    I suspect {Edited by Forum Team} eBay account has been hacked. The other sales give the location as Lytham st Anne's.


    Maybe, maybe not.

    There are only 40 miles between the two locations.

    And you would never conduct the transaction from your own front door would you?

    Investigator was scared as it's a large criminal ring of fraudsters and they may be armed. Once he has been found and evidence collected, I will also be making my way to Manchester.

    To do what?
  • What could OP have done differently?


    I asked this question and but I feel it was n't answered. People have suggested the price should have been a warning etc...

    I guess, my question is more general and I it could even apply to someone buy a car for £6,000 etc...

    Would an AA check have picked up the cloned VIN?
