garetheves Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 Can everyone else take a look at this, think its a con. All his other sold items are dvds and clothing and all of a sudden he pops up with a 93 TT 6sp for 3500. Dont think so http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=4508961550&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 Yeah it got the classic "listing is restricted to pre-approved bidders or buyers only" those are usually a con. Plus that reg number belongs to a member of this site. (or did) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 I got the account owner's email address from one of his previous eBay listings and let him know his account has been hijacked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SatSport Posted December 2, 2004 Share Posted December 2, 2004 Just got this email from the t*at............ Hi, I am glad to hear that you are interested about my car.The car is in perfect conditions without any scratches,damages or other mechanical problems.Car has no finance outstanding and it is HPI clear with certificate.Now the car is here with me in GREECE.About the shipping taxes you don't have to worry because i will pay for it.I work in army and i have a voucher to ship free with Lufthansa Airplane Cargo.The buyer will receive the TITLE,with V5 document,keys and owner's manual.I bought this car from UK so it has UK emissions and is still registered there.I want to sell my car there because here in GREECE 99% of the cars have steering wheel on left side and is very difficult to drive this car here.I can`t find a buyer in GREECE so i want to sell it in UK .I took care of it like it was my own baby and now is in the same condition as it was when I bought it - even better! I hope you understand this situation.I want to take this opportunity to assure you that this deal is 100% legitimate.This deal will happen through EBAY. So if you really want it please give me an email as soon as possible. Regards! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbourner Posted December 2, 2004 Share Posted December 2, 2004 Apparently my Ebay account's been suspended for something or other (heard this whilst trying to log in not from an email). They said they emailed me and they might have done but I probably deleted it cos I've never done anything wrong on ebay, just thought it was a phishing mail. D'OH!!
