eBay scam alert

RobMacki · 30th October 2004, 05:36 AM

I'm not sure of the best forum for this but there are two Procontrols with the same photo. One is insanely cheep. I emailed the seller and got an answer but it sounded like he didn't know what he was talking about. I emailed both and asked if this is the exact photo of the unit.

Seller of PC 2 just emailed me back with this response:

Dear rmacki,

You asked:
"Is this the exact photo of the unit?"

Yes, the picture you see in the auction belongs to the exact unit.

neither looks legit. If i had to pick one i would say the second one it looks like he may just buy things and sells them, but it could be a hijacked account also.

the first one is definately a scam stay far away from it.

Definitely sounds like a scam !! I ran into 2 scammers in a row on ebay ... a U87 and a vt737. Both wanted western union ... never buy anything with direct cash payments !!

Weird how every Ebay scam I've seen in the last couple of weeks says the item's being sold out of London.

I just got an email back from seller of PC 1 (with 0 feedback)

here is his reply:

I also informed eBay about it. I guess we'll see what happens.

PC 1 turned out to be the scam.
I was in communication with the seller of PC 2 and turns out he was legit.
