I have just sent a message to melrabell through ebay as it appears to be a genuine account that has been hacked , other items for sale are all fashion related and with the same location.
It is not obvious on Ebay where to report potential bogus listings. |

But wouldn't the hacker just receive your message?

You may be right ! I followed the link through the red wedges as a question about them. Either way the innocent party is aware or the hacker is aware they have been rumbled .
It has to be in the interest of Ebay to take down dubious sales adds but it appears difficult to notify them , unless I am being thick. |

It's genuine - the wheels have been swopped out (prob because the laquer is
 on the original boosts. It has bonnet CP added but on the plus side it has the roof rack and genuine light bar protector.
The interior looks ok - correct seats and CP mats but the original cubby box has been replaced by a MSS one. The correct wheels would improve things. Just read the other posts and see it isa hacked account or scam. John http://www.hampshire4x4response.co.uk 2011 Tdci 110 CSW XS Last edited by JSG on 22nd Oct 2012 4:33pm. Edited 1 time in total |

Well I had contact from him last night, still not by phone and always late at night, perhaps the time difference between Africa and here. Here is what he said:
Hi Dean, I got your details. I will start the selling procedure first thing tomorrow morning. Wait for my reply! My friend will bring the car with all the reg. documents. If I get to star the selling procedure tomorrow he will be there by Wednesday. If you have the money available on Friday I won't be able to bring the car before I confirm your payment with eBay... so expect the car on Sunday.... Cheers, Matt It's funny how although he claims the money would be guaranteed by Ebay, he will not deliver the car until he has full payment. It is also funny that on closer inspection of the Ebay listing, it clearly states that it is not subject to the Ebay guarantee. I hope this helps others to stay away from this scam. Dean The only one that can take the punishment we give it. |

No, the TRs don't have that. The advert shows a genuine TR but is obviosly a scam. John http://www.hampshire4x4response.co.uk 2011 Tdci 110 CSW XS |
