Reported to eBay for fraud 15-Sep-14 at 18:15
Vehicle Scam #167 for September 2014 (all on eBay UK)
Scam total now 12,112since April 2013
*******
The people behind the above scam have hacked into an innocent person's eBay account.
These same people have copied and pasted the images shown in the scam from a genuine advertisement from days, weeks or months ago
Any emails sent to that hacked eBay account will - until the scam is shut down - be intercepted by the scammers
Emails sent will not be received by the Hacked Account Owner
Any email enquiries will generate a response asking the interested party to communicate by an independent email address (i.e. outside eBay)
The scammers will say that it is not possible to view the vehicle
Instead, full payment will be demanded and free delivery will be promised
Payments will be paid into a fictitious ESCROW account
******
"How do you know this is a scam?"
Because I telephoned the HAO 11sellingthings(157) and he told me himself! He said he had been inundated with phone calls - he sounded annoyed but grateful that I could get the scam removed ASAP
