication with the seller). PayPal usually favors buyers in these cases.
Never Pay Outside the Platform: A common tactic is for scammers to pressure you to complete the transaction outside of eBay or DoneDeal, often through friends and family payments on PayPal. Never do this, as it removes buyer protection features.
Be Wary of Offers Too Good to Be True: If a deal seems unbelievably good, it probably is. Research typical prices for the item in question before committing.
Use Secure Payment Methods: Stick to the built-in payment systems on eBay and DoneDeal. Avoid using personal payment methods like bank transfers or money wires.
Communicate Through the Platform: All communication regarding a purchase should happen within the platform's messaging system. This creates a record for reference and dispute resolution.
If you have any information about Svitlana Kryshchak's profile on these platforms, here's a unique tip to help you spot red flags in the future:
Use CredCheck to Analyze Seller Profiles: Consider using a service like ScamCheckup's CredCheck tool ([https://scamcheckup.com/credcheck/]) While CredCheck can't access private information on marketplaces, it can be helpful for analyzing publicly available details on seller profiles.
Here's how it can help:
- Reverse Image Search Profile Pictures: Upload a screenshot of the seller's profile picture. CredCheck can perform a reverse image search to see if the same picture appears on other profiles or stock photo websites. Scammers often steal profile pictures.
- Check for Text Similarities: Copy and paste text from the seller's profile description or listing. CredCheck can scan for similarities on other scam reports to identify potential red flags.
By using CredCheck along with the safety measures provided by eBay and DoneDeal, you can be more confident when buying online. Remember, a little caution can save you a lot of hassle (and money) down the road.
