Default Re: Ebay Scam

I came across a similar scam when I saw a 2005 Imprezza STI for $10,000 on cars.com. I emailed the person seeing this car should be atleast $25k. They came back saying they moved to the UK and the car was in storage at Ebay. They said they would accept western union. By then I knew it was obviously a fraud, so I asked if we could use an escrow system. They said that they would use some type of system but after looking it they only garrantted purchases up to $500. I then proceed to get the guy full hot saying how I wanted to use escrow.com. I then reported him to cars.com and ebay, neither of which emailed me back. I noticed that the adds were removed, so I emailed cars and ebay back asking why they removed them, they wouldn't answer me. I said that this was on there sites and I was going to complete the transaction (thinking they might tell me if they knew I was getting scammed) they said they weren't responsible for any transactions outside of their sites.... Be careful.

Default Re: Ebay Scam

This boat has been listed at least a half dozen times in the past 4 to 6 weeks or more. I've been watching and wondering what the deal is. Didn't persue because it's not what I'm after. I wouldn't contact these suspects via any communication. What surprises me is that they are able to relist and Ebay lets it happen. They better get the Bobbies and the Yard to work and sting them quick. B-E-W-A-R-E
