Krprestige. Co.uk is a domain hosting website.

Try Googling krprestige.co.uk. You'll notice he's done it many times before. He uses the "atd" prefix but a different number each time.

So he has, and each advert has been removed by ebay, signs of a truly dependable dealer!

How does the scam work?

They get you to deal outside of Ebay and persuade you to pay for the vehicle in advance on the promise that your payment is protected until you are happy with the vehicle - and that's the last you hear from them.

Sounds dodgy. Suppose someone might fall for it otherwise he wouldn't keep trying.

I was a little bored the other day and searched ebay for newly listed motorhomes under £15000 and within 5 minutes had found over 60 scam adverts. The scams are quite easy to spot as the vehicles are grossly under priced, the seller asks you for your phone number and if you click on 'see other items' you will find numerous top end cars and mini digger/excavators for sale approx. £4k - £5.
In the past I have reported these scams to Ebay but have realised that it is pointless. In general if you report an advert first thing in the morning it won't be removed until late in the evening and within a couple of hours the same ad is posted back on Ebay.

Sadly it has happened several times, just try looking on google for ebay motorhome scams

I saw the Hymer ads mentioned and sent the seller a message via eBay 'Scammer'.
I normally do this, sometimes I have got messages back from the account holder asking what I'm on about, it appears their account has been hacked and were not even aware of the ad. It's a shame eBay don't police it better.
