Another scam attempt with ebay auction....funny??

Ricardo

This is incredible...I just received a "second chance" offer that appears to be legitimate....with two exceptions:

1.-Requests NOT to respond, but email the "seller" directly...

and


2.- I AM THE SELLER :eek: :mad:

Can they be more stupid???

Here is the message, a link to the auction..... and for those who wonder why I did not offer this here, a link to a Flea MArket thread that did not receive much love... but hey, if there is anyone interested now just PM me

EDIT: Reading through the message I see that it actually mentions a pair of speakers I was bidding for, but if you see the title it refers to my auction; the interesting thing is that those AR went for over $1,000 and my bid was like $450...

I sent him an email saying I was interested; let's see what he does...

Ricardo

Here's his response:

"Hello,

Yes the speackers are still for sale...please let me know your ebay user id so i can take a look at your bid and tell you a price.

Thank you "

Hmmm...he sent me the offer, but asks me who I am? Does anyone ever fall on these scams?
