Scammer selling Delorean Beware
#1
Just noticed this Delorean for sale on eBay, this person is on regular by hijacking someones account and listing hundreds of Classic Cars, today a Delorean is listed keep well away, hopefully eBay will take it down soon, this scam has been going on for a while.

Yehh, that scammer keeps trying it with the same pics and different accounts. TOP TIP: check for what else they are selling if you see hundreds of 'to good to be true' priced cars for sale it's a scam. 
Fortunately the classic car scene in the UK is good at reporting these so they soon get pulled down by EBay, hopefully before anyone looses any money.

Ive lost count of how many of these I have reported over the last couple of years...sometimes it takes eBay a few days for them to act! Not just Deloreans...anything you can think off...motorhomes, boats, motor cycles ...you name it.

As Chris says...if it looks too good to be true, just click on 'see other items'.....i've need some with over a thousand items of there!!! At the very least he is harvesting email address to get you on a 'mugs list'. At worst he is after your money.

If in doubt report him to eBay ....there is a link in every advert..

He'd back again folks....e types etc. 1,100 items. I been exchanging emails with eBay for 24 hours!! Something ought to do done.

He's harvesting email address apart from any thing else.

eBay have eventually taken his rubbish down again! I wonder how many email address and details he's phished in the last 24 hours? Angry I even emailed him myself and told him to get a proper job!
