cheers chap, I am well and truly pissed off now, thought the week was going bad enough without that sort of shat happening, they are the people I would love to get my mitts on and do some serious frustration and anger management on, I hope no-ones been as silly and e-mailed the wanker and settled on a price, if the fuckers are nigerian scammers I can't see why the government can't show the terrorists what they will do if they were to use a dirty bomb and nuke the fuckin place and get the pains in the arses wiped out and for a country that can't afford food, they have a lot of fuckin computers

if they can put an email in YOUR add, its a fair bet that they have your ebay details, and if they have, they may also have your paypal details :eek: i had this happen to me a few years back, had all sorts of people asking me for money, had to cancel my ebay account in the end, so take a close look at your papal details, and change all ya passwords, AS SOON AS POSS !

I emailed them telling them of a fraudulant ebay item, this was the email I sent .... hope it works.
Keith the original seller of this item has contacted me , as he is in hospital, to ask me to notify you he has been a victim of a email scammer , he can no longer acess his account and that the scammer has added a buy it now email to the item, he cannot do much to stop it other than ask his frineds to contact you for help to resolve this problem.
Thank you shaggy

right i just bid it up to 1,500 but its still low , if any of you fancy bidding it up dont go above 1,499 .... By bidding it up , it will put off any potential buy it now merchants until ebay remove the listing , so please bid someone.

But thats why I put a reasonable amount if not a bit dear because you want to pu off potential emailers, if i put 4.5 mil then maybe someone will want to make him a serious offer. :mad:

Wouldn't have one anyway - too much shiny stuff. :cool:
*Edit* Here ya go - tell me this is a real bike for that money... Custom Fatboy for 2 grand HERE (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2000-Harley-Davidson-Softail-BADDEST-FATBOY-EVER-MINT_W0QQitemZ190083421850QQihZ009QQcategoryZ9805Q QrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem)

You've got nothing for sale now so looks like ebay have pulled it. :)
kitkatman
16-02-2007, 08:27 AM
yep, they pulled the sale this morning, thank fuck....
it was quite shocking that some tosser did that or that I fell for something like that and I hope nobody except pyro e-mailed him ( that's could be a yarn for another day), pissed me off as we were going to use that money for part of the solicitors bill, so I now need to re-activate my account and start again.............nevermind, these things are sent to try us

16-02-2007, 09:29 AM
I emailed him, and also went through the google mail site trying to find a way to report misuse of an email address to have the account closed, but no joy, typical, they post all the rules about use of accounts etc but no way to report flouting of the rules
