I got this from [email protected]

Due to my location and since view is not an option I have requested personal support and I was approved to use Buyer Protection Program. Here is how the process works:

- you give me your full name and shipping address
- I start the transaction with the eBay,
- they send further payment instructions,
- you have to pay for the item to eBay to secure the funds,
- they confirm me that they received the funds,
- I deliver the tractor,
- you receive the tractor,
- they send me the money.

Everything is covered by eBay. I will get paid only after you confirm that you received the tractor in good order.
Let me know if this is acceptable. Thank you

They don't seem to vary the language much. I edited out information which might be educational to scammers. ~Bubbles

A very similar e-bay offer appeared for a VW campervan this weekend -
The listing appeared as a classified add £6000, I emailed the seller asking for details - they came back and said they wanted a quick sale and would accept £4,500, (the e-bay advert was then pulled).
They said it was in Dundee so they would arrange delivery though "Buyer protection" ....

"Due to my location and since view is not an option I have requested personal support and I was approved to use Buyer Protection Program. Here is how the process works:

- you give me your full name and shipping address
- I start the transaction with the eBay,
- they send further payment instructions,
- you have to pay for the item to eBay to secure the funds,
- they confirm me that they received the funds,
- I deliver the motorhome,
- you receive the motorhome,
- they send me the money.

Everything is covered by eBay. I will get paid only after you confirm that you received the motorhome in good order.
Let me know if this is acceptable. Thank you"

- I asked for additional photo's - they were unable to supply, I said I had a friend near Dundee and asked if he could view it on my behalf and complete the transaction with cash if everything was in order (and save the transportation costs), apparently "viewing was not possible due to location", I said I couldn't find any reference to Buyer protection covering vehicles on e-bay and so the conversation has gone on ....

In short Vendor "Sarah" e-mail [email protected] and [email protected] initial web text to my mobile was from "sarahsale42"

"Sarah" said it was a private sale yet was listed as "Classified" neither classified or vehicles sales are covered by EBay buyer protection, she couldn't send additional photos, she would not entertain viewing and/or collection and would not provide a telephone number to call and discuss - Increasingly suspicious - then my brother in law found this site ..... Need I say more?

Hi I've just seen this thread - I'm hoping it's not too late. No money or bank details have been passed on but name address and phone number. I feel pretty stupid but am hopeful that I've not given anything too significant away. I would appreciate some (hopefully reassuring) advice.
by Helen Halper Mon Mar 26, 2012 7:11 pm
Welcome to Scamwarners, Myer!
Please don't worry, the scammer only wants your money. Just stop contact with him, he'll probably give up immediately. :D

by Myer Tue Mar 27, 2012 2:36 am
Thanks for the reassurance Helen. It's great that this site exists. All the best Myer

Wow this is a big scam I see. I am aware this is the same scam as the "john Neale" scam - exactly the same stuff. this time it was a £3000 citroen hymer motorhome. the email address the scammer used is [email protected] and a text was sent from johnmr2012.
he hacked into someone's rarely used ebay account to start it off!!!
gave an address of 19 Grange Road, Dundee, Angus, DD5 4LU and did the whole "buyer protection" story.
He also used photobucket to send pics of the motorhome.
People need to report this guy to the police and ebay!

I had the same email exchange this evening.

There was a VW T5 on ebay for £5k. I got in touch thinking it must be a typo or no engine or something :)

In fact they explained they were going to Afghanistan and you know the rest.

This email exchange was today. 30th April,

The email address used was [email protected]
The name used was "SGM. Joanna Illingworth , ( 82nd BCT )"

b**t*rds!

Hi All,

These people are still very much ACTIVE!! VW T5 on Autotrader 01/05/12 & I belive it was on Ebay the previous week! - Email sent to enquire as it's too good to be true!

Exactly the same response as below I have the emails if anyone wishes to have the re-posted?!
Very good email response from them in my opion (my 1st thought)......the written english isn't great but if your really looking for a van/car you can become blinded by a BARGIN (typical English human being :-))

I can see why people have been taken in by this but some one must beable to stop them! I feel so sorry for anyone that has handed over the hard earned money!

Lucky for me I googled the location and name Joanna Illingworth ([email protected]) as it didnt add up...directed to this internet page! Thank you! I belive the address is a cadet training camp and the 82nd Battalion is infact in Canada!? (also in the images trade plates are visable as a reflection in the windscreen!) so are they stealing images or actually test drving to photgraph?

I didnt get as far as obtaining their bank details the Google secure pay site was offered to me - in reply to their email request for my money I offered to double the price of the Van, pay direct to their bank account and funny enough no reply as yet!

I think the moto here is if you can not view what you plan to buy no matter how much of a bargin you think your getting DONT BUY IT! ********* GREAT SITE - SHAME IT CAN NOT BE ATTCHED TO AUTOTRADER/PISTONHEADS/EBAY***********

I was the fool who did get caught by this scam, E bay will not even reply, reported to the police and action fraud last wednesday, Action Fraud lost the file and Police still have not responded,even though they gave me a case number. I can only assume this is not as important as speeding or parking on double yellow lines. I take it there is nothing I can do just write off the £3300 and try to force Ebay to take better precautions. I have contacted Crimewatch so perhaps something might happen. Any further advise would be much appreciated
by Dotti Wed May 02, 2012 9:16 am
I'm sorry you lost money to these scammers.

