This bus sold on ebay about 4 months ago and fetched, from memory, circa £25 I believe. It was a genuine bus but this is a scam 100%.

If it is then this is a Zero feedback scammer too...
I do hate it when we have to deal with the inexperienced....
Maybe he did buy the bus and does not like the driving position...
Off to ask questions...
Nice bus.... anyone on here own it?

It's the same photos as the old ebay advert. I believe the owner was in Suffolk. I also seem to recall it was for sale on the samba and it fetched circa what they wanted for it on ebay. It didn't go cheap and the description was very comprehensive on the previous advert and contained the same text as in the current advert.

Had a message back on ebay saying dad died in Germany, use Payapl guarantee service.
Sent them a message not that old scam again.

Just had a message from ebay saying my account has been used in unauthorised transaction and to change my login. Account has been locked.
Checked in my messages in my account and same message.
Copied the message ID number and did a search says is a complicated scam.
If your account is locked it is genuine if account still active is a scam to get your log in password.
Are these scammers the death of the Internet ? How do you know what is real the ebay message was just like a real message.
Anyone else had this one ????

Hi, I can not go at this time in possession of these documents they are to the department delivery of camper.
I am offering free delivery and I will agree for a 5-7 days of full inspection period ( after the date you receive the camper ). This means that you have 7 days to inspect the camper for any damages and decide if you want to keep it or not!Because I will sign eBay's return policy, your money will be insured by them and you will have the option to reject the deal, only if we go through PayPal as well. If this is the case, you will receive a full refund (money back) from PayPal and I will have to take the camper back on my cost! You can read more about it following the link below:
http://safety-center-page-eb-ay.co.uk-h ... y/Help.php
Let me know if the above return policy is acceptable and if you want to purchase the camper please confirm your PayPal email for further instructions.
Thanks

I believe the page link is a "spoof" page I have reported to eBay and received acknowledgement...

I think the command of English is a slight give away...
I am sad that they are not removed from internet access..
You can trace back to the IP address and the actual address!
