p.1 #1 · Ebay Scam


I am wondering if others have noticed this guy on Ebay. In each of his adds you find the following." Please mail me at [email protected] if you want to purchase it for 2000usd

You can have this camera for 2000usd only if you will be able to pay in 24 hours

Free shipping" His last add has him in England and before that I have seen his adds from at least 8 different states! Am I missing something or can't Ebay do anything about someone like this
I should mention he is selling a D2x!!!

If you send an email to "[email protected]" they will investigate , and remove the listing if deemed fraudulent. Makes you feel good for about 30 seconds until the seller hacks someone else's account and does the same thing over again.

People should realize immediately that it is a scam. There is always a risk involved when purchasing used equipments over internet. Nobody is ready to sell a D2X at 2000 USD (it just sounds too good to be true). I do not understand why anybody would need to receive the payment within 24 hours.
