Craigslist, Ebay and other online buying/selling scams.

I've recently found a scam on Kijiji and ebay. They are selling a 2003 Jayco Granite Ridge for 5000. When you click to email them, they say they are going through Cabot and Campbell Consignment. If you go to their webpage, it is very impressive! But its all a scam. If you goggle street all their depot addresses, they are trailer parks, condos, etc. Their bank is located in London and the fax numbers you have to fax the wire transfer receipt are in Florida, Nevada and California. I found an old ebay ad of the actual owner that had sold it. I sent him the photos they sent me and everything down to the description was lifted from his ebay ad.

If you google Cabot and Campbell reviews, you find people asking if anyone had dealt with them and there's lots of positive remarks.

Dont be fooled! Its a scam. Never send money to anyone! Do not send money to Cabot and Campbell! The person that I dealt with was a Susan Barring but who knows who it really was. I'm sure there are lots of people being taken in. Keep your money safe!

Welcome to Scamwarners nslady36.

It would be interesting to know what the name of the UK bank was, if you were given it. There are an awful lot of bank accounts in the UK being used to launder stolen funds and it would be interesting to know if they're being used in frauds outside the UK. It has happened before but it would be unusual if it were an isolated incident. It might be the precursor to a new wave of frauds. Obviously no bank accounts in the UK should be used this way but if a wave of cross-border frauds occur, the problems it creates are unpredictable.

CAR ADVERTS - If a car seller mentions escrow - he's scamming you Never ever for any reason pay anything until you have seen and inspected the vehicle
