bkk_bwana Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 (edited) I don't know if anyone has noticed this. When you buy from some of the dealers on Line, some have a link that allows you to see a list or download/share an Excel/Google Sheet file of deliveries that they have sent out via courier. Typical information includes Tracking number, Customer Name, in some cases address, the value to collect COD. I've seen the same with Facebook dealers where they sent out this list on Messenger.

bamnutsak Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 There is some risk, no doubt, but that's off-set by the availability of goods. The address thing is fairly common, especially with low-priced, high-volume items. I've even seen full addresses posted. All of my experiences result in one single direct message re: shipping details/tracking number. On the bank front, it depends. The recipient doesn't receive your bank account number - just your name and amount. AFAIK. But sometimes they ask for a confirmation slip, which may show all but 4 digits of your account. I usually black that out before sending it, only takes a minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
