Robinhood Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Certainly isn't. See: http://motorhomes.autotrader.co.uk/used-motorhomes/trigano/tribute/2007-trigano-tribute-650-diesel-banbury-mfpa-8aa1254a4937237a014941dd3b6c7bac/makemodel/make/trigano/model/tribute/yearofregistration/2007 ...and I doubt many of the other items listed for the user are "kosher" either.

Brock Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 It's one of Elite Motorhomes vehicles I think on their website at £24,995. I've emailed them to suggest they check it out. They weren't answering the phone. Just a normal eBay scam! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StuartO Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Sad, is it not, that we can see, plain as day, quite a serious crime being commited (attempted fraud of £8,000) yet we all also know that there is negligible chance of this crime being investigated, let alone prosecuted, nor of any deterent action being taken to discourage the perpetrator from doing it again and again.

Brock Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 I don't know whether the Police do anything if a crime is not reported. I did a quick search for similar vans and there were about a dozen that came up priced in excess of £20k so I can't see anyone falling for this scam if they do their research. In my experience, the Police will pursue cases of fraud although for now, perhaps they have better things to do than pursue cases which could easily be avoided. Like Stuart, I am frustrated that this goes on unchecked. Is it up to eBay to look after its customers and to 'police' its website? If so, until they get better at it, I will continue to avoid e-Bay and Gumtree which seems to be worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lennyhb Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 What's that phrase " a fool and his money are easily parted" Unfortunately there are people out there to ready to part with their money if they think they are getting a bargain. I hope you have all reported it to eBay, I have, hopefully it will get taken down soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brambles Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 I like the picture of the Motorhome engine -- looks like a porsche engine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayjsj Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Brambles - 2015-01-17 7:38 PM I like the picture of the Motorhome engine -- looks like a porsche engine it's obviously not from the same vehicle. Wonder if Elite know about this ? do they know some-one is 'undercutting them' for this van ? *-) Ray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankkia Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 The guy has 4 pages of adverts too - I particularly like the last 'photo of the interior of this digger. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/DAEWOO-030-SOLAR-2009-3-5T-EXCAVATOR-/281565915488?pt=UK_BOI_Industrial_Tools_Construction_Tools_ET&hash=item418ea2e960 I may even buy it. :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackiow Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 You'd be surprised how many people think it's a one off bargain. The " seller " emails giving some reason why it's so cheap ie. Divorcing , moving abroad suddenly , got ill suddenly. Gullible people are then talked into giving a small deposit , say £250 to secure. Not bad when they can do it several times a shot.
