Ana T./ Ana Coleman Alexander Wolsen Attempted to sell a Kubota tractor using fraudulent eBay web address & req. pymt. be sent via Western Union to London Crawford, Nebraska
Ana T./ Ana Coleman is advertising a 2006/2007 Kubota BX23 4X4 Diesel tractor for sale on Craiglist for $2800.00. Once she receives a response to her ad, she replies via email that the reason she is selling the tractor at such a reduced price is that she is a divorced mother of two and that she got the tractor in her divorce settlement and that she doesn't need it. She further states that she w/be using eBays Buyer Protection Program to facilitate the sale and that she wll be responsible for all shipping costs. That w/be from Crawford, NE. to Noxapater, MS.
In subsequent emails she ignores requests for direct phone contact, even after she was emailed our home and cell phone numbers. Lengthy periods of time pass where we don't here from her. So long, in fact we think that possibly she has limited computer usage available to her. Then we will receive a email stating that once again, she is willing to sell us the tractor and stressing she be w/be using eBay and that we should have received an email from eBay by now with all the necessary information.
After approx. three weeks of inconsistent emails we then receive an email stating we should check our spam/junk email file, due to the filters in place, emails could be routed there. Of course there are no emails in junk/spam files.
We finally received an email with a case number that looks to be from eBay. This email further requests that we wire the $2800.00 selling fee, using Western Union and send to Alexander Wolsen at 7 DIxon Close in London, England E6 5QF. Mr. Wolson is representated to be the escrow agent for eBay who has been assigned to this transaction.
The email address being used by Ana T./Ana Coleman is ana22che@live.com.
We are sending this report to hopefully prevent anyone from being taken advantage of by this scam. To protect oneself before a purchase use the information available to you on the web regarding spoof (fake) eBay website, acceptable methods of pymt.,etc.
Without knowing that this in fact true, maybe just a coincidence, there is a report on file w/Ripoff Report from 2009 describing a similar scenario. This involves the sale of a Honda, soldier has to sell as he is being shipped out, really reasonable selling price and that he will also be responsible for all shipping charges to the buyer. Selling parties named in the Honda scam are Olga T. and Alexander Wilson. Selling parties listed in the Kubota scam are Anna T. and Alexander Wolson.
