Ebay scam?

[kaplang]

It's a scam. Sends what looks like an eBay invoice and wants payment using Money Gram

Glad to hear it.

Nothing in theemporium22 sales feedback history suggests they had ever dealt with high end audio. The biggest red flag of all is the warning not to place any bids and to email the seller to make a deal outside of eBay.

Had scam written all over the 1,2xx listings and the account had obviously been hacked.

Reported around 20 of these to FleeBay this afternoon. This pops up time from time.

It would be interesting to see what Natural Sound says about their business name being used in a scam!!!

What is really interesting is that the real 'stevehd' seems to be continuing to list the usual sort of items he sells without noticing his account has been hijacked.

Scam scam scam

When you click on the button to message the seller, you are taken to an off-eBay page, for communication about the purchase.

So, after you send the moneygram, you won't get the widget, and you have no protection, after the sale.

Yes, those Sony SS-M9 ed's are back up again. Funny thing is, they use the same serial number each time. Lol

Would it be appropriate to contact him and let him know?
I don't know how to contact ebay and get the scammer shut down but I could contact the real account owner by ask a question link.

I notice this time the items are "only" $1000 USD. Last time it was $1500.

I think the entire account is hacked (messaging and all). I had the sellers both email me back on the last ones
