World Wide Speed Post reviews and complaints

same just happened to me...same emails as well...

I received the same thing and was very uneasy about the whole thing!
Emails I received were from:
Mary Morgan csemary932@gmail.com
Soulmate soulmate2736@gmail.com

Be very careful! They reply fast and sounds too good to be true...

I am in Ohio and have the exact same thing happening with 5 different people or emails...same address as you all...and the exact same language in the emails! SCAM!

Why would you fall for something like that. People who basic get what they deserve for being that stupid, I WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING UNTIL THE MONEY IS IN MY PAYPAL ACCOUNT PERIOD! Because of people stupidly being scammed like that everyone else has to suffer and go by ridiculous selling rules!

Just got the same address and smelt fishy so i googled it, sure enough... I told i already sold it for CASH

I too recieved the same thing..I had listed an item on craigslist...and got the same run around too about her being disabled that she couldnt come look at the item but to send more pictures and that she was buying the item for her daughter...but I caught on before being asked to send money and wanting my email address and all...make sure that you trust your gut instinct if it doesnt feel or look right dont go through with any of it...

Hello,

World Wide Speed Post is Real...It, s Only Some ###ing Scammers that are using the name for BAD/ONLINE TRANSACTION

i too got an email exactly the same i like the codition more pik no doubt ima buy this vehical i posted on craigslist and kijiji saying they needed the 1000 western unioned to a shipping company then recieved another email from a chris farris but had the same shippers address

2015 and the same scam is still going. Just got this from a Kijiji ad I posted:

First e-mail was from pinkyprincess137@hotmail.com

Then a follow up from Maria Denisa

I'm okay with the price and condition of the item and i'm ready to
purchase it, kindly get back to me with the pick up address and your
paypal email for the payment, i will be arranging the pick up myself
through my shipping company.

Same scam here coming from two different e-mail addresses for a listed item on kijiji:
Pinkyprincess001@hotmail.com and the m.denisa@001l@googlemail.com

I'm okay with the price and condition of the item and i'm ready to
purchase it, kindly get back to me with the pick up address and your
paypal email for the payment, i will be arranging the pick up myself
through my shipping company.

I had these people e-mail me 5 times for one listing. The e-mail accounts are as follows, there's four different e-mails, one I got twice.

Rose Mary - rosemary664@googlemail.com
Maria Denisa - mariadenisa3@googlemail.com
wswillsmart@googlemail.com (I don't have a name for this one)
Carrie M - michm187-a@yahoo.com

I've also gotten e-mails like these from Mandy LaRose, and Desmond Joe about different stuff if I remember correctly although I don't remember their e-mails.

The same has just occurred to us after posting some items for sale on Kijiji and Craig's list. This is the email sent to us from the following emai address: Service@paypal.com®"

It is now Jan 4, 2011. Over Christmas, my wife and I received duplicates of all the above emails related to a kitchen table we are selling on Craigslist - From Mandy Larose, from Richard Wilson at PayPal and from world wide speed post. Asked this morning for us to Western Union $250 for shipping to Charles Perkins in Baltimore. PayPal would then release the purchase price plus the $250! Sheesh! Reported them to PayPal, Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre and local police

BEWARE OF THIS SCAM!

Hi there,
The exact same thing has just happened to me. A Mandy LaRose from Baltimore claiming interest in purchasing my bike, this person made a big mistake though and accidentally said that they had transfered $1700 into my pa pal account for this item, when I was only asking $1000. The e-mails were very strange right from the get go with poor grammer and bad broken english. The last e-mail I received was this morning saying that $2650 had been deposited to my paypal account but before this transaction could be approved I would need to go to Western Union to transfer $900 to the shipping company prior to pick up. The remaining $1700 would be for the item and the other $50 for the Western Union processing fee. Luckily as soon as they wanted me to pay this $900 upfront a huge red flag went off...and then I dug a little bit deeper and have now found all of this!

Here are a couple of the e-mails I received from this person:

Here is an example of the letter that was sent to me from "PAYPAL" this is a scam, so everyone out there be careful.

