Geoff
Coley report "I have become aware of a scam
on the internet involving an RV8 offered for sale
on eBay. An advert first appeared on eBay on 29th
February 2012 and quoted a Buy Now price if an email
was sent to ARZ123@gmail.com which was sent. Within
two hours |
| the
advert disappeared from eBay. To see what happened
I did contact ARZ123 and got a response that due
to personal circumstances, the "sell now"
price was £2,800 and the car was an Oxford
Blue RV8 with 61,863 miles on the clock. I asked
for photos and they were duly sent to me showing
the car as a UK market spec Oxford Blue RV8 with
the registration number L907 DPB. The seller was
"Joe Barlow" and the car was claimed to
be located in Dundee. So far so good - a very cheap
RV8! So what did Geoff discover?. More |
