| Anonymous Harlesden, Brent, United Kingdom 2013-11-25 17:14:12 Rental Scam eBay (www.ebay.com) | Untitled Rental Scam on eBay (www.ebay.com), ref:14245 I bought a Samsung Galaxy S3 on Ebay auction from user name maiyabell091113 I paid through Ebay as usual, but 5 minutes later the money I paid was refunded and a Paypal invoice for the phone was issued to me in the name of Andrew Butler. I immediately called Paypal to check if I would be protected if I paid the invoice, and a reassuring American man looked at the transaction and said I would be - and so I paid it. I Upon receipt of the money I received an email from Drew Bell (Bell??) saying that my phone would be sent the next day.....Well 10 days later no phone, and no reply to the numerous emails I sent. On calling Paypal to try and claim my money back I was hoffied when I was told, by the woman at Paypal, that I wasn\'t protected at all, and the man I had previously spoken to must have misunderstood!
So please avoid buying anything from anyone calling themselves Andrew (Drew) Butler or Andrew (Drew) Bell from Belfast, Ireland.
