Beware, There Are A Lot Of Crooks On Ebay
I hope you have not had a negative experience on ebay. I was
very much enjoying the site until one day, some freak tried to
steal nearly £200 from selling me an item which did not exist.
This article explains what happened and also the advice the
police gave to me.
As I have already mentioned I was having lots of fun buying and
selling on Ebay for a number of months without any problems at
all. I regularly sold second hand mobile phones and was doing
very well for myself. If I ever bought anything that cost over
£100, I would offer to meet the seller somewhere, normally just
off the motorway. I pulled off what I believed was some good
deals and also managed to offload some of my unwanted items
which I either had no interest in anymore or that I had no
longer a need for.
Unfortunately all good things have to come to an end and it
certainly did with ebay.
One particular morning I was looking to purchase another second
hand mobile phone, which I would then re-sell on. There was an
advert for a buy it now phone with the asking price low but not
extremely low.
There was a mobile number to phone if I had any questions. I
decided to phone the number, his name was Tony and I asked him
the general type questions. He sounded and seemed really nice,
however stated that he was unable to meet me as he was unable to
drive as he had not past his test. The alarm bells should have
already started to ring, but me being a bit stupid they didn't.
His house was a long way from
where I lived and reluctantly I
agreed to pay via a bank transfer. He assured me he would post
the phone, that very day via Royal Mail Special Delivery to
arrive by 11am the next morning. He seemed very genuine, they
always do your thinking and that was that.
Next morning have a guess what arrived, yes nothing at all, nor
the next day, nor the next.
I tried e-mailing him, texting and ringing his mobile phone,
guess what, there was no reply.
I realised what a fool I had been, however decided to go to the
police. They were very helpful and half an hour later I had a
crime number however was warned that it was very unlikely I
would ever see a phone or recieve a refund of my money which was
£170. The police advised me to be very careful as they regularly
have complaints from people who have been defrauded on ebay, I
was not alone!
Outside the police station I sent Tony a text with the police
crime number. To my shock he phoned me straight away swearing at
me but eventually agreed to refund me the money, if I stopped
the police action against him.
I was very lucky, I am sure many other people as the police
stated, never get their money back.
