Default These scams are ridiculous

I sold a P400 - 2stroke on ebay and was happy with the sell price. 5 minutes after my aution closed the entire description and photo lay out was copied and put out there on another ad. This happened 5 times in 7 days and each time we contacted ebay and they removed the false ads. Later, after sending a nasty but nice e-mail to ebay they identified that there are people who are stealing users passwords and they explained how it was happening.

READ THIS:::::Text You are a registered Ebay seller and you receive a e-mail from Ebay saying they need your user name and password to verify several security issues on your account ( the screen they send this to you on has the Ebay logo and all of the trimmings). If you provide this info., they( the pirates ) will later( 3 days - 3 weeks later ) come back and use your I.D. and list a bogus sale, setting up the Buy it Now price to a very low price and requiring a $500 or $1,000 deposit to hold your purchase. Buyer sends money to a P.O. box somewhere in the U.S. and you never see your money again.

Watch out for this email process SCAM.....

The one in AZ is the scam. The first guy has plenty of details about the quad itself, while the second guy/scammer just lists things like never been in mud. Nice quad though!
