Some of you may be aware of Blue Supra being scammed recently. I nearly got done myself. I bid for a PRS guitar and was outbid. A week later I recieved an email offering me the guitar at the last bid I sent because the original winner couldnt pay. The seller told me that he would sent the guitat via TNT who when they recieved it would notify me to pay via Western Union. When this was done I could inspect the guitar at the TNT depot and if I was happy with it take it and allow TNT to forward the money to the seller. Sounds pretty safe eh? Except that the b/s cart note from TNT I recieved via email had an emai address for the Western Union details to be sent to that was not TNT. So if I sent the payment details to it it would have no doubt gone to the alleged seller who could collect the money anonymously and I would have been seriously owned. I contacted the original seller through Ebay and they confirmed the scam.
Two rules for Ebay.
1. Do NOT EVER use Western Union. Once you have given the deposit number and your name to the reciever they can pick up the money and leave little trace.
2. Always deal through the Ebay system.
