Because they knew the price was too good to be true but they wanted it that desperately they ignored that fact and blindly handed it over.

Always go through eBay and pay via PayPal. NEVER pay out of eBay, any one asking for payment this way is a scam. I have bought on eBay for over 20 years and have never had a problem

Never pay "friends and family" payments on PayPal either as it's seen as a gift and NOT a transaction.

​@GazHogan that is good to know

I'm sorry for her but she is her own worst enemy. She ignored all the warning signs and handed over money outwith eBay, PayPal etc to someone she did not know for something that she had never seen.

I will never understand people who hand over money before seeing the product. I receive scam calls daily, and just ignore them. Never trust the adverts on ebay. Unfortunately they are part of the problem. Scammers are very good at grooming people with emotional stories, such as death, disability etc.

I'm not being funny but this is common sense. No one has had to tell me not to spend this much money online outside of a trustworthy website before even seeing the goods.

She bought a vehicle she'd never seen ? Oh dear 😬

how is ebay responsible if you didn't make the transactions through ebay??

If it looks too good to be true. Its 100% not true. This isnt ebay fault. People need to be more careful with sending money randomly to a woman crying on the phone.

EBayer here: you pay through your eBay account and it’s save. She did on a personal mission so that is her fault. Sorry darling 😂

I think people especially a certain generation have no clue of red flags & what to do instinctively when it comes to online stuff like scams.

Sorry. but anytime we have bought cars from EBAY, the funds sent do NOT go directly to the seller, the funds stay in a holding account within EBAY and are released once vehicle is delivered. If you are a long time customer of EBAY....you should have known this and NOT sent money directly to the seller. Do your due diligence!

I’m sorry I’d never buy a vehicle or anything over a couple of hundred pounds without seeing it first

Gave 10 grand to a women crying on the phone lol

Every time I hear these stories, it never fails, the scammed person is incredibly naïve and easily deceived. Listening to them you can actually see it coming before anything happens. No way would I EVER hand over so much as a penny for something never seen, and a seller never met. I have an extremely difficult time being sympathetic accordingly.

There are lots of “smiling thieves” online and offline these days, they just bet on the victim’s’ sympathy, kindness and avoidance (to accept the reality of being scammed). It’s sad that many are not vigilant nor strong minded enough and they have to learn it the hard way.

I always buy vehicles through main dealers. Never online

Sorry, but you cant blame ebay. The decided to pay off the ebay site, which they tell you never to do. She should have done her research and realised that the motorhome was well below value and if she did, then nothing is to good to be true.

She was completely reckless. First not even viewing what she was buying and second avoiding all of the safety features of trading through the app. It was not even a very clever scam. They just saw her coming.

Lot's of red flags you were too trusting.

Alison and dermot panicking cos the lady using the word "gypsies" 😂😂

I recently purchased a spin bike via PayPal credit. No problems. People need to be careful

It's almost as if you aren't allowed to contact a seller privately on ebay...

No it wasn't, I would never have phoned a number off eBay how can anyone fall for this.

There needs to be more Education about using computers to women over 50 ...

I feel for her that she got scammed! It’s disgusting what they did to her but i have to say when buying any type of motor you shall ALWAYS view it! Because there can be damage not seen on pictures etc. that’s what rings alarm bells for me, the seller not allowing her to see it 😅

eBay is to blame? How? U skipped purchasing via the platform and sent the funds direct. This is clearly stated on eBay help not to be done. Ur bank and police should be contacted. To go after the money.

Should have been more careful. What else can i say? 🤷‍♂️

So sad so many people like that in this world I have been scam twice once with Enagic business and with a driving instructor.

I only purchased a mask during covid costing 2 pound i usually check the sellers history it turned out ut to be a scammer, even though it was only 2 pound i felt annoyed because if 500 people had purchased one they would have made a thousand pound for nothing,i did pursue it an got my money back out of principle, lesson learnt though i would never purchase anything without checking the seller's history,but i don't know how anyone can hand over thousands of pounds without seeing something this expensive first,she has learnt a valuable lesson the hard way,i do feel sorry for her though these people are scum of the earth.

That’s so sad she lost her husband. Poor woman

I saw a motorhome on eBay & knew it was a scam due to the low price, when I enquired about coming to view it, the location was KY16, Kirkwall in Shetland Isles. It all went quiet when I said Great I love a road trip.

Not the same day but the next day hahah ok that makes a huge difference then

A Scammer tried this on me I drove 2 hours to his house address and got my money back or a trip to the dentist was on the cards

RuneScape has taught me so much in life 😂

I wish they would just let the 2 women speak instead off keep interrupting. Wat point off having guest on if they don’t get chance to answer what be asked.

She didnt use ebay properly.

Giving a deposit before u have even seen the item is ridiculous, I liked this dining table once the pic looked great but when I got there it was all scratched up, u could not tell on the pic though.

Silly, I go round there house and see it, I see them as people, and where they live, then I’ll part with money, it’s simple, it’s on line, no one is who they say they really are, pay nothing until you’ve seen the vehicle, the people and the paper work, if there in London, and your in Manchester, you drive to see it, never part with even a pound until you know it’s real

I lost the plot of this story. I have no idea what the help happened

This exact same thing happened to someone I know!!

EBay encourage you not to complete sales for items away from their platform as your not protected and there’s also no audit trail, evidence etc. Can’t put the fault on eBay for that. I see these complex scams as part of my job. Fraudsters will do anything to subvert anti fraud measures and use many techniques to gain your trust.
