Just spotted this ad on ebay.
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/224023067326 Typical scam, one picture, second of an email address and bargain buy it now price, plus the seller listing the usual motor home, mini digger, etc all at prices to good to be true, but this one has 120 bids and is over £65k.

hahah that's fantastic
had a guy call the shop last week - he phoned as a td5 which belongs to one of my customers we have up for sale at the moment on our site - some one has pinched the photos and put it on eBay for £5k - sadly the guy who phoned parted with the £5k via bank transfer  CSK Automotive

Sadly the scam must work otherwise the bar stewards wouldn't go the the effort. Doesn't take many £5k windfalls to make it worthwhile 2007 - Stornoway Grey 90 XS SW - Gone

Police called me once after someone had parted with 8k for my old camper that had been listed on Ebay by dirtbags. Still amazed that people part with cash so readily but did feel for them, that is a lot of money for anyone to lose.

It looks like someone is bidding on all their vehicles for over £65k

eBay is ok however id not consider buying a car without seeing it first. There is always someone who is after your money almost bought a Harley some years ago but they would not let me see it till I had paid for it no way was I doing that turned out to be scam

These guys have everything for sale..campers,tractors,old bikes..what I do is enter into conversation with them,and insist they take cash..I will offer ten grand over asking,if they will take cash....I even copy the emails to the other stuff they have for sale...its a great past time.
Usually ends in a torrent of abuse,give it a try. |
