Nasty eBay scam



OK so many people think 'nasty eBay' anyway....BUT.............

Watch out for decent, highly rated sellers putting up electrical goods
(mobile phones, digital cameras) at low, but not silly prices on a
'buy it now' basis. They ask that buyers are pre-approved and a method
of payment is Western Union. They also say that they can even offer a
lower price than the B_I_N price.

The genuine sellers' identity has been hijacked!

I saw a great offer on the Sony P900 phone that Chris badly wants, and
when I sent a query about warranty to the registered user, I got a
reply in terrible English.....obviously a scam of some kind. I
notified eBay and the item has been removed from the innocent seller's
listings.

Watch out they could hijack your ID next...or mine.

BTW check out my **finished** auction for an 1804 miniature
almanack(sic)...search on the last word!......Any antique comments
from anyone?...also the **finished** 1909 Coronation souvenir

Cheers

Jon
