i would agree that those are scams..look how they both have almost the same "advertised price" $9000 for a car that could easily sell for 3x that much?? hmm? smells like a scam.

Both sellers have 0 transactions. Smells kinda fishy. Ebay members since may 30/13 and Jun 1/13 Probably the same guy with different user name

Price is too low, they do smell fishy. The funny thing is the descriptions are fairly well written, usually you can tell by the poor English that they're scam auctions

Was probably pulled from the original sale, word for word. Definately a scam!

What does "contact the seller" mean?
I have never seen that on an eBay auction before. |

Contact the seller and tell them your coming to look at it... See what kind of response you get. I have no problem screwing with these losers, then threaten to hunt them down LOL.

They copy old ad text due to their ongoing problem with English....
Those ads: text and pics were/are up somewhere on the internet. Unless they can hack a seller account, they usually have 0 ratings....and "somewhere" in text is a way to contact them for quick money transfer (and your loss) The real enterprising scammers are here in US....coming through States and setting up local bank accounts , doing scams in area with local phone numbers.....beware of that...and they have good English skills. EDIT: I just looked at scam THE BOSS posted...looks like they have taken it down a notch and you have to contact through ebay (no contact in lisiting)...and thats a shame on ebay for taking so long to take these ads down.....even up for a day can catch a few buyers.... They should have some kind of review electronic or human before posting.....they make enough $ to fix this problem imo..... Last edited by JLHarper; 06-05-2013 at 09:01 AM. |
