Hello I hope this is the right section! Im trying to do a backtrace on a person from Liechtenstein, i think its in Europe or switz. And i need someone to help me where i can find a place to do a backtrace make sure he checks out etc, i have address/phone etc, if someone could help me VIA PMS, that would be cool! And i will rep + you Thanks Tyler
You don't really need to bother. When in doubt do this: WITHHOLD account number -- provide only: Wire Transfer to account nameholder Institution No. Branch No. SWIFT Code: ROUTING: ... and for your account number ADVISE "CONTACT XXX-XXX-XXXX ON RECEIPT FOR INSTRUCTIONS" [The phone number you are available at during your local banking hours] Now your branch gets the wire and advises you as such without providing specific account info that can be used to transfer moneys out... or the scammer ignores you.
I was given from my bank Transit # Institution# Swift Code# Acct# (Different from my card, international number maybe? )
That works... your bank will get any transaction (it won't get lost) and the number provided will associate the number with you and a deposit can then be made... but if someone attempts to defraud using that info they will get a bogus return... and you'll know pretty quickly if the person is on the up & up!
Very interesting... have you tried this before? I imagine that some foreign banks wouldn't want to send an international transfer without a valid account number for the recipient... also, some legitimate buyers might get suspicious if you don't want to provide your account number.
Numerous... usually with peiple from developing countries. A bank sending a wire to another bank doesn't have credibility issues. I could "claim" I didn't receive the transfer... but the receiving bank can "refute that claim" pretty quickly or send the wire back to the originating bank and charge my account accordingly. It is the best way for both parties to avoid being conned by unscrupulous people with no intentions on really transferring money or the sale's tangible assets.
What is the best way?? And i dont quite grasp what you are trying to say. The bank told me to give the short number, he said he sent it, so will give it a few days Thanks Tyler
