Default Is this a SCAM or what !!!!

If y'all keep an eye out on Ebay, the auction title below pops up about once every two weeks by a different seller every time. I have emailed a few of these scammers and voiced my opinion. It's funny because after I email them, the auctions always disappear. Somebody needs to stop these D1CKS!

Most credit card companies will only clear your bill for a stolen card.....if you give someone your card number, you are out of luck in the credit card companies eyes.

Remember - just because these guys say they are in Germany doesn't mean they are. With the right information you can get money from Western Union anywhere in the world.

I sent an email to Western Union informing them about these scams. I'm still waiting for a reply to see if they care about it or not.

Also, that Raptor80 on eBay - why would the bidder's names and bids be blocked out??? Because those are not real bidders - they are probably the scammers using other names to make it look like a real auction with activity going on.

Does anyone have any header information from an email they got from one of the scammers using Western Union? I got a reply back from Western Union and they need this information to investigate the natter further.

Thanks

Thats horrible, you can obviously tell where it says "You," is already made up and all they have to do is put your name in it, otherwise it wouldnt make sense.
