Subject: Re: A lead from Caravans.autotrader.co.uk (ELDDIS RAMBLER AVANTE 544 (18/4) £4,500)
From: [email protected]


Hello,

Its still for sale. Immaculate condition, no damages, nothing to worry about. All necessary documents available. My current location is Scotland due to my work commitments,If this is going to be a quick sale, I will let it go for £4,500 delivered at my costs. Are you familiar to eBay? I will list the caravan on eBay Motors for the £4,500 buy it now price and I will send you a link to my auction, so you can buy it immediate.

As soon as you will confirm the payment to eBay, I will proceed delivery without any additional costs for you.

In case you are not familiar with them, please read their Buyer Protection and will see that they cover 100% the transaction done through them up to £50,000. You will receive the caravan with all the documents. As you know eBay is the best company of online transactions. If indeed interested in buying it and have the funds, I will list it on eBay, as I have a 100% positive feedback with them.

Please let me know your decision.

Thank you


Caty

I now know its a scam from visiting your site -- I have gone back on auto-trader to report them but the ad as disapeared.

Is there anything else I can do to warn people. I have reported this to Action Fraud and auto trader
