Help Me Avoid An Ebay Scam

It's a smelly ad. Avoid.

 

It may have disappeared

 

yep - car, bike and digger all disappeared in a puff of smoke

 

Pepsi and Shirley too

 

Ahhhhhhhh. I followed the thread and was getting more and more intrigued

 

shame - an eight grand porsche 911 seemed a good deal....

 

Years ago before Sat Nav and mobiles in the days of the advertising paper, Motor Mart, I thought I’d bought a Zip racing Kart for my Son..

Agreed a price etc and asked the Guy on the phone regarding picking the kart up “ are you about tomorrow and whereabouts are you?”
He replied“ Can be and Ireland”

“ Brilliant I will see you tomorrow, I will call you again when I’m on the Island”

Only an hours drive or so away.
With one very excited Junior in my Transit van We spotted a telephone box and rang the number telling the guy we were on the island and asked exactly where about was he?
His reply shook me in my boots,

“Crikey” he said, “you must have caught the early ferry then! “

“Ferry, What Ferry? “I asked..

“Well,” he said, “ unless your one amazing swimmer, the Car Ferry! “

I felt really sick! What I thought I’d heard as, Canvey Island, was actually “Can be And Ireland” as in Eire..

The Kart was, and as far as I know, still is, in Ireland, and not Canvey Island Essex ..

The accent should have had me Quizzing the location I guess but I just thought he might have been one of our traveller friends and based in Glorious Essex for a while...

Good Thread 9/10

 

I honestly can't believe you were even considering it.

 

but they are getting better and better at laying their traps, as said, "everyone loves a bargain". I can think of many times when I hesitated and missed one, it's a fine edge.

 

But maybe, just maybe, someone went around to his place with £7500 cash, and its now sitting on their drive!

 

That car at that money was so far beyond a fine edge it was a stupid bit of attempted fraud imho.

 

Agree. This one didn’t have the usual hallmarks of the previous scams. Not sure what the market value for that Porsche is but if had been more realistically “we’ll priced” It would have gone unnoticed until some poor sod got their fingers burnt.

 

This one is a scam or is it??

Yep definitely!! Look at the other items. But a good one!!

 

Tried to report it but I get an error asking for the item number of the item that has ended? It's still there at the moment...

 

100%

 

Nah the vinyl records he had.
