BEWARE of this eBayer Seller

This guy tried to con one of my friends with his motorhome
He goes by the name of Ron and had a 2004 AUTO SLEEPER NUEVO ES MOTORHOME posted on eBay
My friend saved it in his favourites then he thought about it and wanted to buy it
But when he wanted to buy it wasnt there, thought it must have been sold but he got a reply from the seller :

First I have to let you know that I have earlier ended my ebay auction because some "serious buyers" that wanted to buy my motorhome, but in the end they did not have the money to pay for it... So the motorhome is still for sale.
I know that you have many choices on eBay and I appreciate that you contacted me. I'm retired, separated from my wife and I own a holiday house in Spain, Barcelona. I was forced to have moved here and the motorhome is also here with me, I took it with me, because I had to many things to carry.
The camper was gently used by me and my ex. wife only and it is in perfect conditions, is still registered in United Kingdom as you can see plate numbers from the photos !
Excellent condition, the bodywork is immaculate, no scratches, dents or hidden defects as well as the interior in excellent. I'm the registered keeper and there is no outstanding finance on the motorhome, also the motorhome comes with a full service history.
Pick-up is available also. Shipping from Barcelona can be arranged at a very best value (maximum 700 pounds and half it will be covered by me), so the price for my motorhome is 6,400 + 350(half of the delivery)= 6,750.00 GBP !
I want this transaction to be as smooth as possible so I will only close the sale trough eBay for our own protection.
Anyway if you are really interested in this motorhome and you need more photos or details, please reply because I have a lot of interested customers!
I look forward to hearing from you soon.

So after my friend got this he was a bit dubious and he asked a few more questions regarding the motorhome, to see if he could see some inside pictures or more details.. he got this :

I have attached to this email some photos and a copy of my passport so that you know who you are dealing with.
Here you can see the movie with the interior: http://www.youtube.com/v/xlVeNX5-IMk
The motorhome comes with the registration plates that you see on the photos. I'm the register keeper of the motorhome and I'm the legal owner after divorce. The V5 is on my name.
The motorhome is in Barcelona, Spain , we can not use it here because is very difficult to drive it here because here we use the right side of the road and left hand cars.
I went to a local dealer and they said they can only give me 2,500 - 3,000 EUR, because the steering wheel is on the right side and here in Spain nobody will buy it, so they need to break it and sell the parts, this why I have decided to sell it alone.
At the moment I am on holiday and I will be back in the Spain on Friday 30 March.
The motorhome is in very good condition, no leaks or any other form of damages, serviced only on Peugeot, the motorhome was used used only by me and my ex wife!
The camper is still registered in United Kingdom with a valid MOT until July and TAXED until August !
Along with it you will also receive the full service book and all the documents that you need to register the camper in your name, a buy-sell contract already signed by me !
I chose to ship using O.S.W. and I put the camper in their warehouse before leaving in my holiday, the price for transport agreement with the delivery company is about 700 GBP, which includes insurance during transport. (half of the delivery price, it will be covered by me), so that the final price of the motorhome will be 6,400 + 350 (half of the delivery charges) = 6,750 GBP.
At this time, the motorhome is at O.S.W., was inspected by them and you have the following options:
(eBay will manage the financial part of this deal, I will only close this deal using ebay, and not outside of ebay)

1 - Send the payment to eBay by bank transfer (ebay escrow) !
After that I will begin the delivery process, you will receive the camper in maximum 9 days, after receiving of the camper you will have 7 inspection days, and after that you will have to release the money from eBay in order for them to transfer it to me...
If something is different from the one I just described osw will take the camper back and eBay will send you your money within 24 hours, but this will not be the case.
2 - With 1000 GBP deposit at eBay, I can keep the motorhome until I'll be back from my holiday (30 March) and you'll need to come to Barcelona, Spain so that we can close the deal in person.

