    "How does the scam work?"


    First, you make contact:-





    If you send an email you will get a reply within a day or two. That message will tell you that (in this case) the BSA A75 Rocket 3 is still available and you can have it for £3380, possibly less. The same message will include an email address for you to send your reply (i.e. outside of eBay). If you do send an email, you will be asked again if you are willing and able to buy and pay for the car. Any questions you ask about seeing the car will be swept aside - for example the seller is out of the country. You will be assured that if you pay into a PayPal account (sometimes Google or Amazon) your money will be absolutely secure. This is all pure fabrication but some people fall for it. If you agree to these terms - which include a 7-day money back guarantee - you will be sent an invoice online, and it will appear to have been sent to you by PayPal (or a similar household name like Google or Amazon). The invoice will contain the bank details for you to transfer the amount - £3380 in this case - and the account you will see on the invoice is usually at Barclays, TSB or Lloyds. Once you have sent the money, that's it. You've lost it. No police investigation is likely to take place, and any report to ActionFraud will in all probability result in no 'action' at all. the money will be lost and there is no chance of recovery. The criminals keep a very close eye online on credits to these bank accounts and as soon as a payment is received, they withdraw it quickly - often within an hour and in person. Then the money disappears out of the country.
