scroll down the advert and you will see on the left at the bottom an address of a company or notLooking on that listing at 'See other items' that seller has 16 more at excellent prices.
Yep, I've seen that. The address looks a bit iffy but am I missing something else?
They can hijack the account of genuine ebayers.
All their feedback is as a buyer, and none as a seller. They have bought stuff to get good feedback and all of their sales are classifieds so no feedback would be left by the sorry buyer as the transaction would happen off ebay
They only have feedback as a Buyer, none as a Seller and from a quick scan their purchases as a Buyer are largely cosmetics/domestic stuff.
Hi no thats it non existant but made to match the hijacked ebay account
The location of these scam listings is often in capitals or is simply “UK”. When you look at the description it’s usually a link or image containing email addresses or phone numbers.
I agree. Most of us here all know the prices of Motorhomes and can spot a scam price but it’s only because we have an interest in the vehicles. It’s easy to see how people can be greedy and think they are getting a bargain . I remember a scam in the first lockdown where a couple paid for a motorhome that never existed . They both worked in the NHS I think . I felt sorry for them as they lost all their money but people really shouldn’t pay money for a motorhome they haven’t even seen!
Stolen/hacked original account
Yup. And when you want to view it they'll say they're working abroad/on an oil rig/away in the Orkney's/in for a service/ in a virus restricted area etc. etc. and insist upon a deposit 'to hold it as I've had a lot of interest.......' or some such drivel.
Did the same with one a few years ago with a van that was half the true price and I’d seen it elsewhere for sale. Checked with the true owner then went after this guy. Convinced the idiot I was stupid enough to buy it unseen and had fallen for his assurance that it would be delivered to my house and he’d refund me immediately if I didn’t like it. He wanted it to be paid to an intermediary account but he was so thick I eventually convinced him to give me his own bank account details. Printed out all details and took it to his bank to ask how they could have opened an account for a fraudster. Also sent it to eBay and the fraud hotline. Got one unhappy threatening email back from him (which I replied to.) Quite enjoyed it
Yes I had the same.
Pointless.
