Hello, I would like to warn you all off recent suspicious activity on EBAY. Scammers now list many high value audiophile equipment as 24h auctions, please see below the features of such auction:
- 24h auction
- silly starting price
- very valuable item
- no item description
- request to contact on email address given in the auction description (not via ebay)
- poor photos, or even just one photo provided
- after contact request to pay via MoneyGram or WesterUnion
I keep reporting it to Ebay, but such auctions are listed every day literary. The scammers hack to someone's Ebay account and list the item. Simple, but probably they are making some money on it. One night Ebay had removed over 30 auctions after I reported it to them. It seems to be ongoing now, for about 2 weeks.
They list 5.1 B&W Nautilus speaker system on daily basis, I have seen Krell amps, monoblocks, Nikon and Canon digital SLRs ( top range) + best lenses ever.
One of the email addresses they use: devensonerik@hotmail.com, the other one is ERIK...something.
Hope it will save you some stress/money lads.
