This comes round from time to time, so if youve been around youll be well aware.

Usually the seller has been hacked and their account is being used for the purposes of the scam, hence the dont pay with paypal comment..

Ive reported it, so it shouldnt stay around long if eBay is on the ball. Theyve already removed a listing today for two(!) Artiste 6s with similar directions.

If the listing has gone and you still wish to see the details pm me & Ill post up the screen shots I took.

The "something" at dr(dot)com email address is another big hint. Fake email all the way and the associated link at that email address redirects to tinypic(dot)com. Well, at least they are giving you all the hints and pokes possible in letting you know that it's a scam... lol

Good call, and awesome that you caught this and reported them!

There could always be people who fall for it, despite it saying the item is located in the UK and at the same time it is being shipped from Spain... yeah right...

Yep, stops people wanting offering to pick it up and pay cash.
They use a variant on Gumtree; advertise in the London area, and say its in the Outer Hebrides but theyll deliver it... after you transfer the money. .. if youre not happy when you see it, well refund your money.. Well, you cant say fairer than that...?

Ill bet theyll settle for a deposit, too.

.. but thanks Jerry, :tup:
