One scam I have noticed on eBay is Plasma TV's and LCD monitors. Apparently people are hacking eBay accounts and posting auctions with those items. Be careful when bidding on those high dollar items!
I emailed one guy with a Plasma TV. His English was so terrible that I figured something was wrong.
"Hy Charles
I prefer to end the deal in the next few days and i
hope you will agre ewith me that this kind of deals must be ended as soon a spossible .That is why i prefer to shipp the item by UPS or FedEx as you wish.Shipping charges will be payed by my and also the ensurance for the shippment.
The payement will be made before shippment and the founds will be transfered by Westernunion as they are the fastest in the world in transfering the founds.The shippment will be made immediatly
