If you pay by Bank transfer for anything, just know your bank will laugh at you when you try to ask them for help when you inevitably get scammed.
Business = Bank Transfer = scam.
Short answer, no. Long answer, probably not. They won't usually compensate for your mistake with transfers. Sometimes it's possible to get the money back from the receiving end of a scam, but it's not to be expected.
> They won't compensate?
Not with a transfer, no. A transfer is a direct payment from one account to another account. This is opposed to when you pay with a credit card where there are several layers of payment processors involved.
With a card-based payment method, there are contracts on both ends of the transaction that spells out the fee structure and how an instance of fraud will be handled. Keep in mind, when you use a credit card the ability to "charge back" is not coming out of the bank's pocket, they have a contract with the merchant that allows them to take that money back. Often times merchants' contracts involve percentage-based holdback. I place I used to work for held back 10% for 10 days, that way they were always holding an average day's sales (proximity). So if there were a chargeback and we didn't pay, they could just take it out of the holdback.
That's the key here. A chargeback is NOT paid for by the bank. There are virtually zero circumstances where the bank pays out of pocket for basically anything.
With a bank transfer, it's almost impossible for them to reverse the transaction and recover the money. Since the bank doesn't pay out of it's own pocket, that means you don't get the money.
depends. i was wire transfer scammed once (i was a dumb kid, i know) and called my bank and got transferred to the fraud department and they were able to cancel the wire. generally speaking, a wire transfer or bank transfer is the same as giving someone cash. sure, you can report it to the authorities, but you are probably not getting your money back. so, while it is possible, usually you are SOL
this is why you should always pay for things with a credit card. that's the banks money, not yours. if you get scammed, they will be much more inclined to help.
I worked at a bank, wire transfers take up to 24 hours to take effect so that’s why they can be cancelled. Bank transfers however are immediate so that money would be gone the minute it hit their account.
No. A bank transfer should only be done with a reputable party or someone you trust. Once that money leaves, it no longer belongs to you.
Compensation is offered on debit purchases because your card has that little visa/Mastercard/Amex/whatever logo that gets a cut of every transaction… which is how they make profit and build cardholder confidence — through offering inherent purchaser protections on their cards.
An astute teller might warn you, but beyond that what business is it of the banks what anyone decides to do with their money - scam or otherwise?
A bank draft is basically same as cash with the exception that it will have a recipient like a cheque. Where a cheque and bank draft differ is that the funds are taken as soon as a draft is created. Sometimes, if a draft is lost and hasn't been redeemed in a long time - months, if not a year +, the issuing bank may be able to cancel the draft. But it takes quite a while iirc.
The Q6600 is such a good chip. Ran 3 GHZ OC like a champ for years. I only recently retired mine, but it still loves on in my dad's PC. Such a good little chip.
Yeah, report ASAP so Amazon can look into it and freeze them soon other will not fall victim. Holiday season is coming and there will be some parents/grandparents shopping for kids/grandkids. They might think it's normal and fall for it.
Yeah, I learned a long time ago that I should only purchase items sold and fulfilled by Amazon (and if it's a name brand item, only from their official store within Amazon).
I never had trouble returning items only once did the item I return came back they told me to ignore it I believe it was later destroy but still got my money back anyway my friend got a refund on a lost laptop that later on show up he was pretty happy on getting a free laptop.
Yeah, that's another reason I order stuff from Amazon. No hassle returns.
That being said, if you buy a product that's a lemon but doesn't break (or break your stuff, in the case of chargers) until a few months in, you're usually screwed.
THEY SHOULD HAVE THEIR INTERNET TURNED OFF AND THEY SHOULD BE FORCED TO STAND WITH THEIR NOSE IN THE CORNER OF THE ROOM FOR AT LEAST 30 MINUTES FOR THIS
SORRY I DON'T KNOW HOW MY GRANDSON IS SUPPOSED TO COME OVER AND SHOW ME BUT HE HAS BASEBALL PRACTICE. HE LIKES VIDEO GAME BUT HE'S STILL A GOOD KID.
DONALD
You have to talk to a human, using the report button just has ai review the account until a person looks at it. If you contact a human they can read the message and escalate it to the right team.
Oddly I ordered a laptop through this seller yesterday and had the exact same message. I’ve already reported and spoken to customer services rep about them and the listing seemed to have been taken down after I spoke to the customer services rep.
If OP does the same they might be more likely to take the seller account down.
Underrated comment here. We in this community usually have a healthy amount of skepticism, but this behavior needs to be reported to help deter them from targeting others. Yes, they probably have multiple accounts and can just switch or create a new one. But we do what we can by reporting this.
Edit -- well, the above comment is no longer underrated lol! It had only my upvote when I first saw it.
it absolutely is a scam
The trick is that they claim "this payment doesn't work send us money directly", so you don't have any protection from amazon, they send you nothing and you can't even get a refund because you wired the money directly to them.
on black market sites, this information is sold to others in large mass of peoples info in one neat package. People use this information in a variety of ways. credit card fraud, bank account theft, personal load fraud, social engineering scams.
For an example you may personally experienced, You know how you get scam callers on your phone??? your caller ID may show something like, "LIKELY SCAM" and some Indian woman answers talking about medicare and shit like that???
Well someone sold that information to those scam callers in mass, and they just go down the line and cast a wide net to see who bites.
Even some legit businesses sell your personal information, they even say so in the small print that you usually have to agree to, to use their service, if you actually care to read through all of that.
I have reported this seller and hope Amazon will actually do something about it🫠

