Thats just so good ive gone and but my buy it now proposition to the guy whose selling it! even if it doesnt work i bet you could get 5k by selling it for parts!

[MartinC]

theres no way they will sell for that price will they :duh:

I wonder what they say when you email them to be put on the pre approved bidders list, might just do that

I emailed the guy at the weekend when it was up for sale and asked if I could view it the next day - no response and eBay shut it down.

[lexicon]

The "seller" seems not to know anything about it (see the asked questions)

[Andy_F]

Very strange. Thats got to be some kind of fraud.

[discus]

I also e-mailed him last week to ask how long had he owned the car, service history etc. No reply.

If he had interest at £9,700 why is he asking £5K now????

Do not touch this one!!

[waddy]

Fishier than an Anchovy's fanny methinks !

Barge pole, don't touch with !

IF this is a legit IS, then someone will have a bargain on their hands.....

Looks like his eBay account has been cloned, another example of that scummy environment

Took this from the listing:

Q: My wife and i are very interested in this car but we are both concerned about the milage being so low, is this genuine? with full service history?

A: I don't know what is going on, but this add is on my eBay page and I didn't list this item. I am in the process of trying to cancel this auction. I live in the USA and this is a surprize to me.

I emailed him a couple of days ago when it was listed. I offered to buy the car there and then but he said that the car was in Greece as he had just moved there and could not get on with a right hand drive car. He wanted to do a sale through Triple Deal. This involves me paying the full amount to Triple Deal. I have an inspection period of 7 days. If I send the car back I get my money back if I keep the car they then pay the amount to the seller. Here is the catch, the inspection period starts from the sale date and the car wont arrive for about 9 days so there is no chance to view.

SCAM!!!!!

Hijacked account- I'm sure some poor mug will loose their hard earned cash!

[Damer]

Can't one of our police members run a check on the number plate of the car? That could either warn someone that their car is being offered or find out who the culprit is?

[Kazi]

Smells a bit funky to me.........

[kam05]

Item is no longer available...

Its really quite worrying that this could happen. Wouldnt the bank have to compensate you though in case of fraud?

Afraid not because you have a duty of care not to reveal your details to anyone and all banks make a point of telling you that will not ask for those details.

Would you sign a cheque, leave it blank, and pin it to a lamp post? Same sort of thing.

i think it would be more similar to handing a check over to a person in a shop who is pretending to be and who you believe to be the shop keeper

[vinokirk]

I emailed him but he never replied and i got an email from eBay today saying that i may have contacted a member whose account was comprimised and to cancel any cheques payments etc!
