Purchase of caravan

[tregi25]

We have been scamed by professionals and I am being polite. Caravan in Alice Springs at her Mothers, will be brought over free of charge and returned free of charge if not suitable. No mobile number. Van from divorce proceeds and for my children. 

Brought on E Bay and E bay will arrange delivery transfers etc. So she has informed us.  Is this correct?

Works at RAAF Edinburgh NT in medical field.  Being deployed can't phone only email.   Alex S  E Bay Financial Department Manager. ??? Sounds familiar now after reading blogs.

If you check the history of con artists & their assorted cons, this one pre-dates eBay by hundreds of years, and goes back at least to the Middle Ages in Europe.

Probably the ancestors of today's thieves, too, come to think of it.

Exactly what would the result be from reporting it to law enforcement?
