Oh well, there is no way to deny this so I may as well come forward.
Whilst recently away for work my sister and brother in law decided to join the ford family. In doing this they both scoured the internet looking for a bargain on a territory, and came across an 04 Territory Ghia with 107K on the clock. At this point I was intrigued and was about to tell them congratulations when they dropped the bomb; "It only cost $17500." I asked where on earth a territory ghia could be that cheap and they replied; "England. The guy took it over and couldn't register it, but he's going to have it delivered to us on Tuesday to inspect through Lufthansa cargo". Working in the industry I can tell you that a car sent on a cargo 747 from London would cost over 30 grand, not to mention the fact that these scumbags had a ghost side called "cargo lufthansa" with which you could put the shipping reference to track the consignment as supplied by these scumbags. Gutted cannot describe how I felt when I had to tell them about Ebay scams and people taking photos off the net, undervaluing cars and claiming to sell them. Anyways, after a long haul flight I spent the next 5 hours finding more and more info on this scumbag who duped them, and at 2.30 am found out that this waste of space is selling a monaro for 10 grand with the same reason. Long story short they are out 2 grand for using "moneygram". Anyway, as most of the ebay scams here are about people finding stuff on the net to purchase and seeing they are a scam, I thought it prudent to advise everyone of someone elses perspective having been the victim of this outrageous con. For some background they are a young family with a 3 year old and 6 month old boy. They feel incredibly stupid and are embarrassed tremendously. Anyway, now not sure what to do regarding helping them out; suggestions?
