if anyone is on any embroidery groups it would be good to get the message out there, wonder if Gmail are aware that the accounts are being used for fraud - ebay should remove the add simply because the 2nd photo just shows you how to contact them and avoid ebay all together !! lorypj2000@gmail.com

Even though the Roland that Skye mentioned is a closed listing, there was still the option for reporting that too - so I did :) I don't know if there is a facility to raise concerns with gmail - I'm still struggling to get a message to the real Paul Lory whose passport (or a copy of) is in the wrong hands.

Is putting a picture with contact details a new trend or just something to be avoided. This one has done the same, though different details 161474203589

Not looked at ebay for ages

Different, but has that same air of dodginess! I would be very wary of them all - strange how it's another embroidery machine.

I've completed an online report for gmail so hopefully it will protect those who are currently liaising with the fake Paul Lory on his various listings where he is using that particular address.
I expected him to run away when I suggested I pay him a visit and collect the machine, so when he gave me the Banchory address I said as luck would have it I would be on business in nearby Aberdeen next week. Guess what, he can't wait that long!
The listing is STILL open and bids are now at over £300 with 24 bids :(

This was the detail on the current listing - the one I posted earlier, although similar was on another
