Another Ebay Scam - this time it's a Grizzly
Watch out for this one.
Ebay Scam - Grizzly
Here's how it works...
1) The scamming seller puts an auction on e-bay with no official "Buy it now" price, but in the body of the text, list a very low "Buy it Now". The scamming seller also will not allow you to bid without being approved first, encouraging you to e-mail them to get on the Approved Bidders List.
2) They then try to get you to take the low "Buy it Now" offer, telling you to send some personal information, and E-bay will take care of the rest.
3) If you accept, and e-mail the information, the next thing you know you will get an e-mail that appears to be from E-bay. This e-mail will ask you to either wire money to an account, or send it via Western Union to some individual. This e-mail, and the site it points to are not E-Bay or from E-bay.
4) You send or wire the money, but never see the ATV. The scamming seller is long gone.
E-bay is a powerful tool. Too bad it's seems to attract so many low life scam artist.
