I lost 400,000 Korean won to a buy and sell app scam
Written by Ibarra Sharmaine
K-pop albums and official merchandise are rare finds in Philippines 15 years ago. As a second-generation K-pop fan like me, having an access to second-generation K-pop goods is a dream come true. When I first arrived in South Korea, I made a bucket list. One of my bucket lists is to collect all Super Junior albums and merchandise. It means that I need track down all Super Junior goods since their 2005 debut. Sounds crazy, right? But I am up for an adventure.
From different corners of Myeongdong, I discovered the buy and sell app called ¹ø°³ÀåÅÍ or Bunjang and Karrot. I was also introduced to Joonggonara in Naver. The three are amazing buy and sell online marketplace especially for someone like me that has basic Korean communication skill. All K-pop goods that I was looking for was there! Beside K-pop items, I also find good deals on gadgets, luxury items, clothes, gift cards and more. Anything that you can think of is available in the three online marketplace that I mentioned.
Most of my K-pop rare finds are from Bunjang app. But it took me a while before I bought something on the app. If you are a Filipino and you see cheap goods online, you will be suspicious. The reason is there are many online and offline scammers in the Philippines. However, after thoroughly checked resellers¡¯ account reviews, I was convinced to do my first purchase on the app. I learned to find a good reseller and even buy a smartphone!
Usually, I agree with bank transfer method especially if the reseller have tons of excellent reviews. The bank transfer method is when you transfer the money directly to the reseller¡¯s bank account and not using the ¹ø°³ÆäÀÌ ¾ÈÀü°áÁ¦ or safety payment method that is through the app.
I was enjoying my buy and sell app shopping experience until last year when I bought a sealed PlayStation 5 for a friend. Because PlayStation 5 is sold out in official stores, my friend asked me to find a PlayStation 5 reseller on the app. I found several resellers but only one has a reasonable selling price. I contacted that reseller and asked for the actual product photo. The reseller sent two photos of the product and told me that the reason for reselling the PlayStation 5 is he and his wife fought about it. Without checking the reseller¡¯s account reviews, I immediately closed the deal. I transferred 400,000 Korean won to his bank account and he told me that he will send the item on the next day.
Even I felt that there¡¯s something off, I chose to trust him. Mainly because I never had a bad experience using the app. Actually, I am always careful on buying things online that¡¯s why up to that time, I have never been scammed in my whole life.
On the next day, I asked the reseller for a follow up, only to find out that he already left our chatroom though his Bunjang account is still active. I tried reaching him through the cellphone number that he gave but it is not available anymore. I suspect that he used a burner phone number. I started digging on his account which is only few days old and found out that he doesn¡¯t have any reviews.
At this point, I don¡¯t know what should I do or where should I complain. I was so distraught so, I asked for help from a Korean friend. As soon as I told him what happened, he promptly reported the incident to Korean National Police Agency Cyber Bureau. On the agency¡¯s website, my friend filled up an incident report form that is about 10 pages long.
Besides the form is in Korean, my friend said that the form is a little bit complicated and he could not imagine if a foreigner like me can easily answer it. On the incident report form, he attached the screenshot of my bank transaction and conversation with the reseller together with the copy of my alien registration card.
The police gave updates about the case time to time. But after eight months, the police informed us unfortunately that the suspect is probably already out the country. However, not all fraud cases in Korea end up like mine. I read from online blogs that some victims got their money back. But it is better to avoid being scammed, right? In this regard, here are some tips in order to avoid scam in buy and sell online marketplace.
. Check how many days or months old is the reseller¡¯s account. The older the better.
. Read the reseller¡¯s reviews.
. If you are not using the app¡¯s safe payment method, be sure that you check the cellphone number and bank account of the reseller on Korean National Police Agency Cyber Bureau website.
. As much as possible, use the app¡¯s safe payment method or meet the reseller personally.
If there was any circumstance that you need to report a fraud incident, you don¡¯t need to go personally to the police station. You can report it through Korean National Police Agency Cyber Bureau website like my friend did. For foreigners in Busan that couldn¡¯t read and write in Korean, you can seek help in translation through Life in Busan app.
