  • motorhome scam on ebay / gumtree / autotrader

    thanks to legalbeagles I was alerted to the ebay scam on a motorhome I was intrested in buying in fort william I was also on the brink of transferring monies on another motorhome a said FIAT LUNAR ROADSTAR786 REG NO RX55 HOH
    after reading your forum it was the usual brief moved to Scotland on work will deliver paypal /ebay money back deal thankfully
    I was alerted to this before I parted with any money
    after scanning Ebay again today there are lots of new listings with the same sp looks like the scammers are having a field day
    if like me you are looking to buy a motorhome take care don't part with money before you see the goods

    thanks to everyone who helped save me money

    Re: motorhome scam

    Hi Hondaboy

    Thanks for letting us know. Could you give us a link to the listing - have you reported it ?

    Where did you find the advert and what stage in the email comms have you got to ? Have you told the scammer you aren't going ahead ? If not could you get the 'invoice' and bank details out of them ?

    Could you also post any emails you have had from the ''seller'' ?

      Hi Amethyst
      the item is no longer listed I started to get a bit weary when the item no she supplied was not active on ebay as the emails went along they seemed genuine and as previous stated from other parties the live link on the paypal invoice stated you can buy with
      confidence (very clever)
      I have not reported this incident I guess you think I should (who is best to report this to)
      and at this time I have not told the scammer I wil not be completing should I ?

        Re: motorhome scam

        Can you forward me the emails and ''paypal'' invoice especially if you got the bank account details on it. admin@legalbeagles.info . ( if they HAVE managed to get someone to pay this morning getting the a/c shut down might just save someone losing everything )

        Yes report it to Action Fraud - and the listing to the site you found the advert on. They won't be proactive or particularly interested but it DOES help.

        Don't reply to the Scammer just yet, I'll get Tools to look in shortly.

            ''Due to my location and since view is not an option I will agree for a 5-7 days of full inspection period ( after the date you receive the motorhome ). This means that you have 7 days to inspect the motorhome for any damages and decide if you want to keep it or not! ''

            This the right one ?

                      should I take pleasure in now telling the scammer there not getting paid or shall I let them keep thinking they might be a pay day around the corner?

                        You can tell them now we've got the bank account, or you can tell them you tried to make the transfer and it got bounced back to you see if they have an alternative account ?

                        How did you find us btw ? Was it a google search on the van name ?
