  Saw a car on Facebook for sale. I contacted the person which then sent me the email address. She sent me pictures of the car then told me that everything was protected through eBay. The next day I receive an email from eBay to complete the transaction to buy eBay gift cards and send it to them. Later in the day I receive another email saying I have to send another 600 because of insurance and that I would receive the money back one I get the car. After I said I didn’t have the 600 I no longer received emails

  I learned about the truck through face book market place and when I made contact by email telling her I was interested she told me that ebay was handling the sale and I need to give her my cell number and address where I wanted the truck delivered and she would submit my info to ebay.Not long after that I got and email that was supposedly from ebay instructing me too purchase $800.00 in ebay gift cards and they have an online chat set up to walk you through submitting the payment. Wanting payment before merchandise was recieved sent up a red flag

  Elizabeth Miller's nephew Mario Lanza on Facebook market place listed a 1996 Ford F150 for sale for her for $800 dollars. He had posted in the comments he was listing it for her. If interested contact her at her email address [email protected] Which my wife did. My wife told her she was interested in this truck for her husband. Elizabeth Miller through email instructed her to get eBay cards to purchase the truck. Elizabeth told my wife and sent her a picture of the eBay motors document showing the truck & Elizabeth's address and my wife's address to where the truck is to be shipped to. It showed the $800.00 my wife paid her on the document. Through several emails, my wife & Elizabeth communicated. Elizabeth ensured everything was legitimate. Also stating eBay motors would hold the money unit delivery of the truck and the 5 day inspection period was approved and signed. Elizabeth said everything was good to go and she authorized eBay motors to start the shipping process. She then said the truck should be to our address by Sunday between 2pm & 6pm. A day later my wife received an email from eBay motors she needs to pay $400.00 dollars for shipping insurance and the seller Elizabeth is to pay $400.00 dollars on her end. This was to cover the value of the vehicle being shipped. Elizabeth sent an email as well telling my wife she got the same email from eBay motors. Elizabeth than told my wife in an email that she had her sister go pay the $400.00 dollars. Elizabeth wanted my wife to pay the $400.00 dollars on her end and do the same way using eBay gift cards. That when we realized we just got scammed. My wife told her in an email she didn't have $400.00 dollars to pay for this insurance. Than my wife told her she wanted her $800.00 dollars back. No response for Elizabeth. My wife even tried the link for the eBay motors that was at the bottom of the invoice. No response either.This was when we knew for sure we were scammed out of $800.00 dollars.

• Attempted to get me to ship an item with false payment information.

  Selling an item through facebook, the person contacted me with interest to buy the item. We hagled over price and came to agreement when everything was being finalized and asked for payment before shipment I was sent a fraudulent email from a false paypal service account. I made a report with paypal already about the false email. Some people are less vigilant and I would hate to see someone be taken advantage of or stolen from.
