Hi my name is Latisha Vaisa and I live in Farmington New Mexico with my son and Fiance. Recently we found a boat from a seller in California, so we thought. For a week or so we exchanged e-mails. During this time the seller let us know that she was getting rid of her boat due to losing her husband in iraq. She explained that she was selling her boat through eBay so that the both of us would be protected. In the e-mails it show that the money will be sent to an eBay agent in San Jose California where it will be put in an escrow account. From there the eBay agent will keep it until the buyer inspects the item and decides to keep it. During this time I got several e-mails from an eBay site that all looked like we were being protected by ebays protection program. Come to find out it was a fake page and someone is out there with 5900.00 dollars of ours. I contacted money gram and they said that the money had been picked up in Broklyn New York. They said they were unable to tell us the exact location of the pick up due to there privacy policy. What we don't understand is how on all these e-mails that were sent to us by ebay, link to the real eBay site. We have contacted eBay and they have stated that they are not responsable. Then who is? We have contacted the FBI in Albuquerque and are going to do whatever it takes to getting our money back. We have saved all our e-mails/money gram receipts that we exchanged with the seller and eBay so we are taking this very serious. I hope you guys can do whatever it takes to helping us catch these people and getting our money back. I hear about scams like this every day, but I never thought it would happent to my family.
