Ebay Buyer Protection Program, Amanda Benson Jeep Wrangler $2000 Craigslist and Ebay scam Omaha, Nebraska Internet
Report Attachments
On Tuesday October 6, 2015 around 10 pm, I found a 2003 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon with 41K miles listed for $2000 dollars on Craigslist. The add was under the Cleveland listings with a location of Bedford Heights. It said if intrested contact Amanda at her email.
I proceded to contact her and ask if I could come look at the jeep with my father. She then proceded to tell me the jeep was located at an ebay storage facility near Omaha, NE where she was now living. She said if we wanted to see the jeep she could open a claim with Ebay Buyer Protection Services and have it shipped here.
How the shipping would work it I would buy $2000 dollars in PayPal myCash cards and call them into eBay when they sent me the invoice. I called on Saturday the 10th and talked to a guy named David for about 30 seconds before the call droped. I called several more times and the call never went through.
David then called be back on Sunday morning as said they had an issue with the phone lines. I read him the card number for the myCash cards and he said the jeep will be delivered around 8pm on Tuesday the 13th. I asked him to send me either a tracking number or information to contact the shipper and never recieved it.
On Monday afternoon I recieved another email from eBay buyer proctection services saying that they needed an aditiononal $1500 to insure the jeep once it reached Ohio. There was some new law. I called the 800 number that I called to pay the $2000.
I talked to David again and he assured me the money would be given back to me once the jeep arrived at my house and the seller had already paid her part of the insurance. I payed the $1500 in the same way that I paid the $2000.
Later that night my boyfriends Dad found the same jeep listed on line with a bunch of warnings about it being a scam. I cannot get a hold of the Amanda Benson and every time I call the Ebay Buyer Protection Services I get David and he hangs up.
There is a report on file with the Geauga County Sheriffs Office. PayPal myCash Services is traking the cards I used to pay for everything and is waiting to hear from lawenforecment.

The same thing happened to me only the car was at the Houston Ebay warehouse and the name was Jessica Wilks. What do I do now? I just found out it was a scam about an hour ago. :(

Your tongue was hanging out so far for this dumb car, common sense, if you have any, was thrown out the window! $2000 for a Jeep with 41k miles on it and YOU FELL FOR THIS??? Oh yes...its ALL THEIR FAULT!
You need to quickly get yourself a keeper.
