Ok, if you look at a few of the threads, i have on here about ebay fraud. if you didnt see it, here is the story from my other post:
Well, i was looking for another quad for some reason and i saw a 400ex with a 440 kit, Laegers a-arms and swingarm, Works shocks, dominator axle. it was red with a red frame, carbon hood and front/rear beadlocks with rear blue rings. anyway it had a buy-it now price of $3000. I have seen the quad many times for like $5500 on ebay. i thought it was a good price so i e-mailed the guy and told him i wanted it if i was within a reasonable driving distance. After i sent the e-mail, i saw it said FREE shipping. I almost hit the buy-it now but didnt. Anyway this morning i looked for it again and couldnt find it. so today i got an e-mail from the guy and this is exactly what it said.:
QUOTE My name is Stewart Wallace and i am glad you are
interested on my ATV.Well,i have to let you know the
ATV is in a perfect condition .The product will be
shipped from Vienna,Austria from here will support the
shipping taxes,insurance and handling via FedEX Air service and
you will receive the unit within 3 days tops.
The price we hope to obtain is 3000$ and if you agree
with this price we can start to complete the transaction.The payment
must be done using a bank deposit or money order.
The return policy is 30 days.If you agree with these
terms,let me know and i will be more than glad
to start to complete the transaction with you.
I am waiting your email,
Best Regards,

#### ### So i e-mailed this guy and told him that since it was soo cheap i would fly to his country and look at it and give him cash money and then fly back. since he offered free shipping he then could ship it to me. Well, he e-mailed me back today and said he would contact ebay and they could convince me that he was a real ebay member and ebay verified his information and ebay would guarentee this transaction. here is the e-mail i got from ebay.

After reading this last email you can tell that it is not from anyone at ebay. i think this guy made this up and somehow hacked into ebay's email or something. From what this is saying is that ebay highly reccomends this guy... YEAH RIGHT. i'am turning him into ebay and they can see this email. is there a 800 number or anything for ebay or is it all done online????
