I saw a tractor listed on E-bay and sent an e-mail to the seller, received a reply. I inquired about getting someone to inspect the tractor for me. The seller e-mailed back that she was in Denmark and couldn’t come over to show the tractor every time someone wanted to see it and suggested that we do everything through e-bay and that my Money would be protected until the tractor was delivered and I had the opportunity to inspect it. I agreed to this and then received an “Invoice e-mail” with payment instructions. I also received an e-mail and a call from “e-bay customer support” offering live chat support to help me with the transaction. All very convincing. I was very close to sending the money when I checked My E-Bay to see if the transaction appeared in my purchase history which it didn’t. I then did a Google search for e-bay VPP and found this web site.
