am i being stupied , but how can you tell if they are scams ???:RollEyes:
S&L

Most are less than half proper price and they ask you to contact them giving you a option to contact them out side ebay either by phone and/or usually gmail/hotmail acount.Once you contact them they give you a vey plausable story that they work away on oil rig etc and if you pay into there account via a ebay holding account to keep your money safe :winky: until you take delivery of van and are happy :thumb: then you release the money :ROFLMAO:
sorry but your money went whenyou paid into holding account -no such thing- and the ebay email would have been a spoof email.VERY convicing to idiots :winky:
edit forgot to say lot's are with 0 feedback :winky:

First is the price, always stupidly low, biggest giveaway. Then often they have zero feedback. Then there are the ones that state 'send email (often written 'e_m_a_i_l' or mobile number for more photos/info. Quite often way up in the north of Scotland hoping you won't want to travel that far to view. There are other tell-tale signs that we have learnt to recognise but if they didn't price them so ridiculously low we wouldn't notice them in the first place.


edit - cross-posted but you get the gist.,

This has to be a scam but it is with 'best offer', not seen a scam with this before......