We have received an order from one of our customer to make an instant payment of $2, 680.00USD to your PayPal account. The payment has been made successfully and the money has been credited to your PayPal account but you will not have access to it. However, since this money is meant for a purchase or a service that involve a Shipping Company.We have to receive a confirmation that you have sent the pick up cost to Good Speed Express Mail before the money will be available for spending. This is due to the large increase in the rate of the online scams recorded last year (2009). We have changed some of our rules and regulation to make sure our clients, are safe from scam, PayPal in conjunction with The FBI and The IFCC has invented certain preventive measure to ensure the safety of our customers.

Such measure are:

1. Once a payment is made, A confirmation Email will be sent to the seller that the payment has been made to state the transaction details which has been sent to you. Also a confirmation is sent to the buyer that the money has been deducted from his or her account. So once you get this mail, You should take necessary action and get back to us with the confirmation that you have sent the pick up cost to the shipping company. Once we have confirmed the information provided with the shipping company, the money will be available instantly.

2. Once a payment is made and it has been approved by PayPal, such transaction is Sealed (because both seller and buyer must have come to a conclusion before payment is made by the buyer) so therefore neither the buyer or seller can cancel this transaction or ask for the returned to the buyer's account. Also, this is where we generate our income, because the more transaction made through PayPal, the more we generate our Income.

3. Failure to abide by these laid down safety measures by PayPal may leads to suspension from PayPal and further more invitation to an interrogation with the F.B.I

So can you see we are very considerate about the safety of both buyer and seller.

Note: that the pick up cost has been included in the payment.

Thank you for using PayPal!

The same thing happened to me look at the lady's email - Hello, I will be happy to buy it but i will not be able to come and view it in your place because I'm not at home for now. Note that you will not be responsible for shipping and handling and the payment will be made through PayPal. My shipping company will come to your location for the pick up. Kindly provide me with the address where it will be picked up so that i can forward it to the shipping company to calculate the cost of pick up for me. Do get back to me as soon as possible so that i can proceed with the payment via PayPa, if you don't have paypal account before kindly visit this site www.paypal.com/us it's easy and reliable
Thanks

I told her it was unable to drive because the rear brake is seized but she just replied with okay great whats the address I'm waiting on you.. And then world wide speed post emails me trying to confirm.

Thanks everyone for your posts, thanks to this website finally I could confirm that this "company" is a scam.
I was selling a fridge and a guy named Juan Marcy with email jmarcy55@yahoo.com wrote me to tell me that he was interested, he told me that he is a petroleum engineer and he was in brazil for the next 13 weeks and that he wanted to buy it for his daughter.
He wanted to pay me by paypal, I told him I didn´t have an account and he invited me to open one because it is a very secure way to do a transaction. I did it and after I gave him my email of my paypal account he sent me an e-mail saying that he contacted the shipping company and it would cost 2, 000. That seemed to weird for me, if his daughter lives in Guadalajara (Mexico, where I´m from) why is he contacting a foreigner company? and if his daughter lives somewhere in the United States why is he buying something in Mexico? With the price of my fridge and the shipping cost he could buy a new fridge in his country.
Well i did a research and found this...
The "shipping company" contacted me from info@auto-transportshipping.com and wrote me this (I hope you understand spanish):
Querido Marce Lita,

Queremos utilizar este medio para confirmarles que vamos a ser responsables de la recogida de la (Mercancias). Nos gustaría que a bien confirmarme su dirección en que el (Mercancias) será recogido. A continuación se muestra la dirección que nos ha dado Neolia Evans:

Dirección: Guadalajara, MEXICO.
Sin embargo, nos gustaría saber si la dirección es correcta y exacta, ya tenemos el cálculo de larecogida y gastos de envío, que es de $2, 000.00
Para más información, por favor responda a este mensaje con cualquier pregunta que pueda tener.

Gracias,

Lisa Xavier.

I was contacted by a "Cicilia Wright" regarding a dresser that I had for sale via Craigslist. This inquiry followed the same scheme as above; they want your address and a "shipping company" will contact you to arrange pick up. Whe I asked for a phone number to discuss details, I recieved the same response that everyone else has recieved "payment would be made via PayPal and pickup arrangements would be made via the shipping company". Obviously I was cautious and inquired where they were located. I was provided with "I live in Tom Berl, 50 Collingwood Dr., Rochester, NY 14621", which ironically enough is a real address in New York.

