Well done have a brew and put your feet up lol

Spoke to Mr Plod and they were not interested, unless I had paid him

Seems attempting to defraud is not a crime

eBay Financing Center Agent*: Beneficiary: Aleksandrs Vinogradovs
Bank Name: TSB
Account no: 32769268 Sort Code: 77-17-08
City: London Country:
United Kingdom

why not get in touch with TSB - tell them the bank account details he is using for fraudulant use. I bet getting the uk bank account setup is one of the hardest bits

Tell Plod he's met Jimmy Saville and then they'll spend 5 million chasing him , lol

This is an email I received.


Hi there, Thank you for getting back to me.Can you assure me that it's in good state and that i will not be disappointed with it.I'm ready to pay your asking price and to be honest, i wanted to buy this for my son in Texas, but the issue is i am an oceanographer and i do have a contract to go for which starts tomorrow and am leaving any moment from now.The contract is strictly no call due to the lack of reception on the sea area. But I'm able to access email anytime as we will make use of laptop so my only quickest payment option is PayPal as i can send money via PayPal anytime.Since I'm requesting this transaction to be done via PayPal, i will be responsible for all the paypal fee/charges on this transaction and if you don't have an account with paypal, its pretty easy, safe and secured to open one. Just log on to www.paypal.com. I hope we can make the purchase as fast as possible? I have a mover that will come for it once payment clears and they will get it to my son's location safely.

If my mode of payment is accepted kindly email me with the information below to proceed with the payment.

1) The pictures
2) What is the condition?
3) Are you the Original Owner?
4) Your PayPal Email Address
5) Your Picked Up Location Address

Get back to me with your address so i can forward to the shipping company to schedule an appointment with you for pick up. I have a private pick up agent that will come for the pick up after payments has been made. So i look forward to hear from you soon.

Linda.

So after speaking to the police they are not interested unless he actually takes the cash and then vanishes

Spoke to TSB and explained the situation and they will not act as they say he is covered under the Data Protection Act

E Bay no response what so ever

So if any one wants to place an add to scam people out of there money basicly no one gives a dam ,,

Shame we cant find the owner of the car and let them know what is going on

As for the UK address provided then I just don't know
