tjsmudger 2 Posted February 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 Thing is, there are plenty of people who are gullible enough to do just that, this will no doubt in turn lead to bank details being given. Link to post Share on other sites

hvr6 88 Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 interesting he has been on here a while so might be genuine obviously goes without saying that people shouldn't give out their personal info! Link to post Share on other sites
Alex22 0 Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 i got the message and replyed, basically he posted something on ebay messed up the price and wanted someone to bit for the "reserve" price he forgot to set, if you won then he wouldn't make you pay, just didn't want to let something go for a stupid cheap price Link to post Share on other sites
craggsy 91 Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 Yep he has told me that he didnt know how to end a listing on ebay so wanted someone to bid and win but not buy as he didnt want bad feedback.Nothing to worry about, the I did say it looked a bit suspect Link to post Share on other sites
legvw 0 Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 I replied to his email, bidded an won, but nothing came of it, no money exchanged and no hassles as it was all closed using ebay.I did think it was dodgy yes, but just wanted to help him out.Like i said, no money was exchanged. It more of an ebay scam 'bidding things up' rather then a 'steal your money' scam. Link to post Share on other sites
CALICO 130 Posted February 3, 2011 Report Share Posted February 3, 2011 Shill bidding lots of people do it but sounds like he does it a bit to much with people he does not know Link to post Share on other sites
