Criminals are using eBay to sell stolen and cloned cars, a BBC investigation has revealed.

The vehicles were being sold in Greater Manchester via at least three accounts after having their details switched with legitimate cars.

Among the victims was a retired police officer who lost £17,000 buying a Mercedes from a seller in Rochdale.

He said he reported the incident to the police, but no action was taken. Police said the decision is being reviewed.

Former police officer Graham Murray lost his money after buying a Mercedes C-class in Rochdale two months ago, leaving him "devastated".

He said he reported the case to police and has questioned why the fraudulent eBay sellers have not yet been caught.

It's safer to buy used Yugos.

    concentration camps for immigrants

    Close not quite, the legals are fine plus or minus some weirdness in the regulations that needs fine tuning, the illegals simply need to go home, the camps are for the real troublemakers virtually all are domestic terrorists.

    I'm definitely not anti-white like most on the left. I'd say that's my residual libertarianism speaking in that in my set of people I'm more "not anti-white" and live and let live. There are more hardline people, although I'd never punch right-ward there are some interesting aspects I'd not endorse. "white sharia" uh ...

    There's a lot of pithy political sayings about someone with a heart under 30 is a liberal and someone with a brain over 40 is a conservative and all that and my pithy saying of the day is a natsoc is just a former libertarian who no longer worships the false god of unregulated capitalism. Capitalism is kind of like sex, for most people its better without government regulation and intervention but the guy yelling loudest about how we need to get the government out is exactly the guy we need to regulate the most because unlike 99% of the population he wants to rape your pet goat, or your kids or your wife. So yeah that's kind of how it is with capitalism, and libertarianism, and natsoc.

    The meta issue is the whole point is, news at 11, cops are racist, try not to act all surprised, so when they do something racist try not to act all surprised. Somehow noticing that makes me casually racist, LOL.

    The meta meta issue is you want to intimidate a leftist or a normie or neocon you call them a racist. You call a natsoc a casual racist and its like, uh, yeah, and the sun rises in the east ya got a point there or something?

    Internally natsoc don't call themselves racist the more common phrase is race realism which fairly accurately reflects beliefs and behaviors.
