So What's the Scam on these Ebay Listings?

[jesse]

I haven't heard from the guy. Maybe I scared him somehow.

I'll write another e-mail later/tomorrow to try to get the ball rolling again.

I dunno, some of the scambaits on thescambaiter.com seem a bit like they are scams themselves. For example:

This one, a Nigerian wants to sell clothes, so the person talks him into giving him a bunch of free samples and then refuses the money and stuff. I see nothing to indicate that the Nigerian was scamming to begin with. I must be missing something.

Ebay listing is gone

The listing for the Citation is gone from e-bay. They DO act on reports. This guy was pretty blatent in his violation of e-bay policy by requesting direct contact, buy-it-now without a Buy It Now button, and the whole page e-mail link.

Anyone know how to get a registration listing of Canadian aircraft similar to the FAA listing?

they have closed the main runway during daytime because of the wires.

I guess that was kind of my point. Why put the wires up to get power to the airport if it's gonna close the airport?

The ebay listing says $150k but your scam.pdf shows $150M ... did the price just go up .... considerably?

Nahh, in the world of finance, one M is thousands and two MMs means millions.....
