There was an advertisement listed on craglist.com to purchase a John Deere Tractor. The only way of contact was thru e-mail the sellers. The seller refer the transaction to an ebay account. In return ebay emailed back asking for payment thru ebay gift cards. Things got suspicous when ebay asked for payment a second time for insurance for shipping. The gift cards were purchased and then phoned to the number that was listed in the email. I was not aware that it was a scam at the time. But after I refused to pay for the insurance and called the number several times with no responses, it was then when I got the message it was a scam. I looked up Ebay website and got another number and sure enought Ebay confirmed that I was scammed. The real Ebay did not have the order in their system and could not refund me any money. I was told to refer this to the local police department.

I was on the website cars for sale & while Im the site I seen a car I was interested in so I provided my personal info & Jill Patrick contacted concerning a 72 Dodge Charger for $*** well this person ask for my home address & phone # so she can provide this to eBay motors they email me so I can send them $ Thru PayPal wow really well longer stort short it was all a scam??. This is message I received from the scammer Hi, thanks for being interested in buying my 1972 Dodge Challenger. It is in perfect condition, 112k original miles, no need for additional repairs, no scratches, dings, rust, special marks whatsoever. The interior looks great, runs like new and all services are up to date. Also, I need to mention that it was never involved in any accidents.

The price is $*** (non-negotiable). This belonged to my husband and after he passed away I decided to sell it. My name is on the title.

I moved at my daughter because I had a throat surgery and I will remain here for few months at least. I'm located in Colorado Springs, CO and I took the vehicle with me. I gave it to eBay Motors who will deliver it to the next owner. The transaction will be made through them for our own safety because I can't deal in person. The best part about this is that you'll get 5 days for inspection for free with no further obligation or fees.

If you're interested in purchasing it just email me your full name, full address and phone # so that I can initiate the deal through eBay Motors and they will contact you to explain the procedure.

Thank you very much and waiting to hear from you,

Jill Patrick

Saw an ad for a truck in NH Craigslist. I contacted the seller by email and was told she is using EBay. Proceeded to purchase vehicle thru them. First they wanted 1,800 in eBay cards . Called them back(sounded legit) they said they would email us back when the truck will be shipped. Here’s where it gets tricky, they stated they needed another thousand to insure the vehicle in eBay cards and the money would be given back in check upon delivery.So I called them back with another thousand in eBay cards. Once again sounded legit. Then another email from them asking for another thousand. Told them I’m canceling the order and calling the authorities. Never heard back from them again. So I’ve been scammed

Consumer was on Offer UP looking for a car. She found a 2006 NIssan for sale and clicked on it. A woman asked for your email address so that she could send pictures of the car and further information, which was received. The woman who contacted the consumer was Sandra Kenneh, email address [email protected]. She told the consumer that she had EBay Renter's Insurance that would allow her to ship the car from Virginia to the consumer in Ohio to test drive for 5 or 6 days at a cost of $1,000. The consumer was emailed all details and was told that EBay Motors would keep the consumer's $1,000 in escrow until the consumer was able to test drive the car and determine if she wanted to purchase it. If the consumer wanted to purchase the car she would let EBay Motors know and they would send the money to Sandra Kenneh. If the consumer did not want the car the money would be sent back to the consumer. The consumer then received an invoice via email from [email protected]. The email then instructed the consumer to purchase EBay gift cards, telling her that the maximum amount that could be loaded on an EBay gift card was $500. She was then told to send the gift cards to EBay Motors, but provided no address to send them to EBay Motors. The invoice does not list any information or address for EBay Motors. It only lists Sandra Kenneh's address - Sandra Kenneh, 8725 John J. Kingman Rd., #235, Fort Belboir, VA 22060. The consumer was told that once she purchased the gift cards she should email the numbers on the gift cards to EBay Motors.

Found listing on Craigslist for Golf Cart listing ID 6570731881

Contact Seller at email address: [email protected]

She informed me it was still available

I replied with questions about payment, etc.

