    Are the banks open tomorrow?? I'm going to beat you to it Scouse

    My mate's ebay got hijacked a couple of weeks ago and someone put a Triumph Stag on for £1900, probably worth about £8000. Got into his googlemail account and diverted all the emails coming from ebay to elsewhere and deleted them from the inbox as well. He was gutted, I think mainly because it was a Triumph

    Re: another scam ?????

    i asked if it was still for sale and got this

    Hello,

    Thank you for the email. As you can see in the pics the car is in very good condition.
    I am selling this car for £2100 including delivery anywhere in UK. I think this is a low price but i need cash for a family emergency. I have to tell you that I'm currently out of town with some major problems so pick up/view isn't an option. If you want to buy this vehicle email me back with your full name and address to start the official procedure trough eBay. They will send you a notification with ALL the info regarding delivery, purchase protection and refund policy so please provide your details before more questions. You will find 90% of answers in that notification from eBay! If you can not respond through eBay (i will now remove the car from ebay) you can email me directly at mtrs1970@aol.com.
    Will wait to hear from you.

    Thanks!

    bargin hahah

    Re: another scam ?????

    update.......

    Pick up/Cash on delivery is not possible because i am out of town and the shipping company will take care of delivery. That's why I'm offering free delivery and a refund policy... if you read the notification from eBay you will see that you have 5 days to request a refund...90% of ebay seller's don't offer this refund policy so once you pay for your item you don't have the possibility to request a refund if you are not happy with your purchase.
    There's no problem if you decline the deal now because i've been contacted by someone else interested to buy this car. First come first served! If you decide to buy this car, send me your name and address to start the official procedure trough eBay.


    Thank you!

    Re: another scam ?????

    looks they are onto him

    We'd like to let you know that an email you received recently from 7279ralph may be untrustworthy. We encourage you to be cautious about emails from this member and we recommend that you don't respond to any further communication from them.

    Our records indicate that you recently sent an email to, or received an email from this member through the eBay email system (e.g. via "Ask Seller a Question" or "Contact eBay Member").

    Sometimes people misuse eBay accounts by sending emails inviting you to buy or sell outside of eBay. They may also send questions unrelated to eBay - hoping that you will respond so that they can obtain your email address.

    If someone asks you to buy or sell an item outside of the eBay platform, we strongly recommend that you ignore the request. Off-eBay transactions are not protected by our Feedback system and protection services. To find out more, copy this link into a new browser window:

    http://pages.ebay.co.uk/help/tp/isgw...-non-ebay.html

    Recognising genuine Second Chance Offers

    A Second Chance Offer always receives a new item number and is shown in My eBay. To accept a genuine Second Chance Offer you must log in to My eBay and complete the purchase on the eBay website. If you can't find the offer in the Buying section of My eBay, it's not valid.

    Protect yourself from email scams and fraud

    Always complete your purchases on the eBay website - it's the safest way to trade with other eBay members. Always make sure that your User ID is listed as the winning bidder on the "Item ended" page before sending money for a purchase. Please report anyone who asks you to buy or sell outside eBay to Customer Support.

    If you've sent payment for an item but haven't received it, please let us know. You can contact us from any eBay Help page.

    For additional information about buying and selling safely on eBay, visit our Safety Centre by copying this link into a new browser window:

    As always, our goal is to keep eBay a safe and reputable place to buy and sell. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact us.
