Was looking for RV on facebook marketplace. Contacted seller who said she lost her husband..and was selling it to get rid of it. She said Ebay was going to be the vendor so I contacted them. They gave me all the correct information including VIN number. EBAY said they would deliver to my house as part of promotion. I called their number several times… voicemail was thanks for calling ebay. Sent emails back and forth. My mistake was they said I should gift cards for payment from ebay…wasn’t thinking and I did…big mistake…email address they used was [email protected]
And they created a replica ebay email .awful….never pay until you receive. They also used Facebook Marketplace with legit 3rd party vendors. Email address used was [email protected]

I inquired about a 2009 Casita trailer, I got an email from [email protected] requesting $800 in ebay gift cards, I sent them 4 ebay gift cards at $200 each to start the transaction of the purchase, then ebay seller indicated the 2009 Casita was sold at undervalue, and $800 more was needed for insurance, I sent 4 more ebay gift cards at $200 each, after they got the $1600 in ebay gift cards from me, suddenly contact was halted from the seller side. When I notified ebay about it, and gave them the redemption codes to these 8 ebay gift cards to freeze these cards, and to trace the tracking numbers, they indicated the could not do that, I had to call 3 times and hopefully the freeze was finally put on the cards for tracking purposes. I need to have the $1600 refunded to me from ebay, since they will be the ones to benefit from the scam, I feel if they do not refund my $1600 they are allowing scammers to use them for scamming innocent victims.

The scammer was first contacted by email, she was saleing a truck. I asked about price because it seemed a little low and she claimed she was military that her husband passed away two months ago and that it was his truck. She was leaving with her medical team and was going to be gone for a year and did not want to pay to store it and for ins while she was gone so she was just trying to get rid of it fast. She asked for shipping info and said eBay would be in contact with us shortly. Not long after eBay contacted us by email we had to pay by gift card and the payment was going to be held until delivery.
