I have nearly been caught out with this scam this week so please be aware people!.. contacted by a man calling himself Chris for short but real name was Christian who has an eastern European accent.
Claimed he was living in Dawlish in Devon. He managed to send me the exact same pictures as already shown on here.
After you have shown interest in the van he will take it it off Ebay and then he will contact you by email only, He will send you an Ebay invoice with his bank details on and ask you to deposit the money for the vehicle in there before you get to look at it. It all looks very genuine but believe my its not and it is very clever!
I'm not sure if the vehicle even exists.. luckily i found that it was a scam and he is a fraudster before i parted with any money
