God knows whats going on there, somethings not right thats for sure

 

[cupra-c_ya]

Thats what I thought, not right at all.
some poor sod will get stung on this one, hijacked account or something.
cant receive emails because he has reached his storage limit, yeh rite. why would you not just delete them to make room?

dodgy, dodgy!

he quotes...... 'Bag yourself the CHEAPEST 225 IN THE COUNTRY!!'

'BUY IT NOW FOR £3500'

 

[aphix]

its a fake... someone is using a hijacked account.. (you know where you get emails that appear to come from ebay saying.. your secuirty settings have changed.. click this link to log in)

always be very wary of people who say "i cant be contacted through ask the seller" and then blantantly put an email address.

They put a silly price .. and their email address .. some sees it and thinks.. Fcuk me.. bargain.. buy now. send a deposit thinking they are securing the car.. and loose the money..

needs reporting to ebay then, will do as some poor sod will get ripped off.
I think this has been done as a 1 day auction hoping to catch people out!
what a :w4nk: this person is

 

[andycupra]

postage to from USA!?

avoid. hes got a buy it now but not on ebay. only via hotmail.

 

[SHADY-NINJA]

Excuse my french but i'll ask the flameing b@stard if i could test drive the car tomorrow and see what he says.
The idiot deserves some serious knuckle dusting in his face and a couple of broken ribs for what he is doing.

He was on ebay over the weekend trying the same scam with two audi's.

I'm looking to buy a 2004 Audi A4 quattro S-line and he was selling one.
I got in contact and he said he moved to Italy and would pay to ship it back over as he had moved there with his family.

He sent me some details of a bugus payment protection scheme where he had £20000 in ebay..

The whole thing sounded weird. I replied and said that it sounded to good to be true. Wished him good luck and moved on.

Two days later another car same spec same details and price US registered although it was in a different colour.

Reported it to ebay then emailed him to tell him he's a :w4nk:

Thought he would move on to something else and low and behold here he is.

Sounds like a new scam to me. I just don't know how they can get away with it as clearly it's a US account and has +ve feedback and all the gubins that suggest's he's a valued ebay user.

People are going to fall for this which is the worrying thing.

 

[Icecavern]

You have to be pretty stupid to fall for it though. Lets face it that's a 3rd of the price you'd expect it to be selling at...

 

[Ruddmeister]

Item has been removed now

 

[BHP Addict]

Ye it has, I think someone complained about it.

F**KIN TWAT it's people like him that ruin it for people that are genuine sellers (and buyers)

 

[cupra-c_ya]

glad its been removed, I reported the :w4nk:
however ebays reply email did not say anything about it but was going on about want it now posts etc, WTF?
at least it's been removed, kawasaki-ninja lol, good reply!

also as said you would have to be pretty foolish to fall for it, but you always get someone who thinks they are getting a bargain.

 

[AndyHazza]

I've seen it on there before for things like anniversary MK4's and R32's for £5k or something like that. As far as i know its normally linked to money laundering etc.

 

[Sam20v]

I buy an sell a lot on ebay, and have reported d1ckh3ads like him numerous times and get the distinct impression ebay dont care, they send an automated response listing options you haveusually cos they assume you have a non payment prob. Not that in fact you are reporting some wrong doing.......GETS!!!

still a good site tho, just gotta be vigilant!!!

 

[SHADY-NINJA]

at least it's been removed, kawasaki-ninja lol, good reply!

your welcome any time.
