So bad, he listed it twice...

[david robertson]

Here comes the familiar old tenor/treble scam again - but this time he's listed it twice, each one with a different ID! Surely this is what we might call a bit of a giveaway - and evidence that this scammer's IQ is an approximate match for his shoe size.

I read an article recently suggesting that scammers need to be fairly obvious about it to be successful. The point is that if you are obvious about it, any enquiries come from the gullible who are more likely to move on to have their money extracted from them. If you are less obvious about it, the enquiries are much more numerous, and many contacts will lead nowhere as the less gullible start to smell the smell, thus wasting a lot of the scammer's time. Though of course on ebay very obvious scams are removed byu the managemetn before they can go to completion.
