there was a set of Alpha wheels and tires on sale in Alabama a few days ago. The auction page said the seller had websites with Ebay in other countries and might speak a different language. pretty scary. Auction got pulled before it was completed for some reason by the seller.

Probably the REAL SELLER noticed that THEY were SELLING IT and cancelled it!!

If the message isn't on your Ebay account message board it isn't from Ebay.

I've gotten some sweet deals from Ebay in the past and I was convinced that this might be a great opportunity to good to pass. This scam was really slick, well written initially and articulate. What gave it away was the written follow up responses didn't have the same articulate characteristics. The suppossed communication from Ebay really had me going because of it's completeness. I became convinced it was bogus when name and address checks throughMelissa Data Lookupscame up empty. Also I did MSN maps to locate the address and there was no such street.

So I'll jump at any good deal...but only after due diligence.

I 've been on eBay since Jan-99 and I think I have seen all of the scams.... some are pretty damn good... I've spent anywhere from $.01 to the Bronco I bought off of there... you just have to be careful.

Popo got taken off of Ebay I think.... around Christmas
