TR6GAZ Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 Iv found this tr6 on ebay...its worth much more than what its up for, the ebayer has no history in selling, based in the uk only. If you look closely its got the tr stickers in the windscreen...do you know this car?? It looks like a scam to me!!! It wont paste to here but the ebay item number is 111516938541 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mike3739 Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 Spotted also but has yet to contact me. Cheers Mike. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TR6GAZ Posted November 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 Its a scam...it has to be, you have to contact the seller outside of ebay too. I just hope someone just doesn't fall for it and shed out 5k for a car they will never own! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Alec Pringle Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 You mean this one http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/111516938541?ru=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fsch%2Fi.html%3F_from%3DR40%26_sacat%3D0%26_nkw%3D111516938541%26_rdc%3D1 the chap only joined eBay on 30 October, and he's selling all these . . . . . http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/xyp200/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_ipg=&_from= Absolutely amazing selection of stock, and photographed over quite some period from the look of the background foliage . . . . .

saggy Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 It sort of begs the question... is it just photos of vehicles that belong to someone else... or are the owners currently wondering where their vehicles might just be right now? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Johncracknell Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 I think I know who owns the Karman ghia - and it isn't this fella !!!!!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
grumpy2 Posted November 16, 2014 Report Share Posted November 16, 2014 It's a scam, I had my ebay account compromised by this fella who used my id to try and sell a tractor! It'll all get pulled soon and spring up again soon with another ID Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TR6GAZ Posted November 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 Its such a shame that some chap out there more than likely will fall for it! Id love to throttle the bloke behind it, but hes probably in Nigeria selling guns too! That Jensen interceptor sold for 17200 this is the original listing number 191334752331 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Alec Pringle Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 If you look at an eBay listing and it looks fraudulent, it probably is . . . . so report it. Immediately above the description, right of your screen and above the item number is Report item - click on it This opens a new screen, from the three little boxes select Listing practices, then Fraudulent listing activities, then You suspect that a listing is fraudulent, and then click Continue, screen refreshes and press Send report . . . . that's it, job done Cheers Alec Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TR6GAZ Posted November 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 haha so cheap wasn't it....its funny, a friend of mine "bought" a 06 vw transporter sportline for £4000 (easy 7000 van), excellent condition, huge rims, body kit. He got soo sucked in about the fact he found a sportline that cheap he contacted them, a few emails exchanged, payed the money straight into an account online and bam...not an email back. He told us this in the pub, pulled up the emails and it looked like they had been written by 2 year old, not one line made sense! Police cant do a thing as its a civil dispute, cant trace where the money went...all because he didn't ask a mate what he thought of it and got sucked in by the cheapness, if its too cheap ITS NOT REAL!!

flatlandsman Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 If something appears to be too good to be true, then in all probablity it very likely is!!Nothing is more easily parted than a fool and his money. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kcsun Posted November 18, 2014 Report Share Posted November 18, 2014 (edited) I can understand a lot of the scams, but I would NEVER buy a vehicle without looking at it first. Even if I only kick the tyres and take it for a 5 minute drive. Is this something new, buying vehicles without seeing them first???? kc PS yes I have a 2013 Sportline LWB and no its not for sale hehe Edited November 18, 2014 by kcsun Quote Link to post Share on other sites

racey Posted November 23, 2014 Report Share Posted November 23, 2014 after reporting this listing to Ebay it still remains active like an illegal primed gin trap waiting to snare it's prey BUT, this morning I also noticed that as well as it still being listed - the user ID has changed but still the same item number! how do they do that??

KOB Posted November 24, 2014 Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 What one has to aware of is that ebay and paypal are completely untrustworthy organisations that have no place in a controlled environment. This is of course my opinion but one founded from being an un planned participant in an ebay/paypal scam that clearly was sanctioned by ebay. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
elclem1 Posted November 24, 2014 Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 What people should always remember, you don,t get owt for nowt! Any Yorkshireman will tell you that. As a regular e bayer, if it is too good to be true it usually is. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AlanT Posted November 24, 2014 Report Share Posted November 24, 2014 I've bought several hundred items on ebay and NEVER failed to get a fair deal. On occasion I've not got quite what I expected and I have had to hassle to get my money back on one purchase. Stuff has come from USA, China, HK, KL and the only surprise has been customs dues which seem to penalise the USA in comparision to the far-east. You take a risk if you walk to the shops and buy a packet of razor-blades. Having said that I have a "comfort-level" of a few hundred quid. Buying a car without meeting the buyer and seeing the car! .... you've got to be joking!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
