I have my HT system on eBay at the minute & got a mail from some **** in
Poland asking if I wanted to buy his warehouse full of Plasma TV's. Of
course i sent him a big wad of money by western union just as he asked.
Wonder when they will arrive!

I tell you what mate, the place is full of scum at the minute, proper
****ing scum.

Nige

I've had about 20 auctions close in the last week, no scum at all.

A lot of it comes down to what you are buying/selling. Anything like plasma
or lcd tv's or high value electronic good attracts them like flies to ****!

You just do a WHOIS search. If, you go to a domain reseller, say,
www.virtualnames.co.uk and you search for electronicsshop.org or whatever.
It'll say the domain is not available. If you click on the "not available"
link, you're shown the registrant's information.

I'd take the details with a pinch of salt. If I was going to setup an
international fraud, I'd buy my domain with somebody else's credit card.
I'd not be surprised if this is what's happened here too.

I got one of these when I missed out on a bike I was bidding it.
It was word for word the same bar the item description , so I was mildly
amused to see that he had a 2000 W Suzuki GSX750F in the original box with
all the original accessories.

A right member indeed.

Most of the Ebay scammers stand out a mile off , but unfortunately people do
still seem to fall for them , or they wouldn't still be trying it on.

I've seen scammers do that to make bogus bids on their stuff. I guess
someone might think it makes it look more believable.

Don't forget to insist that you pay by PayPal, or even simpler just do a wire

Was thinking of asking him to send me a picture of the box with today's
