So, looks like I got a dilemma once again because of buyers and uncertainty.

I have a feeling this is a scam, but does Die Post allow cash on delivery? A buyer or ‘a seemingly’ buyer, wants to pay for shipping and the PC I’m trying to sell with Die Post.

Courier service or so.[https://i.imgur.com/I7hCU8q.jpg](https://i.imgur.com/I7hCU8q.jpg)

I have a feeling it isn’t legit since I checked Die Post website.

EDIT: So looks like I don’t need to check the Post but rather the details, [Caution: Fraud in the name of Swiss Post | Polizei-Schweiz.ch](https://www.polizei-schweiz.ch/vorsicht-betrugsmasche-im-namen-der-schweizer-post/)

  1. This is most definitely a scam. The screenshot they’ve sent you seems to be faked as it contains a lot of spelling mistakes.

  2. Scam.

    ​

    Money in advance via Twint or Cash. Do not send your product without recieving the cash before.

    He wants something from you, he should cover the risks.

  4. If you can be bothered, you can waste a few hours of the scammers time, back and forward, stringing them along etc etc..

    1. The post (or UPS or Fedex etc) will never actually come, generally with these scams you don’t actually lose your goods. Normally the buyer will offer a bit more to cover costs and *admin*
    2. If you agree to go ahead they ask for your email address (key pont) and other personal details.
    3. You will next receive an email (not really) from Die Post saying that they have a payment / cheque / cash for you and some bogus tracking details.
    4. Probably another email will come soon after from (bogus) Die Post saying that there’s an admin fee to deliver your cash. But don’t worry that admin fee was added to the buyer cost – you get it back on (bogus) delivery of the cash package.

    Et voila – that’s the scam – you pay an admin fee to get you bogus payment delivered. The payment of course never comes, you’ve had your payment details and personal info harvested. But at least you still have your goods.

    There are various variations, some send you two factor authentication SMS etc.. But basically it’s all about getting your card details.
