People get scammed through Mudah.com.my

I received an email from someone who wrote to me personally. I cannot verify if this is indeed true. But no harm sharing it, just in case there are others who fall into the same scam.

Hi Ms. Lilian,

I just want to share my experience with you.
Recently I posted to sell my laptop on mudah.com.my.
I got a feedback very quick from a lady who said she is from Canada.
She wants me to deliver the laptop to her mom in Nigeria.
Then I received an email from a bank Royal Bank of Canada confirming her
transaction.
But I need to ship to her the item before the bank can release the payment to
me.
The bank is real and reputable.
But this is a SCAM, the bank email is r.b.c_wiretransfer@financier.com
she even asked me to pay the custom duty which I did paid half of it after
negotiating through Western Union to Nigeria.
She gave me an University address to her mom which is a lecturer Dr.
I felt cheated as I did not check the bank email or contact to bank personally
to confirm.
Many scams from Nigeria is using financier.com email to scam people.
I hope you can share this with other people as a precaution.
Thank you very much.

Aha, next time whenever someone mention the name Nigeria, please run the other direction. However, I hope Sam has brought this matter to Mudah.com.my administration as well. I never buy or sell anything online, do not even have an eBay account so I know nothing about being scammed. Maybe ignorance is bliss after all.

    Guess what? I just got scammed yesterday by someone living in Malaysia who wants me to send my camera to Nigeria. Must be this same bastard who did this to you. He/She sounded like a Muslim because the 1st thing he/she said was “salam” which is kinda like “Hi” in arabic. I gave him my bank account number & my full name to bank in his money. He said he’s already banked in the money in my bank account. I haven’t checked yet but I got an email saying that the money has been transferred using Barclays Banking. Instantly I KNEW I got scammed. I hope he/she hasn’t done anything to my bank account. Good thing is, I only have RM5 left in my bank but still… I immediately checked online about this Barclays Banking & it looked like it is legit however, their website seemed a little empty & I’ve never heard anyone using it before. This fella must be caught!!!!
