SO here it is i hope i gave enough information, thx in advance!

It is a scam.

[email protected] <<< is not the real banks email address. This email address is a free email address like yahoo, gmail and hotmail.

The writing is of an African and notice how the fake buyer never mentions the dress. Instead he say's "item" this is because he uses the same script with every potential victim.

Please sell your dress face to face and accept cash. Sell at a busy public place.


The scammer is trying to steal the dress. No money has been sent. You received a spoofed/fake bank email. Banks do not act as an escrow.

2. Once shipment has been verified, the money will be delivered to the seller's bank account information given to us by you and hence from now on ,You did not have any control on the money paid by you to the seller as we are the one to handle everything yours is to receive your item, we are using this policy to protect both the seller and buyer from internet fraud.

Thank you Byron, the word "dress" is only used in the fake e-mail from the bank.!


these types of scam are still rare in finland, it was nicely executed,so i have a bad feeling nigerians are going to succeed here in finland with these scams :S i was thinking of sending a piece of shit to the guy, just to give him a lesson.
Anyways Thanks for fast response!

In most countries its illegal to send feces by mail.

Use this advice for fake bank payments and Paypal.

The scammer sent you fake Paypal payment. He has a fake Paypal address from a free email provider. The payment would look real. Its a screen shot of a fake payment. Depending on what you were selling he would either try to steal your money or property. If it was a vehicle or large item, he would pretend to make an overpayment. He then will instruct you to pay a mover, shipper or agent. The fake Paypal email from the scammer would say that your Paypal funds will be released when you send the scammer (mover,agent or shipper) money via Western Union or Money Gram. In reality Paypal would never hold your funds.

Log into Paypal directly without any links to check for monies received or call Paypal directly from the number on their site.

If you are selling electronics, Cell phones or computers then the scammer is trying to steal your "item". Your fake funds will be released when you send the scammer a scan copy of a receipt showing you mailed your item.

This same scam works with fake check and money orders. You and your bank will think they are real. After you cash the fake check. Days or weeks later your bank will inform you of the fraud. Your bank will have you repay the monies. Possibly close your account for fraud and report you to Law Enforcement.

Hey good people,

I don't want to upset you ....you must understand that anthill now I didn't make transactions with the bank true moneygram....I make transactions from bank to another bank . I will send you an email tomorrow after I speck to my bank.

I'm sorry that you are a victim of this scammer. Please edit your post to remove your name/email, though.

DO NOT SEND ANY MONEY and cease all contact with the scammer. The bank is fake, there is no account with money waiting for you - it is all fake. File appropriate reports with your police.

How did you ship the dress? You may be able to have the shipment recalled depending on the carrier and location it is right now.

I'm from Germany and I tried to stop the shipment but I can't do anymore.

This is the email from bank...I received this mail now

That email is not from TD Bank, it is the scammer - make sure you file all appropriate police reports, and report to EC3 which handles internet crime in Europe: https://www.europol.europa.eu/content/r ... ime-online

If i go to the police how can they help me? the dress is not enny more in germany...can the german police stop the shipment?

The odds of getting the dress back are slim to none, and I'm sorry for that. The reason it's important to make the reports is to document the scam with the authorities. The more reports they receive, the more information they can collect and hopefully if enough people report it, they will investigate it.
