Just nearly got scammed out of 5k buying a ducati multistrada from Ebay similar thing to what i believe has happened before ,
A bike deal that was too good to be true , but because i wanted one badly i convinced my self that i had found a deal although all my instincts where telling me other. Any how this is how it went and this is what he/she sent going under the name of John Alister [email protected]
Emailed him after seeing it on ebay with a couple of questions regarding the bike
With this reply
yes in Scotland with me. Due to my location and since view is not an option I have requested personal support and I was approved to use Buyer Protection Program. Here is how the process works:
- you give me your full name and shipping address
- I start the transaction with the eBay,
- they send further payment instructions,
- you have to pay for the item to eBay to secure the funds,
- they confirm me that they received the funds,
- I deliver the bike,
- you receive the bike,
- they send me the money.
Everything is covered by eBay. I will get paid only after you confirm that you received the bike in good order.
Let me know if this is acceptable. Thank you
John

My actions since have been to
Inform Barclays that one of there accounts have been used for fraud
Inform the police
Inform ebay (did not seem interested at all)
