spindizzy Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 (edited) This ebay posting is a scam. I bought this instrument a while ago from Australia. http://cgi.ebay.com/WHEATSTONE-ENGLISH-56-...1QQcmdZViewItem Looks like an account highjack .... the seller has feedback but nothing for 3 years. This one is much less obvious than usual, so thanks for the alert.... Edited August 4, 2006 by spindizzy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Chambers Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 And I'm alarmed to see that it's still for sale, finishing in less than 24 hours. When I saw that it was still there, a couple of days ago, I reported it to eBay (and maybe others have too?) but they seem to have decided to take no action. Somebody's likely to get caught here!

Daniel Hersh Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 I wonder if someone should warn the bidders via eBay "send a message"...

Geraghty Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 (edited) I wonder if someone should warn the bidders via eBay "send a message"... I'm on it; emailing the following to all bidders: "Please see the following webpage for a discussion of the instrument you are bidding on. If you do not trust the link, please feel free to type it into your browser yourself. There is a chance that the auction you're bidding on is a scam. http://www.concertina.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=4393 " Modified to add...I was only able to email the top two bidders (yellowed_pages and gcoover) before ebay started blocking my messages. Someone(s) else will have to do the others.. I've also reported it to ebay. Edited August 10, 2006 by Geraghty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
