Scam or bargain?
« on: December 07, 2009, 11:44:19 pm »
Ebay item number 1300375405219 I think someone has lifted this picture from a previous listing and is scamming it. Of course it could be a legitimate bargain!

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300375405219

it is most definitely a scam and you should report it.  Good eyes Bob!

It was previously listed as an auction item and did not sell by another seller in London.
This seller has it as a classified ad for £3700

A ridiculously low price coupled with a "classified" listing screams SCAM.  
The owner of that eBay account probably had his account hacked and someone is using it to try and find a sucker.

The ad appears to have been removed, they've been rumbled!
