Ebay full of dodgy listings.
Discussion
Load more on today... reported a fair few yesterday (couple of Volvo Amazons and a handful of Ford Capris) and to be fair, eBay did remove 'em sharpish.
I note with amusement that the scammers are now using original wording from ads with "please read carefully, selling on behalf of a friend..." blurb added underneath the main body of text. It appears to be their idea of 'sophistication'!
I suppose some idiots must fall for the scams or they wouldn't bother posting the ads (using hacked accounts or otherwise), but are people really stupid enough to fall for such blatant nonsense?

My eBay account was once hacked and I was apparently selling Harley Davidson's at £12,000 a pop.
Had a very dodgy looking email purporting to be from eBay telling me that my account had suspicious activity and was being suspended pending investigation. Attempted to log on and found that this was actually indeed the case. Matter was resolved in a few hours.
