Hi,
I am not sure if this is a scam and would appreciate advice on how to protect myself to the best of my abilities.
The business parternership that I get into inherently puts me in a difficult position, and requires a leap of faith on my part that I am not getting scammed.
Here goes, someone wants to use my ebay account/ paypal account/ bank information/ credit cards all attached to the accounts.
They want to sell their products using my high seller rating account. They state that I have to do nothing and will get a certain percentage of the profits which to me is not enormous nor is it meager. Its believable.
They have given me links to a few other accounts on ebay where they are selling the same products all over and the store designs on all the accounts are the same and the products are the same. They have good feedback on the accounts from the buyers.
I am at a position where I would like residual income on a monthly basis and I don't have a lot of money in my account that is linked to the paypal/ebay. I can also withdraw some funds.
I will have to give this person my driver's license copy, access to ebay, access to paypal, leaving the credit card and bank account attached.
I don't have a high credit rating and know that my credit card doesn't allow a lot to be withdrawn from it.
We are doing this on a local basis, we will meet in person to sign a document stating all terms of me being a simple consultant not that actual company doing the selling.
Please give me insight into what hurdles I may face if I pursue this venture. I am for one not rich at all, don't have a lot of money and so see myself as not loosing much in terms of money from my bank account/credit cards.
Has anyone come across such frauds?