With 5+ years selling on Amazon it looks like maybe the storefront got hacked and the hackers are redirecting legit customers with legit purchases from a legit seller to some wire transfer. Even if only one person pays it's still worth it since it barely takes any effort in a phishing attack to get a password to an Amazon seller account.
This happens on Newegg too. Ordered a 3070 for a scammy looking price and got a message from the seller a few days later saying their account got hacked and they didn't have that item at all. Didn't lose any $ since the order never processed, but the con is the same.
I searched the brand name and it showed they are in the Food and Health market. The seller is currently unavailable on amazon so I can't look further but definitely looks like what you're saying. People need to be more conscious about their online security. Something like this may kill a legit business on amazon.
They can literally remove negative feedback from their score. They just click a button and Amazon strikes it out and removes it from the calculation. It is easy to spot scam sellers if you look through their profile and see all negative feedback striked out. [Here](https://www.amazon.com/sp?ie=UTF8&seller=A27RNN6OR23NU5) is an example of a scam seller, if you go through the history you can see what I mean.
I don't know if they do it different in the UK. But demanding a bank transfer looks like a scam to me. You should report this to Amazon customer service
Absolute scam. Contact Amazon support immediately and report this. They will refund your original purchase payment. Never fall for these scams that want you to pay using methods other than Amazons own payment methods.
And be careful of ordering through 3rd party seller on Amazon. Always make sure Amazon is the one selling the product or at least the one shipping it.
I can no longer find this seller on Amazon. Only the bank details he sent me
Account holder: Marketplace Centre
IBAN: ES3000495750182216059509
Swift / BIC: BSCHESMMXXX
Bank: BANCO SANTANDER, S.A.
Country: Spain
How can you read that and even ask the question lol.
Also tbh that card is sold to you at £300 less than what it is right now on Amazon so I would aslo be highly suspect of that as well.
I just don’t know how it could be more obvious. They literally told him to send a direct deposit to a Spanish bank and he still thought he needed to ask if it was a scam 😂
This is a growing scam. Often they will put a sign right in the 2nd thumb that says "ORDER WILL BE CANCELLED YOU MUST ORDER THROUGH ____."
There's always a new scam and always will be.
Make sure you report them to Amazon bc asking you to make a payment outside of Amazon’s system is against marketplace tos. They’ll get banned and will have to be inconvenienced by switching to scam acct. no. 2848506837
It's a scam, definitely report it to Amazon.
I would also report it as fraud to the Spanish banking authorities, but Spain makes it very difficult to report crimes without being physically present in Spain.
Your best bet would probably be reporting it as attempted wire fraud to your local authorities, as a legitimate seller doesn't need a wire transfer for any reason (they are designed for accounts you control, and have basically no recourse).
Tons of other people have said the same thing but I will just repeat it.
Contact amazon support. They will get this sorted. Also you will need to find somewhere else to get a GPU.
Either a scam or the seller's been "hacked" (i.e. used the same pass everywhere) and the scammer's taken over their account. Check the seller page and see if they've been around for a while or they're new. Scam accounts don't stick around for long.
Either way, don't send them anything and report them to Amazon.
The reason that scammers like to use bank transfers is because they are almost impossible to reverse. If the seller never sends you the item, you have no recourse. Conversely, using a credit card, you can dispute the charge and get your money back.
Pro tip: If you have an American Express card, I always use that for questionable purchases. American Express, more often that not, always sides with the customer.
By making a bank transfer it just looks like a gift there is no contract of sale. Contact customer support and tell them the seller cancelled your order and is trying to get you to do a bank transfer.
Amazon will ban him as he is 1, trying to use a payment method they dont offer 2, cutting them out of getting a fee while advertising on their website 3, scamming people.
Yea man don't fall for that. you need to keep the transaction within there website. Or you risk loosing your money. This also applies ti eBay or any legit website.
If you have to ask the question…….
They are baiting people with non-existent products, cancelling orders, then cashing in on the people that make the non-reversible non-refundable non-protected bank transfer.
All it takes is 2 victims a week and they are making over $52k a year.
Is a bank transfer a wire transfer? As far as I've heard, wiring money is almost the same as handing someone cash, and very hard to reverse as time goes on.
100% a scam. They don't want a credit card because then you can do a charge back.
You do a bank transfer, and your funds are as good as gone. The only time something like that is acceptable is when a trustee (aka someone you trust) has an escrow account hold the funds until the transaction is complete. Buying a house can use something like this.
Yeah, it's a scam, and report that shit so can flag their ass for trying to scam, if any seller contact you asking you to pay outside of amazon, and claim whatever you used not supported are lying thought their teeth, because amazon get the money 1st before seller does, and the seller has NO choice how they want to get paid, or else they wouldn't list on Amazon to begin with, so they can't use the excuse saying your payment method not supported.
Yes. You are basically being asked to buy it out of the platfrm so you'll never get the purchase protection coverage. Definitely best to report the seller.
Yes it's a scam. Don't ever pay for something on Amazon without using Amazon's payment methods.
[удалено]
It’s 1000% scam!
Hi i am the seller, IT IS Not scam. /Sarcasm dont do IT mate

