Sl-6000 Ebay Auction Scam Alert

[speculatrix]

There are two identical auctions for SL-6000s on ebay.co.uk, but clearly scams:
1) different sellers, identical auctions
2) the same "contact me at xxx@yahoo.com" message on each
3) seller listed in USA, item location UK
4) very very short listing duration - 24 hours (the fraudster hopes the sellers won't notice)

I've emailed ebay (spoof@ebay.co.uk & scam@ebay.co.uk) to tell them of the con.

This is very common with high value items like zaurus and high-spec digital cameras.

NEVER EVER pay with a non-refundable method - use paypal and/or ensure there's buyer protection.

Both are already removed by ebay

if you email those two addresses - which aren't published widely (shh! don't tell anyone), they generally take action very quickly.

I saw two more auctions this morning meeting the same description:

http://cgi.ebay.com/Sharp-Zaurus-SL-6000L-...1QQcmdZViewItem
and
http://cgi.ebay.com/Sharp-Zaurus-SL-6000L-...1QQcmdZViewItem

I reported them as well.

Thanks,

David
