what is stormpay? is it similar to paypal?

[indca]

It seems one of the customer is interested in buying one of my product but he is offering stormpay check, is this legit? is this a good serive to use to sell something or is it big ripoff?

what else do I need to do other then registaring with them? Do will I withdraw the payment sent by e-mail.

Could this be scam?

This is the e-mail message I received from hiim!!

I'll be paying you through Storm-pay Online Money Order. it's secure and protects two parties in a transaction. I will like you to provide the below requirements in your reply for me to send it to storm-pay Office for payment before you ship it.

All this information should be provided correctly to avoid wrong payment.

I will forward my wife residential address to you for shipping as soon as the payment reaches you.

It's a scam.

It looks likes it was legit but now ppl are experiencing problems with it.

To be honest, I wouldn't go through with it if it was me. Sure it can be legit, but for peace of mind I say let it go.

Even without the stormpay issue, selling to someone outside of North America and sending to a different address than where the buyer is located should set off alarm bells and red flags.

Just reply and say that verified paypal addresses in North America are only acceptable. If he really wants the item he'll make arrangements to buy it locally or arrange for someone here to buy and ship to him.

Don't get suckered in.

Next step is he will offer you 2x your asking price when you say no.

Scam.

Stormpay closed a while ago and they are no long allowed to be used as a payment processor.