It’s 100 000% scam!
10000% its a scam. I can't believe you had to ask.
Report it!
How? Amazon has no clear, direct way to report sellers or products. Serious question, btw.
You have to contact customer service and alert them to the scam have them transfer you to someone who can handle that.
Thank you. The last time I had an issue I couldn't find anything customer support. Just found it.
i just press random buttons and type random things until it connects me to a human.
Best thing I've found is just typing "I want to speak to a human", works first time on most websites.
If you pay by Bank transfer for anything, just know your bank will laugh at you when you try to ask them for help when you inevitably get scammed. Business = Bank Transfer = scam.
They won't compensate?
Short answer, no. Long answer, probably not. They won't usually compensate for your mistake with transfers. Sometimes it's possible to get the money back from the receiving end of a scam, but it's not to be expected.
Banks won’t help if you knowingly transfer from your account to another.

Yea had this as well for a Google Pixel 6 pro which was like 300 euros, they tried to make me buy the phone again on their own totally legit site
Yeah, report ASAP so Amazon can look into it and freeze them soon other will not fall victim. Holiday season is coming and there will be some parents/grandparents shopping for kids/grandkids. They might think it's normal and fall for it.
OK I'm trying to report them
please get them expelled from the platform
It'll only help for a few minutes until they create a new account. Amazon really isn't interested in policing their sellers anymore.
Yeah, I learned a long time ago that I should only purchase items sold and fulfilled by Amazon (and if it's a name brand item, only from their official store within Amazon).

They absolutely care about sellers trying to not pay them. Just not sellers that are giving them money. They will act on this sort of thing.
THEY SHOULD HAVE THEIR INTERNET TURNED OFF AND THEY SHOULD BE FORCED TO STAND WITH THEIR NOSE IN THE CORNER OF THE ROOM FOR AT LEAST 30 MINUTES FOR THIS
CAN YOU PLEASE STOP YELLING? MY EARS ARE VERY SENSITIVE THANK YOU

Any updates?
Sadly it will take weeks. I reported a seller and they were still on the platform for a long long time after.
For a company with unlimited resources you'd think they would be better at basic shit.
They have unlimited resources because they don't spend money on basic shit.
What resources? I think you mean shareholders hard earned money!
They'll pay a programmer $300k/year because they have to in order to hire one in that position, then not buy them a second monitor.
Thats because they literally throw their "recources" into space or try to and make them explode in the process lol
You forgot the yachts. All the yachts

It’s pathetic that amazon would take down the listing but not the seller
probably harder to do unless there's a lot of reports.

We gotta fix it...We gotta get 6969
it absolutely is a scam The trick is that they claim "this payment doesn't work send us money directly", so you don't have any protection from amazon, they send you nothing and you can't even get a refund because you wired the money directly to them.
Huh, makes sense. I thought they were trying to steal your bank account info though.
What do they want to do with the info tho Send u money?

