eeb43 Posted January 12, 2019 Report Posted January 12, 2019 scam gone now loads on ebay tonight again
meXEco Posted January 12, 2019 Report Posted January 12, 2019 They're back-looked yesterday and 7-8 full pages I had to trawl thru before getting to the legit stuff-shocking how long it takes Ebay to remove them and how easy it is for them to hack in first place-getting fed up with Ebay nowadays.
chinkamon Posted January 12, 2019 Author Report Posted January 12, 2019 I bought a new shed for 30 quid I was so excited at such a bargain that was a scam, can't think how gutted I'd b buying a car the same way!
Moderator Rally Pack 2000 Posted January 13, 2019 Moderator Report Posted January 13, 2019 I missed it. What was the item?
meXEco Posted January 13, 2019 Report Posted January 13, 2019 Just search uk ebays classic cars section-under the main description it usually says 'all paperwork included-buy it now £5000-you may loose this opportunity' etc. then the description claims he's on holiday and to mail directly to blahblah@gmail etc. with what the car is in the title-check other items usually another 100 cars all with the same M.O. can spot them a mile off.
meXEco Posted January 13, 2019 Report Posted January 13, 2019 Heres one. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Elddis-4-Berth-Crusader-Supersirocco/283337633647?hash=item41f83d2f6f:g:YfwAAOSwEVlcOzyE

meXEco Posted January 13, 2019 Report Posted January 13, 2019 No I mean remove them from the main page-you usually still have to scroll thru pages to get to the real stuff-theres still loads on there now.
meXEco Posted January 13, 2019 Report Posted January 13, 2019 Well they seem to be getting quicker at removing them now from searches-yesterday there were 8 whole pages of newly listed ones I had to scroll thru-if you clicked the link it would say item removed-but the search page would still show them-weird.
colr6 Posted January 13, 2019 Report Posted January 13, 2019 Pity they don’t remove the v5s that are for sale complete with vins as quick, I’ve reported 30/40 which are blatant ringing sales but nothing!
notenoughtime Posted January 13, 2019 Report Posted January 13, 2019 It’s the same scammer as email is virtually the same every time ‘cara@‘ something
khanlad Posted January 13, 2019 Report Posted January 13, 2019 I report them as soon as i see them, always same items , same bollox written, didnt someone off here email asking if a rs 2 could tow a caravan or something? I love to waste their time a bit but havent got the time. 1
meXEco Posted January 13, 2019 Report Posted January 13, 2019 I always want to ask silly questions etc. but am worried they'll hack my account so never bother.

preacherman Posted January 13, 2019 Report Posted January 13, 2019 I report them but dont engage in any conversation. I once did this and a few weeks later they had some of my profile info and were selling some bits that I had previously sold.
