This scam was detailed on 'Rip-off Britain' the other morning:
Item is priced far too cheaply (a VW camper in this case) to draw buyers in - alarm bells need to start ringing.
Photos sent to the buyer by email, but no opportunity to view in person due to covid.
Delivery company will deliver the vehicle to your door and a full refund if not completely happy (yeah, yeah....
)
Then the scammer sent an 'ebay invoice' which turned out to be a screen shot that was amended....
Lady decided all was safe, paid her money, then no sign of the van and no knowledge of it at the delivery company, money has gone.
My opinion - ALWAYS go to view it yourself, if you can't, don't buy and keep your money in your account. Another will turn up eventually
