Looks good, if I were you I'd hide my MoHo in case they sell it and then steal to order! :wink:

Report to ebay to get removal . I got a scammer done for attempt fraud a few years back , but it took a lot of chasing of the police . The offense takes place in the area of seller , and I located the actual owner of vehicle shown in ebay listing , who made statement that he owned vehicle , and hadn't authorized anyone to sell for him.
They had been trying to catch him for quite a while :) .

Common scam but they don't steal the vans it's just deposits and email addresses they are after

All the gear, and no idea!
Not just motorhomes, the scammers are doing it with Harley Davidsons, one of my old bikes is always on there, it soon gets shut down(y)

It happens daily - a pic & description put on ebay, always ridiculously low price (compared to true value of actual model in the pic), always the same story - 'am out of the country, my driver will deliver anywhere in the country, payment in full ...' and daily they sell. For example a mh that everyone should know is worth £15k, advertised for £4,500 .... It's virtually always newbies who fall for it. Some good folk do take the trouble to report them to ebay - they are obvious to those who see and know ... but that takes time, and by the time the rogue ads have been spotted, reported and deleted it's too late - some XXXX has already sent the money off so as not to miss the 'bargain' :/

You were lucky to get feedback. I reported a crook advertising on fleaBay and the listing was removed but I didn't even get a "thank you" from them.

This happened to us when selling a Swift caravan. We had a query alerting us to a listing with our photos and asking which ad was real!!
When I contacted the seller they initially denied the photos were mine and when I told them my fields and our ponies were in the photos they became angry and told me I was sad to be bothered by it.
eBay took their listing down very quickly after I reported fraud.
