A 58-year-old dad has lost thousands of pounds after buying a holiday home in Bulgaria which turned out to be s scam. The man, who has asked not to be named, paid £7,000 for the three-bedroom home in Dolna Lipnitsa after finding it on eBay.
Throughout lockdown he paid £300 a month for the property and was sent a set of keys. But when he was finally able to travel to Bulgaria he found it was a scam.
He told the ECHO : "I saw an advertisement on eBay and I wasn't in a position to pay outright for it so I sent an email and said 'can I do monthly payments until I can get over there?' Because with covid I couldn't get over there.'
