Heads Up - more "potential" Fake EBay Scopes

[Black Shuck]

Just seen these two on EBay. One 10", One 12" - Same seller (must be rich :shock:)!! Gives location as Devon, UK, but quotes prices in US Dollars. No payment method defined (not that I can see anyway).

What do you think??

On the first one that garage door seems remarkably familiar !!

They have both been removed in the last ten minutes or so.

Excellent. I reported them both - good to see ebay taking notice. There seem to have been a lot of these dodgy ones recently perhaps ebay are getting wise to them?

Great stuff. It's about time the took the warnings seriously. Too many scams in so many areas nowadays.

This world is becoming a real dodgy place. No one's safe nowadays.

That`s why i would`t shop on ebay though being 16 might have something to do with it

Good work Bill£..

If people keep reporting anything sus (and Ebay take some notice as they did with these ones) then maybe the scammers will move on to a softer target in another category - on the other hand the scams might just become more believable as the scammers learn where they went wrong. Personally I'd never spend serious money on Ebay no matter what it was or who was selling it.

Keep up the good work.
