Gosh, the guy must really learn how to have some patience... Received last night: And this morning: Can't a man go on a business trip for a few days? :D

He's getting impatient... I'll give it another week or so before I commence with the next step :16:

He's from Italy though :D I'll leave it for a week now, just to see how long his patience lasts...

Hot off the press... the scammer baits :D

Okes, here we go... email away again :D

:wacko: You've been there, done that and bought the T-shirt? :( I like it though... commencing phase I tomorrow; the banks are closed now anyway :wacko:

Good luck... all those days without a computer... that must be like living in the 70's :wacko:

He still doesn't get it... Any ideas on my next reply?

Can anyone see my car parked? It's blue... allegedly :wacko: http://maps.google.it/maps?f=q&hl=it&q=201...005241&t=k&om=1

Sinker! Got an email from 'eBay member: AutoQuake' (yes, not only steal their auction details, but he is now also impersonating them) with the request to walk into a Western Union office and send

Line...? Ofcourse I have to reply... Hope he isn't offended by the overuse of exclamation marks :angry:

Just received the following from eBay: Not sure what that means as the auction is still going... BTW, If you look at the item revision and comments you can see that the vehicle was changed from a Sierra to a Galaxy on the 20th... That must have been when the unsuspecting seller got his account hacked.

Good spot MM (I may call you MM now, can I? :angry:) I don't think I can send a message to the highest bidder, so here's hoping eBay picks up my email before the auction closes edit: Actually, I was able to send a message to the highest bidder. Fingers crossed he doesn't get duped...

Because the unsuspecting victim of the account hijack probably originates from there. I can't wait till I get my Galaxy shipped from Milan though... you reckon it is more fashionable than one from Dagenham? :blink:

Right, auction reported... But as I'm a bit bored... let's reply :blink: Hook...

Pfew! I'm glad I didn't take any bets :D Just received the below reply: Is that fish I smell? :blink: Am going to report the auction to eBay now, if they care to listen...

When asked what he wanted to become when he grows up he answered "The Michelin Tyres Guy" Q PS. How anyone as a parent can you allow your child to become this far is beyond me... They should be ashamed of themselves.

It's only been 10 minutes :blink: If I were to place any bets, it would be on that he doesn't reply at all...

Definately a scam. Account has most likely been hijacked and therefore they need to use an external email address. Also, 3 day listing, which means that you barely have enough time to view the car before you bid. Just to see how far they are prepared to take it I emailed him: Ofcourse I'm nowhere near Brighton, but he doesn't know that ;)
