Scammer selling Blazing Blazer

[Swarm 242]

Hi guys there is a Blazing Blazer up for sale on Australian eBay its Orange in colour .Its also on Gumtree .

Seller zero feedback .

The scammer has sold this car on numerous occasions ,the pictures shows the car with UK power points in the background .

Someone has even created a listing exactly the same as the scammer's listing that says scammer in the heading ,I have a link for both listings .

I have placed a bid on the car that the scammer is selling as it lists pick-up only and if I win that is the option I will take ,knowing the Scammer will not cough up their real address eBay might actually take action and remove the scammers listing as its been reported on numerous occasions without eBay or paypal taking action .

 

I can provide listing details if I'm aloud .....Twinset ?

 

If any TC member in the UK knows of this collectable car or its theirs ..please notify eBay to have it removed .

 

Update :The Scammer selling the BB has retracted my bid and everybody's bid you can see the bidding history ,its obvious some people were onto this as their shadow bids were up around AUD$12,000-$11,000

I messaged the scam seller and said I would post on Tamiyaclub ....so the message he sent me when he retracted my bid was quote:Cancelled: AU $250.00
Explanation:Say hi too ur pomies clowns .

 

Thanks Twinset for looking into this mate .

 

 

 

 

Thanks Stuart

I did some digging to check everything was ok, so here they are;

Scam listing;

UK listing, still running;

The 'it's a scam' listing;

From the sound of the warning listing, most of the scammer's activity has been on Gumtree until now;
" This same "item" has also been listed on Gumtree Australia several times under different user accounts, and sadly several people have been scammed out of REAL money... Hopefully this ad/warning shows how simple it is for total scumbags like this to create scam listings and rip many people off.  NEVER use PP F&F to pay for items unless they really are a friend or family.   Always check out an eBay user's past history, you'll note that in the FRAUD listing the loser "user" has ZERO feedback and history, which is a big warning in itself. "

Thankfully, eBay won't allow F&F payment through checkout so the muppet shouldn't get too far on eBay
