another scam listing.
this time I bid on it to get the user's listed name, not that it will do any good as it is usually false.
user id of p52walshuk
name: Paul Walsh
located allegedly from where the listing says it is.
Phone: (I removed the phone number)

note that this could be a real person who has no clue that his identity was stolen.
it could have come from a stolen credit card, so if you call the number, don't do so with the intent of berating the person, perhaps simply ask about the Scootacar.
If a "Paul Walsh" does answer and claims no knowledge of the car, then you might inform him that his contact info is being used on a fraudulent eBay account.
HOWEVER- if you call and he DOES claim to know about the Scootacar, that would be most interesting.

If anyone finds out that this guy had his ID stolen, I will edit this post to remove his information.

The phone number is listed privately in the contact info, not on the listing page.  Only that email address that is actually embedded in a JPG.

UPDATE: LISTING HAS BEEN YANKED by eBay. and the seller is no longer a Registered User

The brand SAMS always worried me with instant thoughts of guided missiles. Cold war conditioning and daft. Made some very handy kits of which I have a few that might one day be made up. Of course the hand made ones are in demand and another way to have a Microcar collection.
