Guys, those are usually a scam. Someone posts a boat or car at a rediculous price. They are hoping that you will give them a credit card # to secure the deal before they get ripped off EBAY. If it is to good to be true, it usually is.....

This is the email I got when I asked him why he was selling it so cheep. Beware it is a scam.. <BR>"Dear Sir , <BR>I want to be honest with you and I inform you that i have stop the auction <BR>because i have 2 buyers interested in this boat , they are willing to pay <BR>the buy it now price .To be fair with all possible buyers I will sell the <BR>boat to the first buyer that will arange the Square Trade deposit payment . <BR>If you are able to make the payment today or tomorrow you will be the next <BR>owner of this boat . <BR>First I will like to tell you that I am in United Kingdom and the boat is <BR>in Square Trade's custody in US the boat will be shipped from there on my <BR>expence . <BR>The boat is like new , in perfect condition . I am selling this boat because <BR>the shipping to Europe will cost me to much .I have this boat from my father <BR>in law .The Buy it now price is $5,000 . I will sell the boat to the first <BR>one that makes a 2,500 $ deposit through Square Trade . <BR> <BR>Terms &amp; Conditions Shipping and handling: <BR> <BR>The shipping address must be provided before sending the deposit payment. <BR>The boat will be shipped through JC MOTORS or DAS Shipping Company . The <BR>boat will only be sent after receiving the deposit payment. I agreed with <BR>eBay Square Trade to send my boat to its warehouse since I am not in US . <BR>This way, both sides (seller and buyer) are insured by eBay. <BR> <BR>Payment: <BR> <BR>If you will offer the buy it now price I will suport all the shipping from <BR>the warehouse to your address . <BR> <BR>For the deposit payment i would like to use eBay Square Trade as a third <BR>party . They will keep your money until you get the boat and will release it <BR>to me upon delivery . <BR> <BR>Here are my name and address you need for the payment in case you decide to <BR>buy the boat : <BR> <BR>Fred Doornbos <BR>22 Merton High Street <BR>London SW19 1DN <BR>United Kingdom <BR> <BR>The boat is ready for shipment, i just need the payment confirmation from <BR>Square Trade with the transfer's details and the boat will be delivered to <BR>your address. <BR>REFUND-After the boat arrives, you have a 7 days period for inspection. If <BR>the boat is different than the way i've described it, 100% refund - transfer <BR>fees and the boat will be shipped back to the warehouse on my expence. <BR>Anyway, i don't think it will be necesary, you'll love this boat from very <BR>first moment you'll see it. <BR>Buy with confidence! <BR>I will have pay for an insurance to eBay Square Trade as proof my <BR>trustworthiness. <BR>Thanks for the conceded time . <BR>I am looking forward to your reply. <BR> <BR>Fred Doornbos" <BR>I then asked him to send me proof that is was not a scam and he never replied <BR>

This guy has been running the same scam for a while now. Different ebay auctions, same boat. <BR> <BR>Always lists his address in the UK and its always a crumby little motel or PO box. <BR> <BR>I guess some dumb asses are falling for it.

brit_rider 05-30-2005 6:47 AM

a) There is no such address... I have a totally upto date address database system over here for over the phone sales and it ain't showing up... <BR>there isn't even a Merton High street in the southern counties. <BR> <BR>b) He sounds about as English as my spanish uncle. <BR> <BR>

jayc 05-31-2005 3:57 AM

There is a merton street in SW19 and 22 is a newsagents with PO boxes and mail redirection. <BR> <BR>The guy doing the scams may be dumb but he has a better address database than you. <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR>(Message edited by jayc on May 31, 2005)
