Shane was selling a 2001 GMC 1500 Pick Up on AutoTrader.ca He told me that he is currently in Spain (transferred for his job) and that the truck was at a shipping compound in Thunder Bay, ON Canada. The truck was $4000 which included e-test, certified and shipping (he won free shipping in a promotion). I told him I was wary of purchasing a vehicle that I never seen, test drove etc and he said that the transaction is done through eBay, which is protected. He said he would not receive any money until I emailed eBay ([email protected]) and told them that the vehicle is in 100% condition as advertised. I had to make a $2000 deposit by WesternUnion and provide eBay with the MTCN #. Once I confirmed the payment, I sent them the information and then I was informed that the shipping proess was underway. Ebay then confirmed that the truck would be shipped on Monday, June 25, 2012, and that the shipping company would contact me 2 hours prior to the delivery. EBay then sent me an email asking for the final $2000, which I sent. I received an email from Shane stating that I would love the truck and I haven't heard anything from him since. I have emailed him asking for the tracking number. I then starting looking online and found that there are scams out there with his name and same information.

I feel sick to my stomach. I have all the emails and pictures of the truck that he was selling.

  • Dear poster,

    I sincerely thank you for sharing your very unfortunate experience here. Just today, I was in contact with this same Shane, same details (Spain, Thunder Bay, EBay, Return Policy, etc.), except the vehicle was a 2003 Sienna. The details on this vehicle were also very enticing. I was considering having him send it my way, and for me to commit the deposit. But I googled his name and found your post. I really hope you can claim back your funds. I thought Ebay was a trustworthy name. This will allow me to second guess next time, why such a good vehicle is not sold for a better price through more conventional means. This may not mean much now, but my sincere gratitude to you for helping me to avoid this guy's trap. Best wishes to you.

  • Same as Gideon. Thank you for sharing your experience. I inquired about a 2003 Nissan Murano posted on Autotrader that sounded too good to be true and received the same cock and bull story.

    "Hi

    The vehicle is still available for sale, price as stated in the ad $5000.It's in perfect working order, no wear and tear, no scratches, it wasn't involved in any accidents.I moved to Spain with my work but I left the vehicle at a shipping company in Thunder Bay, Ontario.All shipping costs and insurance during transportation are included in the price, I won a promotion(1 free shipping). You will also receive all necessary documents in order to finalize the purchase.Email me back if you're interested and have further questions."

    I googled his name and found your post.

    Thanks again.
