Scam?

[Huw]

This is on eBay twice with two different sellers. In UK Italy (??) and one picture only. Looked at the other items from this seller and they all have same format and different user names. No response to requests for pictures and a proper description.

So scam? Seems that way.

Look at this on eBay
DATSUN Z 1980 CLASSIC 280 ZX TARGA TOP

See this quite a bit. Someone's account gets hacked and then they are selling loads of stuff.

Use the 'Report Item' link on the right hand side of page and let eBay sort it out.

There’s an absolute plague of it on eBay right now. Several of the Zs and a Datsun Cherry listed are there two or three times due to scammers.

The bronzy looking car has even got bids on one of the scam listings...!!

There are few on there at the moment it's so disappointing to see.
I see fake spray guns on ebay all the time and as sponsored ads, I used to report them but nothing got removed so I don't bother anymore.

As they say if it is too good to be true it generally is.

 

[Huw]

Reported both ads and they have now gone.

 

[moggy240]

That's good but the scammers put about 1500 ads on at time and makes it difficult to stop them before it's too late.

I must have reported this person a dozen times, but more often than not eBay only remove the ad I report rather than all of them that are clearly scam ads.

The second photo is the give away, and it’s written the same each time.

That second one is a real ad.

 

[Dale]

Same car though, so they must have taken it from an old ad as there are some small differences between the two.

 

[AD240Z]

That second one is a real ad.

Yes - which is more annoying for the real seller . The two bogus auctions this car was in a few days ago were taken down and it’s back on again

Really excelled themselves this time . I might just send them my passwords and mothers maiden name .........

 

[Huw]

Fantastic. They so clever these days, almost undetectable .

I can't believe that people are that stupid to fall for it but they do. I think they have done it this way for a reason to get people to email them, makes sense to me.
