Triangle eBay scam..

[rsutoratosu]

So I won an auction, the hp computer shipped and its in my house. Now this russian wants a money order for the amount. Red flag, its western union money order.. how long till the feds knock on my door?

It shipped directly from HP, i'm assuming its someone's credit card he stole.. should I call hp and ask who paid for it or get it returned or wait for the feds to show up?

I would contact your local authorities.

Keep it. It's eBay's fault, not yours.

 

[nick1985]

Bury it in your backyard for a few months and deny all involvement.
...
Profit

Why did he ship the product.. without you paying upfront?

P.S. I don't know how auctions work.. ignore if my question seems dumb.

 

[KaOTiK]

sounds like you got a free laptop

File an ebay claim.

Don't know if this will work, but call HP and ask for the person's name/number that paid for it, then call that person and ask if they know about the transaction.

The scammer bought the thing from HP's website with a stolen credit card and has it shipped to the OP. The OP is supposed to send the guy a money order and the scammer gets money and the only address on file is the OPs.

Um... use the payment method you agreed on using ebay and profit.

Is there billing information on the invoice?

I would contact the Police.

This reminds me of a scheme orchestrated by the Russian mob. They steal the credit cards, set up the deal on Ebay, and then once you send them your address and your money thereby becoming complicit in the racket, they blackmail you into committing further crimes on behalf of the organization.

If you don't send the money and decide to snitch they just come murder you and your family.

It's probably not that though...

I would just sit at home at wait for a Russian mafia hit squad to kill you.

 

[Powermoloch]

if you haven't paid one cent...return it back and report it.

You won a ebay auction and got the item you bid on without paying for it?
Who is this Russian that wants the money order, do you mean the seller?

While it's an entertaining story, your full of it, no one ships anything without getting paid first.

 

[zinfamous]

a Russian, you say?

unless some dude purchased it with a stolen credit card and sent it directly form the company?

Remember kids, ALL scams can be described by the word "triangle."

 

[1sikbITCH]

With a red flag and everything!

He already shipped without payment... Id say you either keep it and not tell anyone or contact hp, your choice.
