The publisher, David Wilinson of Boatzone that carried fake boat adverts has taken down the website, writes Paul Lillie.
He did this due to repeated advert frauds, and I really commend him for doing this as he did not have to do it, but wanted to ensure no one was defrauded.
Be vigilant
It might be good for readers to be vigilant and report to Paypal if any of these instances occur again in other websites.
The Paypal reporting email is:
Paypal were really grateful for the information when I called them. They act very fast on these matters and can stop or at least delay these fraudsters from getting set up on Paypal again.
This person copying and posting fake narrowboat adverts seems to be a repeat offender. He/she seems to know a bit about the industry and what to copy, or how to respond to enquiries, so let's keep everyone spotting them first and hounding them out of town!