I discontinued conversations with this person after the additional research and flagged it as a scam. Don't fall prey and do your research; if you think it is a scam it probably is.

Wow thank you all for these posts I met a guy on here his name was Elvis Luther and he wanted to buy some of my paintings but I just felt it was not right. He said a lot of strange things to me that did not make sense like he had no access to a phone and he was not home right now. He wanted me to send it thru pay pal and give him my address. Yeah right ok buddy I don't know you and I'm going to do that not on a good day. This is terrible what they are trying to do to people. I guess I will have to find a new way to sell my paintings if anyone knows a different way let me know thank you all for your input and have a blessed day. :)

Some lady by the name of Jenny Scott mrkscott@gmail.com wrote the same emails as Anonymous1123 received from May 2012 post from April 8 - April12, 2013 when I was selling a item on Craigslist. Red flags popped up everywhere. She or He was trying to get me to send $450 to a fake shipping company while her "pmt was on hold" with Paypal and I would get the money back when Paypal release the funds. They never hold the funds. I had all the emails traced. I asked for her address and I would deliver it and she gave me 2455 Lexus Drive Colorado Springs CO They use a variation of the street numbers.Anytime you get an email from Paypal, THEY ALWAYS ADDRESS YOU BY YOUR NAME NOT YOUR EMAIL ADDY. THAT'S HOW YOU KNOW IF THEY PHISHING EMAILS. IF YOU HAVE GIVEN THEM YOUR EMAIL FOR YOUR PAYPAL, CHANGE YOUR PASSWORD ASAP!

I was contacted via text message for an item i was selling on craigslist. the buyer (scammer) insisted to pay for the item through paypal without seeing the item and without setting a date for pick up. the phone number used is as follow [protected]. The email adress used to attempt to buy the item was maryhudson06@gmail.com. the buyer (scammer) refused to call me to verify if they were a real person. once i confronted them about finding their email adress on complaintboard.com they told me to go f*ck myself. be aware of scammers.

I got the same kind of email. I bet it's the same company; I responded once and got this back. I'm going to discontinue communication. This post was very helpful! See the email I got below:

"Thanks for the prompt mail, i would have love to call you but due to my disability, i will not be able to do that. I live in Cumberland, RI. I will be paying you through PayPal but the payment will be made before the shipping company come for pick up at your location. I just need your address to get the actual pick up and delivery cost from the shipping company. Get back to me ASAP."

got the same mail...i got aleast 5 of these emails all from different names offering way more money than i asked and asking us to ship to usa or nigeria..by the way i was selling a phone for rs.14000 and they offered rs.20000

Thanks for the prompt mail, Rs14, 000 is a very fair price and I will be happy to buy it but i will not be able to come and view it in your place because i I live in Tom Berl, 50 Collingwood Dr., Rochester, NY 14621...and i would have loved to call but at the moment i am on the sea..i work on the rig and we are not allowed to make calls from herebut you can send me a text on +[protected] and i will reply when i get your text because i am not in the United State right now. I will be paying you through Online Banking Transfer.I want this to be sent to my daughter as a surprised gift for on her graduation day and she schools in West Africa...Nigeria to be precise...kindly get back to me with your payment details and i will be adding an extra Rs6, 000 to the money i will be sending you to serve as the shipping charges for the item... Get back to me ASAP with your bank details so that i can go ahead with the payment and i will like you to use DHL courier service for the shipping...waiting for your reply
Best Regard

I just got a text from someone in VA wanting to purchase my car (I'm in CA), sight unseen with no questions asked. They are asking for my paypal acct. He is saying his name is Cartiar Moore at [protected]

got same kind of email for stuff that I was selling on gumtree.com.au - Australia
What triggered to me was that person was buying stuff from AU and shipping it to UK at a cost of $550 shipping and then I needed to go to WesternUnion and pay up -like I'd do that...
However just to keep them interested I sent an email saying I'm happy to pay but don't have that kind of money on me..waiting to see what they comeup with now! :-)

Local sales - rely on cash on pickup
Ebay or other reputed sites - rely on paypal but makesure you have the money on your account and most importantly don't click someone elses email to get to PAYPAL..type your own.
