Ebay scam

[Jonesie]

I've just copied this from Steves other site Landscapertalk as a heeds up for you all.

 

I bid on, and won a Timberwolf shredder through e bay which was "located" in my region and as it was near by, i was hoping to pick up the machine and save on the carriage, as you do.

 

I emailed the seller asking for address etc which was replied to via a dodgy looking "ebay" template, in which the guy basically said he couldn't let me collect as the shipper wouldn't allow this, he also said he wouldn't charge me for del. ( £50 via paypal on listing)

 

He then asked me to pay via Western union.

 

Western union should never be used to transfer monies as it is the preffered sytem of the villain.

 

Needless to say i reported the incident and will not be paying.

Thanks John but I'm not after a machine. I just saw this on another forum and thought I should warn you all that their maybe a scam on ebay on some Timberwolfs. I didn't make it clear in my post.

 

Cheers

 

Justin.
