P Potter Gillingham, Kent, United Kingdom 2012-11-26 13:45:11 Auction/eBay Scam Gumtree | Gumtree Ad for Hi-Lux Invincible Auto Reg 77 SD by Michael Preston payment to D ARBAUGH
Seeems he uses the Same story of vehicle location in Scotland. He is on the Rowan Gorilla oil platform. Will ship the vehicle for £100 and we would have 3 days to inspect it - then WE would release the payment to him. Payment from our bank went to D ARBAUGH at Barclays Bank Bank Account number 80613894 sort code 20-32-00. We were asking vehicle registration confirmation to arrange insurance. Michael Preston never answered of course. Our bank cannot retrieve the £5,200, and are notifing Barclays Bank. We have referred this to the Bank Fraud dept, Police, Consumer direct and Trading Standards, but have no hope of getting money back. |
