Joe,
I just got an email from eBay saying that they have sent you the invoice with all details you need in order to complete this deal. Please check your messages, also check your bulk email folder (junk,spam), as a filter may have prevented it from reaching your primary inbox and let me know if you got it. Also, on the payment notification you will find their phone number where you can call and get more more info from their operators.
I will wait for your reply.
Thanks

Hello,
The 2015 PJ DUMP D2122 is in excellent condition, very clean. The Trailer has 500 miles, 5,200# Axles, 9,899# GVWR and I own a clean title under my name, with no accidents, loans or liens on it. The Trailer has good tires & brakes, needs nothing. It looks great inside-out, was never hit in and doesn’t have any visible dings. The Trailer was recently fully inspected. The price was reduced to $800. Due to my divorce I owned this Trailer so I don’t need it and I’m trying to get rid of it as soon as possible. If you have any other questions, or need more info, please feel free to ask. Please confirm that you received my email.
Best regards

Received a text from a scammer identifying self as Sheryl ******** notifying me that I had been selected as a Facebook Lottery winner in the amount of $6M. The scammer informed me that I should receive a text from a FedEx Courier with details of how to collect the prize. I then received a text from the FedEx Courier the following day informing me that I needed to purchase a $400 STEAM card. I verified that once purchased, I would supply him with the card’s number. Once I received an affirmative response, I indicated that while I was born in the day it was not yesterday. The Courier asked me to trust him and that no one was after my money. He even sent me a photo of a mailing label with my name and address (I provided to the first person who texted me) and a box filled with stacks of $100 bills. When I indicated that I would not purchase nor provide the $400 until I received the prize money, which they promised would be delivered the following day @ 10AM, he indicated he would have to "hold" my prize until that request was fulfilled. I then sent the statement from ScamPulse.com re: legitimate lotteries do not ask for fees or payments. He then followed up with no one was after my money and the $400 was to cover expenses involved with delivering the prize. I again insisted that the $400 would be provided upon receipt of the $6M. I then blocked their numbers.
Below is verification information provided by the scammer of the prize:

Then I realized it was a scam. This is a major issue. I have no money to lose. Hopefully all of them will be judged properly when the time comes.

I was posting something in a friend Facebook account and my phone screen went dark and a pop-up message appeared indicating that I had to validate my email address and phone number to be able to continue using the FB application. I did and when the page reappeared it had a different profile picture, there appeared friends that I had been unable to contact in ages, and when I went to my profile, all my information had disappeared and it was asking me to update the information. I checked my pictures and only the old profile picture and some pictures of end -of -the -year student messages that I posted at the end of the school year were there. The rest disappeared. I tried to contact Facebook Help Center, but I couldn’t because they only have a bunch of frequently asked questions. I contacted the Facebook Help Community asking how I could contact Facebook and a while later, I received a message with a phone number to contact Facebook. I called and that’s how everything started. The person answered as if it were Facebook help center and asked me to buy 3 $50 Google Play Cards in order to verify my account, which I did. Alex Cooper, the supposed customer support manager told me that they would refund the money I spent to buy the cards. He told me that he would transfer my call to another department for them to send the refund. When the next person answered, he told me that I needed a $100 Google Play card for him to be able to process the refund. I refused and he said that if I didn’t buy the new card, he would not be able to process my refund. I told him that he was a scammer and he started to laugh. All the persons I talked to had a very heavy Middleastern accent (in fact I think it was the same person giving a different name to make think I had been transferred to another department.

I was a victim of Michel Zorn, a supposedly pet breeder! I bought two 10 week welsh corgis, paying $850 for each one. They where supposed to arrive 5/09/19 and never did. I lost the money because their method of payment was through QuickPay Zelle!. They asked for more money in order to realize the dogs that apparently where at the airport still because a 2,000k dollar of life insurance was required. I never paid that amount of money so they emotionally attacked me by saying that the dogs where suffering and that it was my fault cause i was too selfish to pay.
At the end they where NOT registered as AKC Certified that they said they where. We could never find them. He uses a Facebook page called Corgis puppies for sale. Also a website call Eco pet movers. They kept emailing and calling for more money and no information what so ever about the pets.

We have a reference number and what seems like all the details, almost convincing, but, my wife and I just didn’t buy it, so we did not give him any info that he needed, other than our address, which he could get in other ways. We are confident this is a scam, even if only to get $250 from folks. Be very careful. If it seems too good to be true, it most likely is.

Today, my husband was on Facebook, and he got a message from someone pretending to be his friend. The message was that Publishers Clearinghouse had teamed up with Facebook to give away money. The message said that within 15 minutes of receiving a copy of his drivers license, they would be at his house with a check. The same person messaged me, she asked how he was doing, while he was talking to him on Facebook. I asked her if she was scamming my husband, and she said no, she swears on the Bible it’s not a scam. I said send proof. She said she couldn’t, she was on vacation.

I was on Facebook started yesterday at about 1:30pm 11-9-17, I finally stopped about 1pm this afternoon 11-10-17, the picture wouldn’t upload and I went on Google to find the number for Facebook customer service. I found the number 1-877-250-5999 online and a man answered he said his name was Kevin, then he said Jeffrey and Keith, but when I would call it was the same man. He sounded like he had an arabian accent. When I called I told the man I couldn’t upload my picture profile on Facebook. And he said that someone had hacked into my Facebook account and used my identity in Uruguay, Uganda, Colorado, Illinois and California. He said I was going to go to jail and be found guilty and he said I had to buy an I Tunes Card and give them the code and they would be able to protect my account from hackers and block them. He asked what did you spend, I said I didn’t spend anything, and he asked what did Kevin ask you to do, and I said I shouldn’t have to pay to upload pictures to Facebook and he hung up me. He hung up on me every time I called. I went to my bank to get an I Tunes Card and they told me it was a scam, and I told him that and he hung up on me. He has me my name, where I was from, what school I went to, he asked me for my date of birth.

The person said that I needed to go buy a $50- iTunes card and he would b able to get my account back up so I did but then he said I needed to buy 2 more for my phones because I had a virus that was spreading to everything He didn’t do anything to help of course and I gave him the number on the iTunes card which he said was used to allow " teamviewer" into my account. . He got irate when I said I don’t have the $ and I got really suspicious so I went into task manager and kept deleting his connection then I called ATT and they had a service for $15- a month that takes care of your computer when you have a virus or what ever your problem is so she was able to restore my account for me and my google email account.

I asked about taxes. She said the FedEx delivery had been stopped by the IRS until I sent her the Certificate of IRS clearance, which was going to cost me $1240 more.
