I had a play with one a few yrs back.
There was a motorcycle advertised on Ebay for sale.
VERY OBVIOUSLY a scam.
Late model bike for AU$5000 INCLUDING shipping from Italy.
I thought I'd play so I set up a seperate hotmail acc & sent emails.
I asked for the address of where the bike is.
I got all the answers under the sun. It's in Italy, Here's how you pay for it. yadda, yadda.
After about 5 consecutive emails asking for the address of the bike, the seller finally asked WHY???
I said that I have a friend living in Italy & I wanted him to visit & check out the bike for me.
Straight away I received an email from "the account owner" saying that a scammer had taken over her Email account AND her Ebay account. Amazingly, both at the same time.
Please disregard any emails of the last 24hrs.
Idiots !!!!!!!!
