Just found THIS Ebay auction - it may look fairly legit to start off with (except it's a suspiciously cheap price for an iPod Photo, which is what raised my suspicions), but look closer at it.

Pop Quiz: Who can tell me all the things that would ring alarm bells with you and point it out as quite possibly fraudulent?

That is very suspicious looking i agree...

A couple of things i noticed.

Based in China
No paypal

Edit: If you look at his other sales all have been some kind of rings?

People who left him feedback have low feedback themselves

No picture of an actual ipod.

I suspect this is false feedback - other accounts either he's made up or from those selling feedback. The one that sounds the most ominous is the first one he 'recieved' - which says 'I love this business'

And it's good old Western Union as his preferred payment...

@Melik -

Perhaps that's why they're so cheap!

lol if you look at all his feedback they are all from people who have bought bracelets etc. from him.

But then if you look at the feedback of the people who have left him feedback they are all bracelets too!

Looks likeh has got loads of accounts and has been pretending to sell thing between them to build up fedback

I wondered how long it would be before his sales were pulled!
