I bought and paid for a laptop from a person with confirmed identity by TradeMe. The seller postponed courier for a few days and now has stopped replying to my email. I looked their name up online and made contact to be told that their identity had been stolen and had been used for around 6 TradeMe scams. The actual Paul Stieller reported this identity theft to TradeMe and NZ police several times but TradeMe have done nothing. I made the trade through TradeMe to avoid this kind of scam, with identity supposedly verified. I can’t afford to lose $4,000 and don’t know what to do.