If you choose first option, you need to know:
-- Payment by bank transfer, you will send the payment directly to an ebay account.
-- Shipping will take no longer then 9 days and the camper will be delivered where you want in UK !
I need a fast and smoothly transaction without any kind of complications and I think I have done my best to provide you with a fast and very safe solution !
If you decide to buy my motorhome please give me the following details:

Your eBay user id :
Your full name :
Delivery address:
Your phone number:

What I will do with your details?
I will send them to eBay in order to open case regarding our deal, after that you will be in touch with eBay, they will send you the invoice of payment and everything that you need to know, in order for you to finish the financial part of this transaction. I will also make delivery arrangements and I will get an exact quote from the delivery company also i will get a tracking number, so you will be able to track the status of the delivery online.
Best Regards and I'm looking forward for your reply ...

These are the pics he sent : 1.jpg2.jpg

So he checked this out by contacting ebay.. no reply after a few days by email so he then decided to phone them..

They told him ..basically NO!.. the item number he put for the listing showed as Hello Kitty!
They dont know how he did it and basically told him that never pay full amount for a vehicle only deposit till you see the vehicle.

So..whenever you think something is to good to be true it usually is!
Oh this is the guys email and passport (if this is real too)

email : ronesmc@btinternet.com

I cant belive anyone would be daft enough to think that they could get a motorhome like that for less than 7k...for starters...............then its 'apparently' in barcelona......I know there are scams going off all the time,when will people ever learn there are no unbelievable bargains to be had,especially from foreign countries..
 
Some one once offered me 12k for my boat, it was advertised at 7k,but htey said they liked it that much they were prepared to pay over the odds for it, only thing i had to do was give them my bank details, they would transfer the funds immediately and then arrange transport, to Canada,:cool1: some folk must fall for it cos they just keep on doing it, its mad

i get this every time i put a car up for sale
 
If anyone sees any thing like this on ebay in Spain and it looks a scam please let me know just before Christmas last year a friend saw one and everyone thought it was a scam so i went to look at it because it was only a short drive away and he ended up with a nice motorhome for 4grand cheaper than he could have got in England with all the exerts fitted so i will always look. if it is with in 2 hours drive
Thanks safe travel
 
thats what makes these scams believable,some are true.seen a lot of this inportugal must be the same in spain,where you have 2 motors and the cops are hassling you to import,which is endless and expensive,so's taking it back,sometimes its easier to get rid at a loss,bargain if you're coming back!
 
There are some people that do fall for it though and hand over the cash without asking or finding out more from a friend or relative.
Feel sorry for the people that do.. :mad2:

So If you go abroad anytime soon and see this van or the person ... make sure no ones looking .. :hammer:

thats the difference ken,you were a 2 hour drive away,,,,but to start dishing cash out on a motor you havnt seen in person,for me is just plain stupid,,,even more so when its in a different country.
 
ahahaaaa

The old saying is "if its too good to be true, then it normally is"

I had some person trying that with me, they soon backed off when I said i was in Spain for a job so could look at the van and pay a deposit in cash.... never heard from them again!
 
The guy's passport shows him as being British, and his name too is British, but his language is obviously NOT British. While I know there are lots of British people who have trouble putting two words together, his grammar gave him away!

Ebay is a joke ...after recieving an email from them yesterday saying thanks for informng us regarding this ebayer I recieved this today from them :

Thank you for your email regarding the seller "uniqueposh_inc" for the lollipops display (item 270928417972) that you told us about.

In fact, the item ended without a winning bidder. It appears that someone has tricked you into sending them

money for this item outside of eBay.

I suggest you contact your trading partenr regarding this.

Here is how you can request for the trading partner's contact information:

1. Click 'Advanced ' at the top of the eBay homepage.
2. Click 'Find Contact Information' on the left-hand side of the page.
3. Enter the item number for the relevant purchase. You can find the item number in My eBay. Click 'Search'.

If you want you can use this link just kindly open a new browser:

eBay scam what to do Ron Ron !!!

Can we not offer fantastic money and not pay!! Maybe string them along for a while and eventually send a message that we know what the dirty little foreign scammers about! Does this affect our eBay ratings? Oh and keep telling eBay giving the whole procedure a 'operation ---------' name maybe the eBay computer gathers and logs it more seriously!
