Complaint Review: Laura Roberts

This individual promised to sell 2 - 2007 Yamaha Waverunners FX Series w/ Trailer 4x emailing that they were already at the shippers location and were ready to be sent  via ebay motors. They insist that it is a great price and she has to sell because her husband got a job and they have to move in New York.  The correspondence further has a linc to photos and even a slideshow of the 2007 waverunners and trailer on an picasa website. She further wrote that if we can make the deal inside the next two days that the shipping will be free and that she needs a full name so that a Western Union money transfer can be arranged. She assures that an ebay motors neutral agent will recieve the money and hold it until the signed title and waverunners are in your possession and inspected for release of said funds. I recieved aan email that was to have come from ebay including official looking invoice and a thank you note from what appeared to be an official ebay correspondence on forwarded ebay letterhead and signed by an ebay agent. After calling ebay and asking them to check the invoice number against their records, they told me there was no transaction record and explained that ebay never never recommends that Western Union be used to transfer funds. They also explained that an item number is always associated with any item for sale or auction. The real ebay correspondent told me to cancel the money transfer immediatly and I did. It still cost me $191 in fees but I managed to stop the  transfer before their fake "neutral agent" recieved the funds at the NY, NY address. IF ANYONE ASKS FOR A WESTERN UNION CASH MONEY TRANSFER IT IS A SCAM 100% OF THE TIME. BUYER BEWARE! tHESE PEOPLE ARE SLEAZY AND PROFESSIONALS.
