Total money lost $2,600
Type of a scam Online Purchase

First, I am a senior citizen who has been taken advantage of. I found a 2005 Silverado pick-up for sale on Facebook for $1600. The "owner" advised the vehicle was with ebay Motors and sent me a link to work with in the purchase. ebay Motors advised I should buy ebay cards, scratch off the numbers on the back of the card and e-mail them back via return email. I followed the instructions. The next day, I was told I needed to send another $1000 to cover transport insurance. I sent it. Then I received a third request for $800 to to cover an out-of-state of Arizona vehicle border cross fee. At this time, I realized this was not normal and checked the BBB. Sure enough, it is a scam. I emailed ebay motors asking them to refund my money and, of course, I have received no more emails. Total loss $2600.

Type of a scam Phishing

He called 2x hoping to get 2 different individuals (bc he couldn't understand the 1st person). He got 2 different women with the same story: husband died and put their vehicles on FB marketplace with reasonable pricing. They discussed the particulars of the vehicles. One woman said she was in the military (Billings, Mt)...he said both women spoke as if from a script.

The seller uses Craigslist to solicit using eBay account some kind of way then allows consumers to purchase as if it was through Craigslist or eBay then charge another fee for delivery or refund. Refunds are 24 hours so I selected refund and I have been waiting for 48 hours and I have not been notified from eBay regarding this matter

Total money lost $1,000
Type of a scam Online Purchase

I saw a trailer for sale in the St. Louis Craigslist listing. They wanted $1000.00. It was a good deal for a 2004 RV. I contacted them through Craigslist. There was a personal email listed in the ad. I emailed her and she answered. She told me that her husband had died three months ago and she wanted to get rid of it. She asked for me to pay her in ebay gift cards. She said that she was in Kentucky. She told me that it was being handled by ebay motors. I provided her with my information, then ebay motors would contact me, which they did. I sent the gift cards to ebay motors.I could keep the van for 5 days to see if I liked it and if I didn't I could return it. They provided me an invoice number and all the steps to complete the transaction. I was asked to pay for the shipping insurance at the company. That was $600.00. It was refundable if the camper came to me undamaged. This was the red flag for me.

Facebook Marketplace advertised a 2005 GMC pickup for $1600. Seller was going through a divorce. I emailed the person and she said that EBay Motors was handling the transaction for her and they would be in touch with me. Representative from EBay Motors emailed me and asked that I purchase $1600 in EBay gift cards and send the codes from the back of the cards as the form of payment. Then they responded that payment had been received and a second payment in the amount of $1000 in the same form was necessary for insurance. This payment would be refunded when the truck arrived in Cincinnati. Cards are now empty, truck is no longer on Marketplace, no further responses have been received.

Hi,

My 2009 Nissan Murano LE AWD is still for sale for total price $1,200(which includes delivery and handling to your address). It has a 3.5L V6 Gasoline engine with only 105,500 miles, fully loaded( AC, power locks, power windows, leather seats, dual power seats, front&rear heated seats, dc player, navigation system and back up camera, rear view camera, alloy wheels, tint, keyless start, keyless entry). The car is in perfect condition with clear title, no accidents, no liens or loans and it has just been completely serviced. The engine runs very good and the automatic transmission shifts perfectly.

I’m selling this car so cheap because my child of only 21 years died a few months ago in a bike accident. The car belonged to him and it brings me bad memories. I can't keep it anymore. That’s the reason I want to sell it asap. Things are a little crazy lately with the virus going around and i don't want to sell it in person. i want to make this deal through eBay, so if you’re interested in purchasing the car just reply me your full name, full address and phone number, so I can notify eBay. Once it's done, they will contact you to explain the entire procedure.

Thank you,

Good Afternoon

to whom this may regard. My name is *** *** I was a potential buyer for a 2003 Honda Accord that was supposed to be delivery today (March 23, 2020 @ 7:00pm). There was nondelivery of the vehicle due to "The delivery of your item was stopped during shipping process because your item is not insured", stated by eBay Motors. Sent from eBay Motors email. Which was sent to me, today @11:31am. I am seeking full reimbursement from the cancelation of the transaction in the amount of $800 which I paid eBay Motor Making the purchase of the vehicle and the asking price, the delivery process begin I was told vehicle would arrive at 7:00pm on March 23, 2020. Which is now 7:08pm the vehicle haven't arrived nor received my payment. I cancel the order and called the customer service number that was giving to me. At this point I have contacted eBay Motors. The first call conversation I spoke with the representative he said the payment department would get back to me for my cancellation reimbursement in a hour but never got the call back. I tired to resolve the issue. First with the seller because they did not include the shipping insurance in final sell. Second with the customer service rep. but they started to deny my calls. I am requesting full reimbursement in the amount $800 from eBay/ eBay Motors for the purchase of the 2003 Honda Accord EX/L in regards to the eBay guaranteed policy/VehiclePurchase Protection from the seller Sgt. Amanda Brown who address is at 1700 W Valencia Rd, Tucson AZ 85706.

I was purchasing a car from eBay motors.

They said that if I sent $1800 that they would let me know where and when to pick up the car . Two days went past without hearing from them as I had already sent the money until this day I still have not received the car or money back and would like either one my money back or the car!

This was a big lesson that I learned not to do anymore and I advise others if they want to purchase a vehicle online take a step back and have second thoughts about it !

I was on Facebook Marketplace and I saw a 2010 Honda CVR for $1600. A woman contacted me and said she stayed on a military base and was selling it through Ebay Motors. She sent me an invoice with Ebay Motors on it. She wanted me to buy some gift cards and send them in to her. I knew at that point it was a scam. I told them I wanted to see the car and she said after I send the gift cards I can.

I was researching online to buy a small tractor, one came up online via a company named Total Auto Depot. They checked out, I searched for hours to verify it was a legitimate company.

This site is being used for fraud, the company does not exist. They have copied material from Car Lotz, a national online car dealer, and are using deceptive techniques to fraud car buyers. I wired money to purchase a small tractor, the company is apparently a con. Company listed posed as an online auto consignment dealer. They have created several realistic third party websites to give validity to their con. When doing an online search for reviews only positive information comes up, be it thru car forums, news reports, online articles, etc. I registered on their site to purchase a small tractor, a Bobcat 226B. Before it was to be delivered they emailed to say the wire was not correct and they wanted the money resent to another bank. I have two email threads documenting the interactions with the supposed Seller and the Total Auto Group. I have proof of wiring, plus screen shots of all the fictitious webpages that mimic actual webpages. The company also is using the images and back story of the founder and owner of Car Lotz as the person who started their company. For the Seller they are using the name, passport, photo and license of a man from Dallas Texas, which I assume is a stolen identity.
