Cheap Graphics Card scam on Shopee Malaysia by Nigerian scammers.

sorry about recording my computer monitor. I don't know how to use/edit screen capture.

Please be extra cautious when buying VERY VERY VERY cheap items online.
Other than graphics card, these may also be PS5, big screen TVs, iPhones/iPads, etc.

Tks bro..been wondering myself is this shopee cheap gpu for real or wat..

[rawjusticeman]

Thank you very much for your advice !. I was also shopping for graphic card until I started noticing all these cheap deals and buy 2 free 1 thing and I started to get suspicious. I googled graphic card scam on shopee and come across your video. Yes, all these scammers only have less than 2 months from date of joining shopee, all put their whatsapp no there and same writing and advertising style. Once again tQVM for highlighting all these scams. Wonder whether can report these scammers to shopee to flush them out or ban them ?

These scamming will not end. It is also happening in Singapore as of now, Shopee. They will provide same day delivery and dealing outside Shopee payment method.
They will list a lot of other items at very unbelievable prices and are very insistent to have you make payment to them directly. Try calling their number listed on normal line not on WhatsApp. They will not answer to you or there is no ring tone or they will send you a message saying their staff are deaf and can only read messages. Please do not fall for their trap.

That's true; I got 3 scammers in my WhatsApp list to whom I tried to contact them asking if it's real and how much they will charge ship to Australia, and because I don't do business like this, I involve PayPal with me. However, as soon I say Paypal or TazaPay, they go nuts and start, "ho no no sir, we are 100% legit, and you will get the invoice once your payment is completed directly to our bank" and not willing to share any details such as company name, where is the stock at?

you will always or most of the time you will see this reply: "but we are currently under renovation now, and we are not much open to allow visitors, postage only." so now I'm doing some fun with them and advise for whoever is reading this to do following things if your eyes are stuck with those shiny cheap prices on GPU



1. Always check the shop ratings
2. if the description is saying buy 2 and get 1 free (ya sure like you make the GPU's in your home and you don't place to put and you are giving it for free)
3. if you find Brand New GPU << lesser than the vendor release price, don't bother looking further and move on.
4. let's say if you have messaged them on WhatsApp first thing first, say that you will make the payment via PayPal and no direct payments, and let's say if the seller agreed dont get fool if you want to try them out, send money as Good and service and never send them money as "Friend or Family."
5. Ask where is their warehouse or stocks
6. Ask for company info



One of the seller went too far and gave me a fake Airwaybill and edited on Ms Paint! Lolz and provided me fake shipment company website which never exists, and he thinks that I'm a dumb user excited to buy GPU and will not do this level of investigation. So I checked their NS and shipping company NS, and they both are hosted on the same server, and their last domain update was the same DateTime...



I will create a video on my experience and what level of investigation I did to find them out!. But thank you,
