THIS just happened to me today too, with this exact scenario using this number as supposedly customer support to make it look like a legit eBay invoice.  This was supposedly from a lady as well --probably not-- using the exact same disarming evil tactic, her son dead exactly 3 mos ago, he was killed in a car accident, hit by drunk driver, ridiculously cheap, clean, perfect 2004 F150.  I thought it strange the appearance of the lot the truck was on and felt unsettled that it was too good to be true.  That's a good rule.  Too good to be true.

I researched eBay VPP scams and learned a lot tonight.  And people are so sickening.  To prey on others like predators.  I am sure this scam is successful, it's still going for a reason and there are  many version of it over the net.  I'm embarrassed I even believed it to begin with.

Never buy from eBay on Craigs.lol  Duhh

This guy is a real schister and deserves a pole shoved up his you know what.  I did not get sucked in because he made too many careless mistakes that tipped me off.  For example, ebay would never use an email address as ebay@sales-invoice.com, He's been stealing identities and setting up accounts at large banks.

I feel bad for those  who have been ripped off by him. I am willing to be a witness for those who have lost  money to this SOB.

However, traps have been set for this guy, so I hope he continues because if he does, he's going to the slammer and justice will be served. David, if you are reading this, you should be real nervous. There is a long thick pole waiting for you.

My husband found a 2003 Toyota Tacoma on Craigslist for cheap. When inquiring about it, the woman said her son died 3 months ago when him and his girlfriend were hit and killed by a drunk driver. She was selling the vehicle cheap because it only caused her more pain to keep it. My husband was then told he could pay for it via ebay, the car would be shipped to him and if he wasn't happy with it, he could return it. Shipping would be free. He gave me the # 402-509-7036 (which they said was ebay customer service) to verify it was a legit deal. Thank heavens for this website!! There is a special place in Hell for people running scams like this!.

This web page is doing service to many.  I did not look for it but from now I plan to do a little more homework before committing.  Luckily the scammer made some stupid moves with me and I was able to see right through it

Pissed,
Your husband can do service by reporting to the bank the accounts that the scammer gave him .  Just go to the local bank and give them the info. The banks are really interested in tracking these people down and giving these bozos the justice they deserve.  They have a better chance of catching this guy than law enforcement in my opinion.  There is a whole branch at these banks that work on these cases in cyber space.  Just curious did this happen to your husband just recently?

She told me the same thing, for a car super new, I was like a dream, this [***] made me dream with the car, It was so perfect but it never happened. When I went to the bank to ask for a loan the banker saw that was a scam. I felt so stupid. I will put them down. She lied to me with the dead son story. What a [***]...
But I will take all that network down , and I already started. They did so much crimes that the police is already looking for them to shut them down.
