eBay Scam
Dear reboog,
I am the eBay seller of ***PRIMERA BRAVO PRO CD/DVD DUPLICATOR & PRINTER *** item number 8812478135. You expressed interest in my item by bidding, however the auction has ended with another eBay member as the high bidder. Because the winner of my auction didn't respond to my emails after winning the auction, I want to issue a second chance offer to you. There are a lot of bidders who bid on the auction for fun and I hope you are serious buyer and we can make a clear deal. If you accept my second chance offer we will be eligible for eBay services associated with a transaction, such as fraud protection. To purchase my item please reply me.
P.S. If you are interested i will wait your reply asap.
Thank you
"Gee" thinks I. "That sounds potentially promising. But, I don't want to get taken for a bunch of money outside the eBay system." Second Chance offers might be legit, according to the eBay regulations. However, this 'second chance offer' was recieved at my personal e-mail; not through the eBay system.
I pointed my browser to eBay and searches on the item number 8812478135.
Make note of the aucion winner (drm2001).
I click the feedback rating for the seller. The auction winner left this feedback:
That doesn't sound like someone who didn't respond. I click "Left for Others" to see if the seller left feedback for the buyer. Yep, they did.
Either the seller is an expert scammer in some manner; or the person who contacted me, above, is not the seller at all. I'm not going to pursue this.
