I was browsing ebay as usual and noticed this scammer using pics from wherever he can find them. The main photo is the one that king mobile phones use for their k750i-w800i flashing service. It looks like he's using someone elses account as they have a huge rating. Have a look for yourselves, the bids are up to £3,600. Do you think I should report it?

I've just noticed hes selling loads of other phones too, check it out the bidding is huge! He's definitely gonna scam someone out of there cash. I think he needs to be reported.

Yeah, he usually sells top class outdoor products, such as rabbit hutches and umbrellas! I don't think hes just suddenly gonna start selling top of the range mobiles by the hundred! Very Strange!

Perhaps he has hacked into someone account and changed the details?

For a start those photographs he using have been used on ebay before and it looks like the scammer has taken over someone's account

Looks quite dodgy. There's no asking people to email a different email address, but that could just mean their email address has been taken over too. It happened to me once, I have my account hijacked and also my email address, the first and last time I replied to a 'phishing' email (this was just as this little scam was starting and people generally didn't know about this method).

Try clicking on 'ask seller a question, and stating 'your account's been taken over, contact Ebay!', if may well go to the proper account owner. Best report that one to Ebay too.

btw, how do you do that, I've never had to repot dodgy auctions yet!
