This is such a neat trick, I'll describe how it works.
With two ebay accounts a disreputable car trader runs a fake auction on ebay and appears to sell it to someone else. It is then put for sale on Gumtree after a log book loan has been taken out. Of course if someone buys it, it appears that the auction winner has taken out the loan and anyone who buys the bargain on Gumtree gets their car repossessed and the trader is laughing all the way to the bank as the victim chases a seller who never existed in the first place. The ebay auction winner and Gumtree seller being little more than figments of the imagination.

CAR ADVERTS - If a car seller mentions escrow - he's scamming you Never ever for any reason pay anything until you have seen and inspected the vehicle
