It's kind of a tough one sometimes, I have stopped high $ fraud involving A JCB 3cx backhoe loader That was for sale On ebay in the U.S. I knew the machine was sitting in a dealers lot in the U.K for sale at 3 times the price the same day. The pictures the fake seller was using had been carefully selected, or poorly photo shopped to hide things like machines/ building styles or license plates. i new these things weren't common to see in North America as I was raised in the U.k before coming to Canada. And the ad plus other things stated got my spider senses moving to.
They used 8 pictures, the dealer had 20 or more telling ones of the U.K backgrounds with his advert on the website he owns. Ebay took it down the first time, Then the seller got it back up somehow 2 days later. It Did sell supposedly then, but a few days later negative feed back turned up saying the seller had set up a fake shipping company. Plus they wouldn't let the buyer have a local mechanic verify the machine existed before payment.
I was right on there, It re appeared the second time with another fake add 2 weeks later, I reported that again and it and the ebay sellers that moved state from the first add I reported vanished. The dealer in the U.K still has it, and he knows to put his company name on his listing pictures now so guys can't steel his images, As I told him about it.
Somedays I figure I do have better stuff to do but that whole deal was glaringly wrong. Would I like loosing $20.000 on a fake ebay sale No so I dealt with it the best I could to help guys not get scammed. I was actually looking to import a similar machine from the U.K as they don't appear here with that spec often, there was another older one in Ontario with U.K spec on Kijij Those picures don't look right either but I can't prove it .
