He moved to England, I wonder how his sisters health problems are? He also has the Polaris Ranger 6 x 6 for sale, I wanted a shot at the John Deere tractor. Keep your eyes open!

Look at the Categories it is listed in! That one is really easy to find...

BTW never heard of an Airstream Shoe with Slideout (what will it look like??). And that 34' Costume won´t fit me, I am pretty shure

I was happy to just run it up high enough where the scammer can't do anything with it anymore. I didn't email him, but I did email the seller. That will be fun won't it?

Hey, why not run it up to $100,000?
I'll play...

One of you guys want to offer him an Intrepid to tow it with?

Party's over, Ebay pulled the add. 65GT, you were the high bidder (again)

Chaplain Kent · 01-17-2006, 04:59 AM

I had e-mailed him asking him why the trailer was located in England with an Ohio registration? He replied promptly! He stated that it was a miss-print and the trailer was really in California. I forwarded the e-mail to eBay SafeHarbor.

I contacted eBay yesterday about the time I posted the return of this clown. It took them forever to get around to it, but it has been yanked.

It's jerks like that who really muck things up for the rest of us.

Something tells me though that he or she (maybe it) will return.

**azflycaster** · 01-17-2006, 12:34 PM

New listing today, 1 day only no reserve! $5200 buy me now. that was blown by a bid most likely by the "seller" himself! It's a 2005 Safari Bambi. Is it too small for 65GT? http://cgi.ebay.com/2005-AIRSTREAM-1...QQcmdZViewItem

Hi - I have changed the name of this thread and added the word "scams" as it more accuratly reflects the topic.

I think this is a really interesting kind of e-militia thread...

Janet,
Thanks for the name change, it is a much better fit!

The seller and eBay were both notified about this one.

I've given a heads up to two othe sellers -- they don't know their account has been compromised right away.

The scammer apparently hijacks a good account, creates a similar off-eBay email and goes from there.

While I think scammers should be harrassed and have their time wasted as much as possible, I wouldn't be bidding on too many of these auctions. Here's the thing - you know how you get these phishing scams all the time that try to steal your password info (which is probably how these people got their account hijacked in the first place) and ebay and paypal have a special address they want you to send them to when you get them. I figured this was so that someone would hunt down the bas**rds doing it and shut them down. Apparently not. After we'd forwarded a number of these emails to Paypal they made US change our password and do some security stuff to get access to our own account again! Apparently they decided WE were a security risk because we received a lot of Phising scam emails! Well, yeah, we probably get ten or twenty a day to our business account, but we don't fall for them! So we don't bother to forward them to ebay and paypal anymore because clearly they aren't interested in going after the scammers in any way - they're probably in some far away country where they can't be touched anyhow. Much easier to come harass their own customers who clearly know it's a phishing scam email, because we're the ones who forwarded it to their scam dept!

But I figure if you keep winning these scam bids they'll probably decide you're gullible and lock you out of your own account!

How did you notify ebay? I always get lost trying to find a simple way to notify them?

**azflycaster** · 01-17-2006, 01:06 PM

I just went back to the ebay auction and the seller has cancelled all of the bids, he states that it is a buy it now only auction! I wonder how long it will take ebay to kill this thing?
