My Latest E-bay Scam Watch This one

3macs1 · #1 02-23-2007, 10:15 PM

This may not be new to you guys but I thought best to share just in case. Seen a set of BBC exhaust manifolds on and contacted the seller to get the casting dates.He came back with the dates which were not correct, during the conversation I asked if he had any more and if he would have a set for an impala also. He indicated he had about 40 mainfolds and would get back to me with some pictures.Seemed to know what he was talking about. Over the next few days I got probally 10 pictures at three or four different times of BBC manifolds all incorrect. I finally said look I will send you pictures rather than you just looking for the part numbers. He got the pictures and said he would get back to me. So he did with a picture of one side that was all he had.I passed and said I would wait for the pair. Last night I got another e-mail saying he found the other on e-bay hit this link and have a look. By now we have been talking back and forth a week.
I don't hit the links any more and went back and said just give me the e-bay number and I will check it out.No No hit the link. I said you are a scammer aren't you.
That was it no more e-mails and the auctions are all closed. Problem was he had over 56 positive feedbacks.I reported it to e-bay for what good that is going to do.
Just another heads up.

Hi Bob:
Seems since I started selling a few items I have a target on my head. I never had a issue since 99 when I was just buying.Seems they focus on the sellers from what I have been seeing.
Take care Joe