This is really crazy, doesn't Amazon vet sellers? How can such sellers be allowed to exist.
No, not at all. They rely on user reports.
But obviously ratings are "overwhelmingly positive". Jesus the time we live in...
I alway sort my most recent... a lot more telling than most helpful or top rated

Send it to Santander's fraud department too (the Spanish one), that account is either a money mule's or directly the fraudster's
I don't know if they do it different in the UK. But demanding a bank transfer looks like a scam to me. You should report this to Amazon customer service
We absolutely do not do this in the UK, it's most definitely a scam.
Immediately when they say that you can't pay the safe way, its a scam.
this exactly
Definitely a scam.
That message is a huge red flag. Report them to amazon
Absolute scam. Contact Amazon support immediately and report this. They will refund your original purchase payment. Never fall for these scams that want you to pay using methods other than Amazons own payment methods. And be careful of ordering through 3rd party seller on Amazon.

or atleast any other reputable company: i've bought stuff from amazon from stores that are reputable like Box.co.uk or Scan
Send me the seller details so I can send a scam alert to the police here in Spain, they don't tread lightly on this kind of issues
I can no longer find this seller on Amazon. Only the bank details he sent me Account holder: Marketplace Centre IBAN: ES3000495750182216059509 Swift / BIC: BSCHESMMXXX Bank: BANCO SANTANDER, S.A. Country: Spain
Damn man maybe forward the scammers actions to Banco Santander too. They might shut his account down.
Looks like amazon did there job!
You could report the IBAN number somewhere don’t remember where but iirc the police is a good option, as this is cybercime
https://twitter.com/policia They usually reply to DMs
the bank account was likely made using a stolen identity sadly. that seems to be the trend
Still, if they weren’t expecting it to be shutdown maybe there’s still some money in there… or maybe there are pending scams… doesn’t hurt.
Scam.
Thank you guys. The refund from Amazon has arrived. Looks like I just need to ignore this scammer
I would still report to Amazon
Yes I'm doing that.
Nice! and thank you for protecting others.
>Bank Transfer Report them IMMEDIATELY.
How can you read that and even ask the question lol. Also tbh that card is sold to you at £300 less than what it is right now on Amazon so I would aslo be highly suspect of that as well.

That seems odd, I had no idea amazon sellers can cancel a payment processed by amazon.
They cancel the Amazon *order*, which automatically reverses any payment made through Amazon.
That makes sense.
If something involves a money transfer, it is always a scam.
Report it right away and have a refund issued immediately.
If it feels like a scam... assume it's a scam.
Scam, advise Amazon as they’ll be interested to shut this cunt down
This is a growing scam. Often they will put a sign right in the 2nd thumb that says "ORDER WILL BE CANCELLED YOU MUST ORDER THROUGH ____." There's always a new scam and always will be.
report this mf to amazon

its a scam, don't EVER do bank transfers. and fuck that seller, I'd alert amazon to cancel the seller right away.
Seller name is Nutwell, lool
C’mon brother, use your imagination on this one.

I remember when Amazon felt like an actual store. Now it feels like a local swapmeet... and not the good kind.
Hot tip: If you have to ask on Reddit if something is a scam - it's a scam. Trust your gut
I'd try to report his bank account too.
Don't do it. The astronauts in the international space station can see that this is a scam all the way from outer space.

Never do a bank transfer you won't be covered
Edit: Dude is from South America, either Spain, Brasil or Argentina.
Report Seller to Amazon CS. They mean srs bizness.

Is a bank transfer a wire transfer? As far as I've heard, wiring money is almost the same as handing someone cash, and very hard to reverse as time goes on.
Based on the vendor name, I say if you send them money, they will Nutwell indeed.
Let Amazon know
Please report this email and order ID to Amazon customer service they will terminate the vendor.
Definitely a scam. All payments go through Amazon only and after that Amazon gives the money to seller by having its percentage for marketplace
Scam
Why do people insist on buying from a third party inside Amazon? Just buy things sold or fulfilled directly by Amazon and save the headaches
Yes. The payment methods in place are there for a reason. Report this to Amazon immediately.
Scam
Report this ASAP, This is a scam.
God is telling you to hold off your purchase until you see the new AMD offerings tomorrow
Retailer asking for bank info = automatically a scam. Always buy with a CC online so you have protection.
Report the seller to Amazon. Some people will easily fall for this.
Yup. Report that shit
Yes, paying £641 for a 3080 is a scam. Stay vigilant out there!
100% a scam. They don't want a credit card because then you can do a charge back. You do a bank transfer, and your funds are as good as gone. The only time something like that is acceptable is when a trustee (aka someone you trust) has an escrow account hold the funds until the transaction is complete. Buying a house can use something like this.
Yeah, it's a scam, and report that shit so can flag their ass for trying to scam, if any seller contact you asking you to pay outside of amazon, and claim whatever you used not supported are lying thought their teeth, because amazon get the money 1st before seller does, and the seller has NO choice how they want to get paid, or else they wouldn't list on Amazon to begin with, so they can't use the excuse saying your payment method not supported.
Report them to Amazon customer service immediately. They need to have their storefront shut down, and investigation started.
641 good boy points? Scam
Damn dude only 641 good boy points? What a steal
Report this to Amazon immediately. Do not send these idiots money.
Yes. You are basically being asked to buy it out of the platfrm so you'll never get the purchase protection coverage. Definitely best to report the seller.
Better report to Amazon with all details to prevent other victims
