This eBay seller phking2012 was selling products on eBay and in the description he says he has two I pad pro 256gb that he selling for price range $550-800 and needs to get rid of them fast. He says to contact him to make a deal at +1 (347) 796-6895. This number is a Textme app number. I know this because sometimes he does not answer and it goes to a textme voice mail. So first he wanted me to send the money using PayPal (PayPal.me/KCebay). But my card wasn’t working for some reason. Then he showed me some link to a donation site (https://imraising.tv/u/kcebay) but it my card didn’t work again. So he showed me some sites that I can put a amount into my account and send it like a gift card like (skrill.com, gyft.com) but my card wasn’t working for some reason still and he told me to take a screenshot on my phone of the problem to the email ([email protected]). Since everything did not work, he said we can do store method. Which I just had to buy a MasterCard gift card and just email the info to ([email protected]). So I did that and he verify the gift card and said the iPad’s were on the way by ups and gave me this tracking number 1Z 195 813 70 5796 383 0 which was a invaid tracking number. I told him and he said he called and said that it was a internal error. So he said he was going to send me another package through usps. I contacted him at 1pm Saturday asking about it and he says he will try to send a package that day. Next day Sunday he said that usps picked up the package yesterday morning. But I contacted him that Saturday at 1pm and he told me that he was gonna try to ship it. Also usps pick up needs to be scheduled 1 day before pick up. So I tried to get a tracking number from him and he starts lying send me random text saying he is being spammed. I tried calling him but he does not pick up.
