Title: Series 1 Second Chance Scam!?
Post by: 57basstra on July 15, 2006, 01:16:28 PM
I just posted this info at the bottom of the thread on Tony's bass and thought I'd start a new thread. This second chance did not just come through my email, it also came through my ebay messages. Ebay needs to have a way that you can actually report these people as this stuff is happening. If they have such a means, I do not know about it. I have asked the seller for more details. He or She is in Canada....I'll probably stick to just bidding on baseball cards on ebay.....
 
Regarding my auction:  
1981 Alembic Series 1 Bass long scale w/ F2-B Preamp  
Item number: 180005362275  
 
I'm willing to speed the sale process, so please contact me A.S.A.P. via e-mail at: notravel247@cs.com (http://mailto:notravel247@cs.com) and I'll provide you with further details about this.  
 
Thank you,  
stupidee

But stay clear from baseball cards from Canada.  My worst eBay experience.

David,
spoof@ebay.com (mailto:spoof@ebay.com) is the place to report such issues.  
Go to the bottom of a page on eBay and you will see a link for SECURITY.    
Tell them what happened. Follow the instructions. Include the message sent to you etc.  They do act swiftly in relation to issues like that.  Recently I was sent a second chance for an orion guitar that was offered for sale, and sold for $2200.00.  The scammer offered it to me for $700.00
 
By the way Bill I don't think it wasn't just a pack of cards, it also included seasons tix for 4 people at home games at Jarry Park!

Hey, Rich..thanks for the info..sometimes my computer is slow to peel through the ebay layers and often locks at the end. I know it is costly, I suppose; but it would be nice to speak  directly with a human!
