david256 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 The latest one I've seen are scammers stealing other people's Pet advertisements and then reposting them in an attempt to scam Money out of people. (Only pedigree animals) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPete9 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 I know with RC cars they buy from interstate, do all of the shipping then claim via pay pal its not as described...you're forced to do a reversal and you get your car back with good parts replaced with shitty parts...tricky to prove at that point.

rand129678 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Hi all, could you tell them to file a police report and then the police could contact eBay for your details and then contact you? There must be a procedure between eBay and Police regarding potentially stolen goods (that must pop up all the time)? That way you're dealing with police about a legitimate concern rather than dealing with randoms? Or am I living in dreamland (as usual) and things don't work out so easily lol Cheers ! :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since I have been reading this thread I have become even more wary than usual. A case in point: I listed some speakers on Gumtree and received a message from a guy who said he would like to buy them ( subject to audition ) and then pay me a cash deposit to hold them for 2 weeks. I said that was fine and he is coming here later this week, essentially to take out a "Lay by". I have looked a every aspect of this with my scam-ometer, but if I still have the speakers and his cash deposit, nothing can go wrong ............right?? I don't even bother with gumtree most of the time, so many time wasters looking to get something worth $xxx for $x it's ridiculous some of the offers you get on there.

Actually, I have had some good success on GT, both buying and selling. In one case I sold an item for my asking price in 2 days and I had only lowball offers on here. IMO, it's just the luck of the draw and happenstance 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