Unfortunately, eBay is very limited as to what they can do. If the ad was placed using a legitimate account (often scammers use account information phished from real users), and withdrawn quickly, there would have been no major flag to alert them of scam. Everything else was done completely outside of eBay--they were never involved in any transaction, and assuming the scammer moved to email instead of eBay messages, they would have absolutely no access to the correspondence between the scammer and you. They do post the terms of eBay buyer protection on their website, and they have many warnings about taking transactions outside of eBay, using wire transfer, etc. so you will probably find that as far as they are concerned, they feel they have taken the appropriate precautions.

You are right in that the local police likely would pursue a speeding ticket before they will pursue your case. But it's not because they consider fraud unimportant--it's because the criminals are far out of their jurisdiction (most likely not even in the same country), so they have no real power to pursue the criminals.

Unfortunately, that's why sites like ours exist. The complications of internet scams make it very difficult to get justice, and the internet, while a wonderful tool, makes it very easy for these scammers to operate--so we work to get the information out there so that people can protect themselves from scammers.

Hi to all new to forum but can report it helped me not make an expensive mistake last year and since then Ihave been keeping a look out for these scams on Ebay and have found a repeat preformance that they used last year :-

Hello Richard and sorry for my late answer,
I know that you have many choices on eBay and I appreciate that you contacted me. First I have to let you know that I've earlier ended my ebay auction because some "serious buyers" that wanted to buy my motorhome, but in the end they did not have the money to pay for it... So the motorhome is still for sale.
I recently got separated from my wife. I also own a holiday house in Spain, Cadiz and I was forced to have moved here, the van is also here with me, I took it with me because we had to many things to carry.
The camper was gently used by me and my ex. wife only and it is in perfect conditions, is still registered in United Kingdom as you can see plate numbers from the photos !
Excellent condition, the bodywork is immaculate, no scratches, dents or hidden defects as well as the interior in excellent. I'm the registered keeper after the divorce and there is no outstanding finance on the motorhome, also the motorhome comes with a full service history.
Pick-up is available also. Shipping from Cadiz can be arranged at a very best value (maximum 700 pounds and half it will be covered by me), so the price for my motorhome is 5,400 + 350(half of the delivery)= 5,750.00 !
I want this transaction to be as smooth as possible so I will only close the sale trough eBay for our own protection.
Anyway if you are really interested in this motorhome and you need more photos or details, please reply because I have a lot of interested customers!
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Sincerely Syd

I hope this may help prevent someone from making an expensive mistake as it is unfortunate the police and ebay seem unable to stop this.

If it helps any the ip address they used traced back to San jose california but I am not to sure how this works as when they tried with me last year they were in scotland ,Leeds and finally Spain although I did miss a trick by not using the bank details they gave to follow up . A mistake I wont make again.
by Rose Waller Fri May 18, 2012 6:25 pm
They get better and better with time, yes always use the site portal for communication, once a buyer/seller/person asks me to communicate outside the site, it is a clear sign something is in deed wrong, I have met few who were legitimate but it's up to you to accept his reason for working outside the site.

on all fraudulent items you will see that the scammer in one way or another is asking for the buyers personal email address "No time wasters again please !! Please provide your email address for more pictures."

or in other cases the the feedback of the scammer is 0 (zero) and if you click on to view his feedback you will notice that the account was created a 5 days ago

If there is anybody here that can call to the scammers bank to announce the bank that there is a fraud going on that account

Hi all,i am her to let you all know that this scammer is active tonight 1830hrs 28/05/2012,the scammer contacted me earlier asking if i wanted to buy a kubuta mini digger 2006 model for 3,300 which is about 5k cheaper than it should be,the following communication commenced;

sarah
The digger s still for sale. Immaculate condition, no damages, nothing to worry about. All necessary documents available. My current location is Scotland due to my work commitments. If this is going to be a quick sale, I will let it go for £3,300 delivered at my costs.
The deal will go strictly according to eBay Buyer Protection rules and policy.
Thank you

me
ok,sounds like a plan but would much rather hand over cash on inspection of the machine,do you have a contact number for me to arrange a meet in scotland as it would be no bother for me as my uncle has a logistics business in scotland and he would deliver to me free of charge,please confirm a meet and a quick deal

sarah

I will not be able to arrange cod service but eBay will provide us a safe and convenient way to proceed.
Here is how the process works with the eBay Buyer Protection Program:


- you give me your full name and shipping address
- I start the transaction with the eBay,
- they send further payment instructions,
- you have to pay for the item to eBay to secure the funds,
- they confirm me that they received the funds,
- I deliver the digger,

- you receive the digger,
- they send me the money,


Everything is covered by eBay. I will get paid only after you confirm that you received the digger in good order.
Let me know if this is acceptable. Thank you

me

hi,im being intrusive but why cant you do cod?i find that strange?tell me if im speaking out of term but i find it odd that your so reluctant to do business the correct way?maybe you can reconsider?

sarah
this is the only way I can sell it

i did not reply as i didnt want to entertain.I have a question for ebay and autotrader,why is it that i shop around online and find it easy to pick these scammers out ,why is it that ebay and autotrader do not work with the police to catch these fraudsters and allow them to commit acts of fraud on unsuspecting honest hard working folk,these frauds are massive and have an effect on the people who get cheated out of thousands.there are quite a few scammers active right now and something needs to be done to stop them,how can we move things forward to take action against them,from what i can tell there is just not enough being done to stop these frauds by the police and ebay,autotrader,maybe we should contact the managing directors of these companys and appeal to them to take action or contact the ombudsman if they are not prepared to do anything about it ! Anyone got any thoughts on this,just to be clear,i am not afraid to speak out about these criminals and action needs to be took now!
