Catching scammers

[email protected]. Someone tried to scam me on an airstream from this email add. there was also an add for an acrua in dec 2012 from same gmail. Email invoice came from [email protected] , which is now up for sale by owner. My question is why cant ebay or someone catch them when they have the web site for sale, there has to be a way to track the money?

Well, I would never buy something on the basis of an unsolicited email.

I'm guessing the price was too good to be true?

At least if you buy through eBay using PayPal you are protected to a large extent.

There is a lot of it about, the Internet is the new Wild West - exciting, endless possibilities, but dangerous in places.
