Trailer for sale

Found a trailer that I’m interested in purchasing on OfferUp she says because of a divorce eBay has trailer in one of their storage lots and she asked me for name address and phone to give eBay to contact me for 5 day inspection to for me so I can buy it . Is this how it works with eBay ?

"She" is a scammer, possibly even in another country.

No trailer, no divorce, no eBay storage  - complete fraud.

Report it to the website you found it on.

They can be relentless if they smell a possible victim.

Be careful out there.

Scammers use fake names -- or sometimes the names of past victims -- so there is not much point in publicizing a particular name or a throwaway email address. The same scammer will use dozens or hundreds of different names over time, and none of those names have any connection to the actual scammer.

 

The important thing is to recognize the common script the scammers use so you can spot it the next time you see it: Too good to be true deal, typically attributed to woman with a sob story selling cheaply due to one of the three "D"s (Death, Divorce, Deployment), found on another site but claiming that eBay will "handle the deal", a request for contact information so that an "eBay" "invoice" can be sent, offering free shipping from an eBay warehouse, asking for gift cards for payment, offering a five day free trial, after which you can return the vehicle for free with no obligation.
