Ebay Beware

I have been noticing an ever increase of fraudulant activity happening on Ebay.....Please make sure you dont purchase any expensive items of someone with no Feedback....I had 1 guy replying to an email I sent him abusing the hell out of him that if I purchase now I will give you a discount...lol...I dont think he read my email or can't read english.

Clearly a scam - never, ever pay for an item via wire transfer. If they are legit they will use PayPal, Escrow etc.

Yeah scum of the earth, like those that start internet viruses. They target the innocent. I could tell you what I could do to someone like that.
