Default Ebay Scam

Scam

To good to be true, but I figured I'd check it out before FBT did!

Correspondence:


Hello,

I’m interested in your Seacraft on Ebay. What’s the Buy it now price?


Hello there!

Buy It Now for $4000!
I will pay for shipping!
I am located in London,U.K.!
The boat is stored at eBay warehouse in Kansas City, MO , the boat will be
shipped from there on my expence .
Terms & Conditions Shipping and handling:
The shipping address must be provided before sending the payment. The
boat will be shipped trough DAS Shipping Company . The boat will only
be sent after receiving the payment. I agreed with eBay to send my boat
to its warehouse since I am not in US .This way, both sides (seller and buyer)
are insured by eBay.
If the boat is different than the way i've described it, 100% refund - transfer
fees and the boat will be shipped back to eBay's warehouse on my expence.
Anyway, I don't think it will be necesary, you'll love this boat from very
first moment you'll see it.

Buy with confidence!

Brian

Is the boat title free and clear? How did you come to have this boat? Who do I contact at Ebay to determine if this is a scam?

Hello again,

The title is clear.
If you are ready to purchase this boat I can contact eBay and they will send you an invoice for your purchase.

Thanks,

Brian

How do you want payment? Thru Paypal?


At this time the payment method that I prefer is via westernunion.

Thanks for understanding,

Brian

Good luck selling it, I found one for even cheaper on Ebay, and the guy will take cash. I'm sending him cash in the mail tomorrow. Plus he’s going to ship it on an 18 wheeler right to my front door.

God, you got to love Ebay…
