Attempted Fraud on T206 Lot
 

Posted By: <b>Ted</b><p>I made one bid on this auction:<br /><br /><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=5174207838&ssPage Name=STRK:MEWA:IT" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=5174207838&ssPage Name=STRK:MEWA:IT</a><br /><br />Not sure if the link will work, but if not do a search on auction 5174207838.<br /><br />While I know that it was a low grade lot, it was a way to handle a bunch of T206 cards, and if I sold them off slowly, maybe get my money back. The learning experience would be worth it. <br /><br />I was immediately outbid, and so I forgot about it. The next day I got a second chance offer from ebay saying the reserve was not reached but I was being offered the lot for my high bid. I thought long and hard about it, and was about to go for it when I noticed a couple of odd things. The sellers name had changed, and also his email.<br /><br />It turns out the second chance offer was a spoof. After reporting it to ebay, they told me a day later not to send any money as it could be a problem but nothing more. Thanks ebay.<br /><br />Anyway, be especially careful with the second chance offers as there is phishing going on everywhere these days.<br><br>Ted<br />He who so shall, so shall he who!

Posted By: <b>Rob, the Newbie</b><p>Yeah, I avoid/delete EVERY second chance offer that comes my way. <br />It's either a spoof, or the seller is really desperate to unload the item.<br />Either way, it's a bad sign.
