After searching for a few weeks for an ATV on ebay I finally ran accross on that I liked... It looked in really good shape and the starting price was in my price range... I e-mail the seller asking for shipping cost and he replied that shipping is included. The seller lives in Germany.
AFter a few more e-mail back and forth he "contacted" the third party to handle the funds and I got what looked like an offical e-mail and website from Square trade who is a legit business. I proceeded with the purchase sending what I thought was the company a western union payment of $2500... Now three days later I haven't heard from him and he won't respond to my e-mails.
Searching further into the e-mail that he sent me and his feedbacks I came to the conclusion that I have been scammed. It appears that the feedbacks shown on ebay were taken from someone else. The second e-mail from the fake "Square trade" confirmed that I have been scammed... He has already picked up the money... I work long and hard to save that money so that I can finally have a quad... I'm searching for a way to get this guy and stop him from doing this to other people and if possible get my money back. The latter is probably impossable...
