Another Ebay scam warning

The above link is to an E-bay scam artist who is fishing for information like credit card numbers or payment on a supercharger that does not exist. He has a good story and will tell you he works for a repo company. Then he will direct you to the web site repotemple.com to validate his claims. He says the supercharger is off a repo car and he wanted to sell it stock to avoid trouble with buyers of the car. It is all a scam and if sounds to good to be true it probably is.

I WILL ONLY TAKE CHECK CASH BANK TO BANK OR LOCAL PICK UP PAYPAL ACCOUNT AS WELL AS MY OLD EBAY ACCOUNT WAS COMPROMISED AND IM TRYING TO RESTORE

Yeah, that's a little scary. Overall the comments sound scammy. Is that a word? Scammy? :biggrin:

chiefcurtiss, how do you know this is a scam?

What is this site? How do repo companies have the ability to sell or even retain cars they repo? The repo guys are working for the bank and the car belongs to the bank.

That whole website is pretty sketchy.

Yes I saw this too , are there any members in his area who can go there to see the item in person?

I just saw that OP left neg feedback for him , making his feedback rating "-1" ! I didn't even know you could get a negative-negative rating!
OP - how did you leave this feedback? did you win the auction ? then he re-listed it?
anyone try reporting him to ebay?
