A dad-of-four was scammed out of thousands of pounds for a holiday home he found on eBay.
David* (not his real name), from Skelmserdale, decided to buy the three bedroom holiday home in the village of Dolna Lipnitsa in Bulgaria after coming across an advertisement on eBay during lockdown. The 58-year-old said he was in regular contact with the apparent owner of the property, and he agreed to pay the £7,000 asking price in monthly instalments of £300 via bank transfer.
It wasn't until David went over to Bulgaria in May this year to see the holiday home that he realised he'd been scammed.
