  2. My van appeared for 'sale' on eBay last week. Reported to eBay and the police, heard nothing back. Took days for the ad to be removed, and 3 offers had been made on it.

    Bloody chancers. :mad:

  4. Did some more investigating and the e-mail address I found under his e-bay user name lead me to this profile on facebook, funnily enough this person is in Stoke-on-Trent and is called "Immy Raxstar Rashid." which ties up with the Google photo account!! Hmm is this person just really thick or do they have fake profiles everywhere???

  9. so you have his facebook, his google photo, screentshots of him trying to sell a van that isn't his..
    surely thats enough to take to the cops?
     
  10. Reported to the National Fraud Authority, they have said that if anyone else wants to report it too to contact them, the more evidence they have the better. Reported under reference: NSRC120200316119

    Tuesday wildchild I'm a circle!

    Are you being fare the seller has 172 positive feedback and 0 negative but it is a bit odd when you click to see other items being sold you get the ebay buyer protection page :thinking:
     
  13. I am almost certain that the black camper is one that was used in a TV show a while ago, I forget what it was called. The van and the surroundings in the picture look really familiar.

    I will do some Googling!
     
  14. I know... plus Ebay never heard of seller and Item number doesn't exist... but hey... times are hard so I'll deffo pay £3400 for it if they need the cash!! LOL

  15. Thanks DottyDaisy... I'd love to find out who owns both of them so I could warn em their pics are getting used!! The Cream and Blue one is apparently in Gwent!! :)

  16. The seller of the black one on the "Private Auction" is called kayb200 and it says that they are based in Scotland. I just did a member search on ebay and it came up with a member with the same name with 172 feedbacks but based in Cheshire with no items for sale!!!

    I Googled the e-mail address on the "Private Auction" but nothing apart from that came up, also entered it into facebok and nothing!

    Maybe the real kayb200 needs to knowtheir identity is being used, may just send them a message.
     
  17. Thanks!!! :) I'll send them a message from my account then I can give em the information I've got off the scammer!! :)
    Luv XCX
