Welcome to ScamWarners gazthediver and cyp . Thank you for posting the email address the scammer uses.

Ebay closes the sales that are identified as scammers, so the link to pages or items on ebay does not help identify the scammer. And email address is one of the best ways we have of identifying a scammer.

Bubbles, former Scamwarners moderator.

Rest in Peace 24 June 2015.

Gone, but never forgotten.

Hi, I was ripped off by this same scam before christmas (£3K) for a mini digger. The thing is even though i reported it to the police, Ebay, Paypal & Barclays bank who held the fraudsters account nothing seem's to happen !!!

I have since seen the same scam several times since (and reported it) on ebay with them using different names still selling simillar diggers, the form it follows is -

Ebay join date : a few weeks
Feedback : zero
Location: UK england (no area or loaction)
item: offering it at a price usually to good to be true!!!

They normally put an email address in the ad & as soon as you contact them and think your hooked they will close the ebay ad.

I just hope this info helps and stops others from falling into the same trap :roll:

Here's the last scammer i fooled into thinking i was a done deal buyer (all looks very familiar):
