Hi all,
I was ripped off recently with a mini digger scam on ebay which i reported to both ebay and the police, ebay just were'nt interested and took the details the police said it was an eastern european's operting in the london area and said there was not much hope of getting my money back as they had already withdrawn the cash from there bank (opened with fake documents).
I have now come across the same scammer back on ebay for the fourth time doing the same thing. I keep notifiying ebay and the police, but all that happens is they get booted off ebay only the re apear with a different user name a dodgy bank account.
Here's the latest encarnation of this scammer i found today on ebay, doing the usuall crap.

Hello,
The digger is 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 £3,800 delivered at my costs.
The deal will go strictly according to eBay Buyer Protection rules and policy.
Thank you
Louise
