instro Member 67 Member For: 20y 4m 20d Location: South Coast NSW Posted 09/02/07 09:58 AM Posted 09/02/07 09:58 AM Yeah it happened with a car I was selling. Had it on ebay, some lowlife grabbed all the photos and details (including the rego)from my add and listed it on drive.com for about a third of the redbook value.They gave a dodgy phone number and a hotmail address.The scam goes like this, eager buyer finds bargain they have to have, the phone number doesnt work emails go back and forth, a deposit goes through western union money transfer......buyer gets ripped off.The police weren't interested, ebay weren't interested all drive offered to do was remove the add.

Caveat emptor, I can't believe anyone would still fall for these types of scams.
