I internally via e-bay messaged a seller about a car they were selling... and got a response that had me think 'scam'.
The e-bay advert had pictures of the car, that had me recognise the location on Dartmoor, i.e. near me... and there were two phone numbers... which after a Google search had me think the advert was probably genuine, or certainly looked it ..... which had me confused, because the message looked scam.
So I rang one of the phone numbers.
The very nice lady on the other end had no idea what I was talking about, because although she was selling the car... she had not received my e-bay message and the response I'd received was not hers.
How does that work? I send her a message, but she doesn't receive it?...then the scammers using her account send me a message?
Turned out she lives a mile away, in the local village where my lad goes to school. She lives directly opposite friends of ours and knows loads of people we do... and the chap that wants to buy the car and on whose behalf I was making enquiries is working on a house 400 yards way from where she lives... and when I was 16 and took some temporary employment before joining the Old Bill...it was her father who employed me...small old world.
