Hi there, the Range Rover 4.4 is still available for the price of £11,300. The reg no is SP02NWM. The car is 100% working and great looking, no scratches, scuffs, dents or any kind of damage. I have just moved to Hungary because my wife is Hungarian and she got a very good job offer here. The car is here with us as well. I am selling it because I cannot manage with the right-hand drive here.
You should also know that it is still registered in the UK. Please email me back soon and let me know if you are still interested in a transaction.
All the best Mark
LOL!!!! I have asked for his address & will go over to meet him with cash etc.
I once **sold** an LCD TV to various scammers on ebay that got £32k worth of dodgy cheques that I sent to the police. I have been doing ebay for a good while.

Assuming the site has been hacked it is quite simple. I logged on to eBay and found my identity being used to sell something I have never owned. I started to cancel bids but as I did other bidders became the high bidder. I then started to email bidders stating this was a fraudulent item but after trying to contact eBay to have the auction stopped I just sat there and watched the bidding go on. After the auction was over I contacted the winner and informed them they had been scammed and told them not to pay. I eventually made contact with eBay and eventually they confirmed I had not made the listing and then told the winning bidder they had been the subject of a hoax. I managed to find an email for the perpetrator on the site and told eBay and the police. The email address became unavailable quite shortly after. As I suffered no financial loss the police where unable to take any further action.
eBay continually referred to the incident as "it appears that a third party was able to gain access
to your eBay account and use it to list some unauthorised auctions" "it appears" suggested they thought I might have had some involvement in the false listing. I insisted they retract the statement and eventually got them to admit.

I have good reason to believe the person who stole my identity went by the name of
[email protected] . However shortly after I sent him an email telling him I had sent his addressee to the police, he became unavailable .
So it does happen but never to me !!
