Hi all
I've been looking at buying a second hand Qashqai on ebay and both of the vehicles I was interested in turned out to be scams. I thought I would post on here and hopefully stop someone from actually getting fleeced for thousands of pounds. The first car was a classified listing and the car was apparently in Hemel Hemspted. When I made contact I received a text from 07451228045 telling me that they were deaf so couldn't speak to me. This was followed by an email advising that they were currently working in Scotland, the car was being held in an ebay warehouse and they would ship the car to me at heir expense after I paid the asking price into an Escrow account. I reported the fraud to ebay and the listing was removed.
Two days later, I saw another Qashqai again a classified ad and this time the car was in Ilford. After making contact I received an email from a
'Lisa Shirley' -
Looking at the full header of the email from Lisa Shirley it was actually sent from [email protected] who on this website was up to the same tricks in 2017 using the dud company http://www.express-shippers.uk. I checked out Auto-Transport.co.uk and it doesn't appear to exist either.
Just these two scams would have raked in £10,000+. hopefully anyone who might be tempted to spend several thousand pounds on a car on ebay will run a google search first.