She explained that she was selling it through eBay Motors

We would have 5 days for inspection with full refund available

We agreed to move forward

 

Friday May 25th

Received email from [email protected] and [email protected] claiming to be eBay

They provided order ID 7935243127

And attached an invoice with instructions for payment to be EBAY gift cards

After work, I went to Walgreens and purchased $500 EBAY gift card using my debit card

They would only allow $500 max at that location

I then went to Publix supermarkets and purchased $700 in additional EBAY Gift Cards using my credit card

I called the number provided (858) 386-4962 in the invoice and email and provided the Gift Card numbers as instructed

The email instructions and the person on the phone stated that it would take up to 24 hours for payment to go through

Received confirmation from eBay and seller

 

Called the  (858) 386-4962 eBay contact number several times.  Often would receive message that "Call cannot be completed as dialed"

Sent follow-up emails to both Liza and eBay asking for delivery information

Later I googled Liza's email address [email protected] and found several sites that list her as a scammer!

Following is the nature of the e-mail:

I really appreciate your interest in purchasing the jeep and I would like to clarify some things 1st of all. I wold like to speak on the phone with you is much easy for me but i have a surgery at mouth and i can't speak for few week. The thing is I'm selling this jeep because my husband passed away not long ago (he was very sick) and and this jeep too much for me and that's the reason why I want to sell it asap I have lot to do...I along with my daughter decided to sell the house and we moved to my parents in Topeka, KS trying to start a new life. The jeep is already at the shipping company ready for delivery. The jeep is there already because someone agreed to buy it, but in the end he never got the loan. For this reason, the shipping is already paid. I will use eBay in this transaction for our protection. If you are not aware of this program, you should know that they will secure your funds and they will allow you to test drive and inspect the jeep before any funds are released to me. The inspection period will be set to 5 days and I think is enough for you to make a decision about the jeep. If you won`t like my car for some reason, you notify eBay and you send the jeep back on my expense. But I assure you it won't be the case. If you want to continue the purchase, please reply with your full name for bill of sale, delivery address for shipping and phone number so I can start the transaction with eBay and ask them to send you the terms of this transaction ( with no further obligation or fees).

Waiting for your reply. Tracey Cuming [email protected]

I was trying to buy a used car online and found a car for $2000. The seller told me they were selling through eBay Motors, and had eBay Motors reach out to me to do the transaction. I got emails from eBay Motors, or an email pretending to be eBay Motors, and they asked that I pay for the car via a Walmart2Walmart money order. After I did so, they gave me an expected delivery time of the vehicle. About an hour before the vehicle was supposed to arrive, they told me I had to pay a $1,000 insurance fee for the 'testing period'. This raised a red flag, and I called eBay customer service through the website instead of the number they provided, and they made me believe this was someone masquerading as eBay. I'm not sure I can get the money back, but I have reached back out to 'cancel' the order and get a refund. I don't know if they'll answer me at all.

I found a 2002 Nissan Maxima w/90,000 miles on Columbus.craigslist.org. The lister was a woman from Buckeye Lake, Leslie Adkins. She said she moved to Omaha, NE and wanted to get rid of the vehicle. She said the vehicle was stored at a shipping location. She sent me pictures of the car. I sent her my phone number because I wanted to talk to her, she said no, we should use email. She was asking $1,000.00. She wanted me to go to CVS, Walgreens, or Rite Aid, and buy an eBay debit card, and give them the security number off the card. I talked to a man in Customer Service with eBay Motors. He said he would hold the funds for 3 days for the vehicle to be shipped, then 5 days to accept or reject the deal. After the 5th day, if I didn't want the car, they would come pick up the car and give me my $1,000 back. The email reads do not reprint or show anybody any of this information as it is very confidential.

I inquired about a truck on Craigslist Fort Wayne by sending the seller a text after the reply phone number stated it was a text messaging service. I text (260) 216-5435. The next day I got a text message from (219) 627-1061 letting me know they were sorry for replying so late and asking me to email with their personal email address of [email protected]. I did that and they sent me more information on the truck and a link to more pictures https://use.com/ODtHi. The email had believable information that she got the truck in her divorce settlement and did not need it. I was then instructed to let her know if I wanted it and she tell eBay motors that I am purchasing the truck and give them my information. They would then reach out to me with further instructions. “eBay Moters” sent me instructions along with an invoice. They instructed me that the only type of payment they accepted was eBay gift cards and explained how to load them and send with receipt. I did this and even called the number to verify receipt of gift cards and approval. Someone actually answered the fake “eBay motors” customer support line. Later in the day, I looked online and saw the use.com site was used in scams and then found even more evidence that this was a scam when I viewed an invoice that looked just like mine. I am now out $900 that I was going to use to get my son a cheap work vehicle. I called eBay to cancel the gift cards or put a freeze on them but by this time they had already spent the majority of the money on the cards.

