I spoke with them several weeks ago on this and gave them lots of research/background on the scams.

I didn't want to do that, but I had to as the scammers sent it to me as a PDF so I couldn't copy and paste it. OK I could have WRITTEN it myself I suppose but I'm so busy busting!

Next time if the same thing happens I could forward the email to Tools if you like

Another one bites the dust - please can the mule-kickers kick this to death

Relates to an eBay listing for a 2007 VW Caravelle posted and deleted on Friday 14-Nov-14

Dear Philip Meridan, Thanks for using PayPal. The seller has requested the payment through PayPal and we offered to cover all the risks for you and the seller. It is our responsibility to inform Buyers about our Sellers. You are dealing with a verified PayPal member, protected by our PayPal services such as insurance and dispute resolution, and you may buy and sell with confidence in all eBay transactions with this seller. You should proceed accordingly to complete the transaction in a safe manner. The following is a notice from PayPal Trust & Safety Department regarding: Item Title -2007 VOLKSWAGEN CARAVELLE SE TDI 130 SILVER Item Number - 231389984915 Item Price - £4,800.00 Buy safely using eBay's Buyer Protection Program This vehicle is eligible for up to £10,000 in Buyer Protection when your transaction is completed through PayPal Complete the transaction in 5 easy, secure and safe steps! 1. eBay accepts the transaction and offers purchase protection to the buyer (if the transaction is declined, no further action is required from either the buyer or the seller); 2. All information received will be processed by PayPal under the direct review of eBay Inc. 3. The Buyer follows instructions and sends the payment to the assigned PayPal representative bank account. After the payment is cleared and verified by PayPal under the review of eBay Inc, it will be secured into a non-interest bearing trust account. Payment being secured, the Seller is notified by PayPal to deliver the vehicle to the Buyer. The Seller has 5 (five) business days to start the deliver procedure. The seller must deliver the vehicle for inspection along with the certificate of title, signed Bill of sale in the Buyer's name, all keys and all ownership documents. The vehicle must be delivered along with all documentation requested by the Buyer in order to allow him to change the registration in his name as soon as he will decide to accept it after the inspection period will be over. If no delivery procedure is started, a full refund is immediately sent to the Buyer. As soon as the delivery procedure will start, the Buyer should wait for the vehicle and documentation to be delivered. 4. After the inspection period is over, the Buyer must contact PayPal with the result of the inspection of the vehicle. The Buyer receives the vehicle and has 5-7 (five-seven) business days to inspect it. The inspection period will not begin until PayPal has confirmed delivery of the vehicle by either Buyer’s or shipper’s notification. 5. If he refuses it a full refund is immediately sent to the Buyer if the reason that determined the Buyer not to keep the vehicle is strictly related to the vehicle's condition i.e (different from what the seller has advertised, described and agreed to sell to you). The Seller will have the obligation to make all necessary arrangements in order to take the vehicle from Buyer’s possession in maximum 3 (three) business days. If the vehicle and documentation are as advertised, described and agreed, the Buyer should accept it. If the Buyer accepts the vehicle, the payment will be sent to the Seller within 3 (three) business days. How to proceed from this moment? The conventional method of transferring funds to a PayPal member cannot be used due to the large amount that must be paid. Payment must be submitted via bank transfer to the PayPal representative bank account assigned for this transaction. PayPal will secure the payment until the Buyer receives, inspects and accepts the vehicle. Or, if it is the case, PayPal will refund the payment to the Buyer. Protecting the security of your payment is our primary concern. PayPal representative Bank account* : Payment details: Bank Name: Natwest Account number: 40501981 Sort code: 52-41-00 Beneficiary Name: C. L *Bacs, CHAPS and Faster Payments are accepted. Invoice#: 121-4159 Subtotal: £4,800.00 Shipping(Free): £0.00 Deposit: £0.00 Total: £4,800.00 Consult your bank or financial institution for more information on how to complete a bank transfer. Please note that it is extremely important to use the exact details of the account. The beneficiary name must be as written above. Include "121-4159" on the "reference" field of the bank transfer instructions. Failure to use the exact information as stated above will result in your bank transfer being returned to you at your own expense. We recommend the online transfer system, because it saves a considerable amount of time.Online Banking saves you the trouble of going to a bank and wasting your valuable time (payments can also be made on the weekends). If this is your first time making an online transfer, please go to your bank’s website in order to read about the procedure. The electronic transfer from bank to bank is considered to be the safest international payment method. The transfer data are transmitted through an encrypted communication channel. CONFIDENTIALITY AND NON-DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT * Do not disclose any information related to your PayPal purchase agreement to any third parties (i.e 1. your seller, 2. your bank) 1. Of to where your funds are being sent. 2. The actual reason the bank transfer is to be sent to your assigned representative. Questions? Please do not reply to this email.
