Was looking to buy a boat, and found one I liked, into it turned into an Ebay Scam with the protection program attached to it. The boat was such a great deal, and believe me it was a deal to good to be true. Luckly before we actually bought the boat we looked into the moneygram scam information as well as contacted Ebay to see if this was a possible fraud because something just didn’t seem right about the sell. As well when the fake invoice arrived (looked very real) it had webpage attached to make it seem real. I copied and pasted the email to info into the search icon so I could get there to see a possibilty of a scam. A behold there was no such webpage and error came up saying to check spelling, which I did several times to make sure I didn’t enter something wrong. I have delt with Ebay for awhile and did not remember them using moneygram, so that is what got me searching into this case. I hate this happen to honest people who are mostly looking for cheaper items to purchase. I hope people become aware of what is happening before it is to late. I do hope when these people get caught; they spend years in jail for defrauding people of honest money. This boat was for sale in Craigslist listed under Athen, GA and was selling cheap. She used the regular scam that has been circulating around, a sad story about divorce and having to sell cheap, then telling us it was to be held in a warehouse, the ebay invoice and protection plan, and so on. She is telling that she is in a military base waiting deployment. Please Beware this boat looks to be in excellent condition and prob. will be listing it again under some other state. The boat she told us was in a shipping warehouse in a totally different state than she was in. If you feel uncomfortable with the sale, you need to look into it. EBAY SAYS ON THERE PAGE THAT THEY DO NOT USE MONEGRAM OR ANY WIRE TRANSFERE this is mainly because they do try to protect you somewhat from fraud, b/c in most cases you don’t get your money back . If a seller askes for this then there is a big possibilty that it is a scam. If you feel like the sell is a scam contact an Ebay person to make sure it is real and not a fraud. The invoice looks very, very real. Like it was an actual Ebay invoice, except you don’t use monegram or an agent. On Ebay you bid and if you win you pay mostly through Paypal, or buy it now option, or an aution.
