JS Scam on Evilbay?


Okay, I know we're not supposed to post live auctions, but I saw this and it completely looks like a scam, so in case anyone didn't realize it or know better:

#200185544669

The listing is classic internet translated Japanese (if you've ever looked at the English version of the listings on Ishibashi you know what I mean), and was likely pulled directly from a Japanese website. Okay, so what, maybe the guy isn't from the US originally.

Also, the user hasn't been on **** in over a year and is just selling this 1 item, which he has never done. Okay, still not necessarily a scam, I guess.

Well, if you look at the feedback he left for others, he uses pretty good English (although his use of grammar tools such as puncation and capital letters is lacking), a far cry from what is in the listing.

Again, sorry if I'm brealking a rule by mentioning a live listing - I know I can't say "hey, buy my evilbay item #XXXXXXXXXXX", but I hope this falls into a different category.

This is one of the cool things I like about Jemsite, we try to watch out for each other when we can.

Thanks for the heads up and whether it is a scam or not, you have made an effort to let people know that you "smell" something fishy.
