Another Jeffries Scam?

Does anyone recognise this?

I would say that the included text, "Here is a quote from the above thread: ..." looks suspicious when there is no "above thread". Someone else's text copied, with parts deleted?

 

And the bit about the flute sounds familiar. I don't think this is the first scam-copy we've reported for this one.

 

Hey Ken, how about a new subForum: "Scam of the Week"?

 

Just kidding!

No feedback history, Buyer ID private....

 

Not only has this been on before, it has also been on as a scam before! It's interesting that he will ship only to the UK this time. Is he hiding from past US victims I wonder.

Yep,

 

It is a scam. The actual instrument is up for sale again by the original buyer (in Japan, wakasaboama). That sale is, I believe, genuine unless they've stolen his identity. I think the scammer tried it a few days ago and here he is, back again.

Two separate auctions have been presented in this thread, though they appear to be the same instrument. To lay it out, I hope a little more clearly:

is the scam.

 

The concertina is on again here

[this one]

Apparently being sold by wakasaobama

appears to be genuine.

 

Since wakasaobama is a member here -- in fact, he has already posted in this thread about the scam, -- I expect he'll tell us quite soon whether the second one is really his.

Dear C.net members

 

I’m not stolen my ebay account. :)

I destroyed the scammer’s auction. (The scammer early-ended the auction only 2 days.) B)

But, the scammer’s ebay account is still alive. :angry:

So, I reported ebay today.

No sooner does Wakasaobama's genuine auction end (reserve not met), the concertina is back up for sale, this time from China!
