Title: Suspicious auction
Post by: Bob Purton on July 01, 2013, 10:51:18 pm

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1960-Red-BMW-Isetta-bubble-car-/181168344801?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item2a2e798ee1

The one looks dodgy to me, " dont contact me through the ebay system, zero rated seller, buy it now , £10.000 car for £3,000?

I've reported it, need several other people to do the same so it gets removed by eBay

I've also reported it. Looks like the info and pictures came from here.

I reported it too. Looks like it paid off as it's now been removed.  Well worth reporting these scams as it could have saved some unsuspecting soul  losing a lot of money to a fraudster.
