If it looks too good to be true. Scam

· Posted: 19.06.2018 · #1

I was looking at a forum today where someone was asking about a MH they had seen on eBay. The long and short of it was that the price wanted was too low. In reality it was a scam where the “seller” will deliver the MH on completion of the funds being transferred and even offers a money back guarantee.
The reality is the seller doesn’t have the MH to sell just cloned pictures and fake PayPal accounts etc. Never ever be tempted, always see before you hand over any money. Check the log book, do a HPI Check, beware of buying at a neutral place, if possible buy from the address on the log book.
The page below on Facebook is worth a look.

However if you really want to part with your hard earned cash I have some genuine Doonbeg seaweed with many healing properties for sale at €100 for 1kg.

I know my post will be obvious for many people but if you’re newbies and looking for your first MH which let’s face it are very expensive and you see what could be a bargain some times heart wins over the head.
It’s just too easy for scammers

Buster Jack was featured on "Rip off Britain" this morning , he does a great job and has a team trying to scam the scammers, (getting their bank details then getting the account shut down ) he explained it as i have my gang which they are aware of and they have their gangs which we are aware of . He also got the cash back from a woman who was scammed into transferring money into a "safe Account" (a holding account which she transferred money before completing the deal).

You can never be too careful, some scams now these days are pretty elaborate and if you're in desperate mode to buy or even worse, to sell, then you will be incline and you may want to believe some stuff out there.

Fair play to keep raising awareness regarding this, the more people know, the more these scumbags will fail to scam people.

But yeah, asking for details and proof will normally dismantle this type of fake operations. If in doubt, definitely walk away!
