Bookmark topic
There's the old saying that goes something like "who the fool? The fool or the fool who follows him?"
It looks like Ebay pulled the listing, they probably realised is was scammers, the owner of that account's going to wake up to a bit of a shock though when he finds his account suspended!
The listing had all the hallmarks of a scam - payment only by Western Union or Moneygram, overnight international courier delivery for 90 pence (!), and a listing asking for payment in US Dollars from a UK-based account that had previously only sold old coins! I wonder though what was going through the mind of the person who actually bidded on the auction?

@stan:
That link you posted is for one of those so-called 'Matrix' websites - from what I can gather, you go to this site, pay £20, and you can get the latest (and, it appears, unreleased!
) handsets for that price after a wait of a few months. Sounds like a scam, and unfortunately Ebay's full of this kind of rubbish!
