I came across a nice Fiat 500, down in Fareham
on Ebay for £1800 !

I emailed the seller (registered the same day as the auction..:S)
and got the classic reply:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eB ayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=120173894242&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=002

" Hello, I am selling this car for £1,800.00 including delivery anywhere in UK.I set at a "very, very low" price to guarantee a sale. The only reason is that I need cash for a family emergency. I have to tell you that I'm currently out of town with some major problems so pick up/view isn't an option. If you want to buy this vehicle email me back with your full name and address to start the official procedure trough eBay. They will send you a notification with ALL the info regarding delivery, purchase protection and refund policy so please provide your details before more questions. You will find 90% of answers in that notification from eBay! Thanks "

I mean, do they think people are stupid.? I know it only takes one nieve person to fall for it, shame .. I was half hoping it was genuine..

Do they all come from the same place? If you look this bit "to start the official procedure trough eBay." is always spelt wrong. Get your nose in the ebay trough

Ive given up on reporting them, with the most minor of indiscretions been jumped upon by ebay they let these auctions run the distance no matter how many people report the item.

i've just asked can i collect the car today and i can pay you in momoploy money.

i said the car is so good i am willing to pay you £3000 (monopoly) for it.

I have done a bit of fraud reporting to ebay, but they never respond except through automated messages...makes you wonder if they really do anything about it???

It's a classified, not an auction, so e-bay will say they have no responsibility, as would your local paper.

This could be stopped in an instance.

If our useless gov. made Ebay totally liable for fraud losses it would stop PDQ.

I live in Fareham, want me to beat him up?

Sorry dude, BIG scam. I nearly got caught out with a 1967 E-Type for £2500

Iv just emailed the 'seller' asking for a picture of the underside
I very much doubt i will get a reply

i offered £3000 in monopoly 20s and could collect today.

he/she asked for my name address and phone number so i gave him ....wait for it.

dell trotter
nelson mandella house

he could call me to arrange the money transfer on 0800555111 (crime stoppers)

if i wasnt there he could sort it with my brother rodney.

he emailed me back telling me i was a person who played with myself (wa**er)
