He told me that his bank will contact me for bank to bank transaction for safety of both o[censored]s.
The bank was chase bank.
And the email id was [protected]@chasebanktransfers.com
It looked very genuine which it was not
And it asked me to send the scanned copy of the shipping receipt from the courier partner.
I did that, he told me that tell the value of the product as 10000 as it will be easier for them to clear the customs with less duty. I asked for his whats app and id proof which he sent me.
The courier said the batteries should be totally discharged to be shipped but they were full so i asked the man if it was okay if i ship it without the batteries
I was surprised how easily he agreed over it. So
I sent him and the bank everything and the bank replied me thay it will not transfer the fund until they don't confirm it from dhl's website.
I was waiting for it to get active and receive my money
So while doing so i just casually googled the email address and i was really shocked to see pages and pages regarding the fraud of that bank on quikr and olx
They fool indians with fake bank disguise to which we have no way to contact!
I immediately cancelled the shipment and picked back my camera from dtdc.

He told his name as
John stone

His whatsapp number
