Ebay fraud going on right now

Dont know where to post this so I will put it in the tech forum.
Heres the fraud auction #
4605682160


Here was an earlier auction. Which looks to be real.

If you cant see it in person or have someone check it out for you, dont buy it.

I just looked at the Harley Davidson page on eBay and 11 of the first 12 listings were all phony listings with buy it now prices at least 10k below the value of the bikes, some even listed with buy it now prices less then a dollar. They have serious issues over there are ebay for the moment.

The same MO went on last year with Bobcat skidsteers.
I think it ended up a scam where the equipment was in Europe.(allegedly)
A knockoff of a Nigerian scam.

Same thing almost happened to me on a tractor. We need to be careful out in cyberspace. If a deal seems too good to be true, it probably is!

bfrenz, what makes you think the auction you showed, 4599892146, was a fraud? 16K for a 1974 converted 911 to 993 looks is actually right +- a few thousand dollars. Just curious, I would always have flown out to inspect before paying for it, but what about this auction says fraud to you?

#4605682160 seems to be gone now. I guess it was pulled.

Ahh, the fraud is gone already, so I couldn't see it.

You didn't say that it was copied, just that it looks real, so I didn't know what I was looking at, but I understand now... I do agree with you, it's good to post these things.

Here is one I reported the day after it was listed, but ebay refused to pull it. I had an amusing exchange with the "seller"
