Interesting eBay listing

Postby up148 » Wed Aug 02, 2017 10:44 am

Looks more like someone trolling for personal info rather than something (even boxes) for sale. Very hard to determine what exactly is being sold. Free shipping included from Taiwan or ???. :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:

Almost certainly a scam.

Apparently there's been a plague of these listings; there was a thread over on OGR about it and it's been yanked, too, :lol:

I reported it, but not sure if my reporting had it pulled or several people reporting.

Now that I think about it, it's the same picture listed for Jim Seacrest items by the auction house. :o :o :o

That was noted in the ORG thread - using photos from other listings, etc.

Glad everyone was on top of this. I don't frequent the OGR much any more, but do enjoy reading Sethians post as well as some others who are accomplishing things.