I responded to a craigslist classified for a travel trailer priced at $***, supposedly from an individual being shipped overseas. The seller stated the listing had been made through eBay Classified, took my name address and email,

to allow them to contact me for payment. I received a legitimate looking invoice, paid it (stupidly) using prepaid debit cards, and was promised delivery three days later. No delivery on the promised date, but did get a notice that they had to have an insurance deposit ( refundable) same stupidity. I paid the extra $***, was promised delivery the following Monday. No shipment, no contact, and the customer service number went unanswered ( evidently disconnected).

I've communicated the details of this fraud to Craigs list Legal.

At this point, it seems likely that the seller is out a trailer (if there was ever a trailer), eBay Motors ( if it exists) has successfully stolen $*** from me; and the entire fraud could easily have been carried out multiple times, based on the original ad.

I was looking to purchase a vehicle on eBay Motors. After identifying a vehicle to purchase, I contacted the seller at their personal email. They asked that I pay with WalMart gift cards. I was then instructed to call their phone number to read the gift card information to complete the purchase. Once the payment was processed, they would have the vehicle at our house with title. They called back later asking for an insurance payment. After denying the insurance fee, they dropped the price. I continued to deny their request and realized this is a scam. In attempting to contact them for a refund, they just hang up.

I saw a Craigslist ad and the man was going to ship it to be and had me pay a fake eBay invoice in all gift cards and the woman said her husband just died and it was heartbreaking to see the car. I have 4 eBay gift cards and proof of payment (receipt and western union transfer. First I wrote asking about the car and the girl said it was her moms and gave me this email [email protected]

She then had a fake email from eBay motors. They said anything you buy off eBay over $1000 you have to pay for in eBay gift cards but the legitimate eBay motors said that was a lie.

The scammer put an advertisement on Craigslist.com for a 2005 Acura TL in perfect condition with 78000 miles on it for $1500. Upon contacting "Diane Stone" (I'm sure this is a false identity, but this was the name provided), I received a sob story of how her husband died 4 months prior and she was about to be deployed (posing as a United States Air Force medic) and she needed to sell the car before she was deployed as to not be forced to pay fees for storing the vehicle for the duration of her deployment. She claimed that she was going to be deployed in 9 days from the date that I contacted her. She told me that she would handle the process of shipping the vehicle herself at her own expense and I would have a 7 day inspection period that at any point in this period I could get a refund and have the car shipped back to her at her own expense. Following this email conversation I received an email from the above listed address stating that I needed to pay using MyVanilla visa cards (3 cards, $500 each) and that it was the only acceptable payment method. I purchased these cards and gave the information to a false eBay motors representative and they sent an email with a false receipt stating the transaction was complete and the shipping process could begin. The next day, I received a phone call and an email, both stating that there was a hiccup in their shipping process and that the company they use had new rules and policies, and that I would have to pay an additional $1000 for shipping insurance that would be refunded in cash upon delivery (which I did not pay, it was at this point that I realized this was a scam). I called the supposed eBay motors representative and informed her that I had found another car, and I would like my money refunded which they promised they would do at any time upon my request, and she told me that I would have to provide my full name and she would call me back momentarily with refund information (trying to get me off the phone so they could block my number). I asked her if there was a way for me to stay on the line with her while she did this and she said there was no way to do that and when I contested this, she hung up. I called back and discovered that my number has been blocked by this person.

Inquired about a posted Jeep Wrangler for sale on Craig's list. Text to a number and they sent email showing vehicle and instructions for purchase. The email stated the woman who owned the vehicle husband passed away from a heart attack and she moved away to KS and wanted to sell. Said she was using a third party to handle since she was gone. eBay motors sent me an invoice via email requesting purchase price of $1,300.00 to be sent upfront via Vanilla debit card only and the car would be delivered 2-3 days for inspection and acceptance. We would have 5 days to cancel and apply for full refund if not satisfied with vehicle. They offered no other option for payment and said it would be held by ebay until we called back with approval to release funds to seller. I called ebay corporate to check on "ebay motors" and they said that any email communication should contain the word "ebaysupport" in the address and that they accept other options for payment. The customer service rep at ebay corporate advised further inquiry because it did not sound authentic.
