It's not on ebay it's on jlwd.co.uk

If you want to search ebay for vehicles go to
http://www.ebay.co.uk
Then use their search facility. Don't use google or bing to search for vehicles on ebay.

If you already know this I apologise but quite a few people seem to use search engines for ebay for some reason and the search engines can be played to allow scams like this.:cry:

I can't see how it's done but know it's not Ebay---I am not signed in wheras it would always say "hellp Bo********" (my ebay name)
I clicked on ask a question and it is a total different format to Ebay's.

Can't see how you can report it to Ebay as it's not on their site.

But as you say, obv. a scam.

As this is not the first time I have seen this domain used for scamming I have contacted Nominet. (I am a member with voting privileges ) I have also contacted the hosting provider's abuse dept.

Hopefully something will come of it.

Simple if you know how.. The advert is on eBay and when you open the page it jumps straight to the scam page

The original advert has been reported..

Hope that helps

Thanks for all your tips and warnings--much appreciated by this novice.

Nominet are dealing with the fact the owner of the domain has the domain registered as an individual and has privacy mode switched on. This is not allowed for domains used for business purposes. He will either be forced to turn off privacy mode or remove the business from the site I am guessing.

I am still waiting to hear from the hosting provider. If nothing comes of it I will contact enom and see if they can take action.

I have heard from the hosting provider...

Hello,

The content in question has been removed.
Please check the same from your side and let us know if this issue needs further attention.

Thank you.
SingleHop Team.

This is a step in the right direction but not enough in my view. I will be asking them to disable the subdomain with ebay in it to prevent it happening again.

My conversation with nominet has resulted in them changing this to a non private registration. The whois now shows his contact details.

I will look into finding out more to see if we can get him to stop hosting ebay scams. It is possible he doesn't know about it....

Well done Gromett :thumb: no idea how you did all this but if anyone got ripped off by this it would be very easy for the old bill to follow it up.After all you have done the work for them :thumb: BTW I have not seen any more scams of this type for a few weeks now so well done again.
