Hi All,
I've just been victim to an eBay fraud advertising trailers on eBay under someone else's account.
They raised an, what I thought to be a genuine, eBay invoice with all the right graphics and links for me to pay the money by bank transfer.
Found out 30 minutes after the transfer it was a fraud. Phoned the bank, Lloyds TSB, and they said because I paid the money willingly, they won't help and are not liable.
Phoned Barclays (where the fraudster has their account), they are not doing anything, because apparently the fraudster has the right to privacy and the money is now his.
Phoned eBay, they said nothing to do with them (even though as I had found out the REAL holder of the eBay account had already reported that her eBay account had been hacked into, but had just been told to change her password!!!
Phoned the police - nothing to do with them!!!
Phoned Action Fraud - logged a cased - they said it would most likely not be pursued!!!
IS THERE ANYONE HERE WHO MIGHT BE ABLE TO HELP - PLEASE???
Thanks for listening
