So I may have potentially been scammed on Kijiji…
I had posted an ad for a wanted figure. The next day someone from Nova Scotia (I’m in Ontario) responds and sends a photo saying they have one for sale. Just to be safe I ask them to take a picture of the figure with a piece of paper with the date on it. They do this. However, looking at the photo they sent again, the photo kinda looks photoshopped?
Anyway the person is very responsive, everything seems normal. We agreed on a price and then I e-transfer them the money and give them my mailing details. I ask them to let me know when they ship it out and they agree.
A couple days go by and they haven’t let me know anything so I ask them when they were planning on shipping it out. They tell me “today” (this was on Sunday the 26th). I say cool. The end of the day rolls around and they haven’t told me they shipped it. So on Monday I ask for the tracking number if they in fact shipped it on Sunday like they said they would. No response. This morning I message again and 9 hours later, still no response. I emailed the email address they gave me for e-transfer and still no response there either.
If I don’t hear anything by tomorrow I will more than likely treat this as a scam. Anyone else ever deal with something like this? And what would be my best course of action for getting my money back?
Thank you in advance.
