I wouldnt anyway doesnt have a split bowl. Why is this a scam???

[blown428fe]

Yeah, why is it a scam?

[sanger rat]

Boat is listed in sewing machines. Seller hasn't listed anything in over 12 months. Seller is in UK. Boat is in Ridgeland, MS. One day auction. And User ID kept private. If you want to send your money over seas go right ahead.

[blown428fe]

No shit, damn you guys are good.

Boat has Conn (CT) #'s, add says it's in MS and, cars in photo's don't have MS Plates ... No front plates which Mississippi has ... Too many things don't fit.
looks like it may be CF.....that may explain the license plates in the front

Did you read the feed backs??? several of them said there was a prob with pay pal...I almost want to bid on it, then claim the same thing. it cracks me up that its in euros, it would have been alot ezer to reel some one in if it had been dallors. Also the "Secret bidder" deal, i have never seen a auction on ebay that was 100% legit that had a secret bidder.

Looks like it's in a used car lot, sales sticker in the windshields. It may be a repo?

[YeLLowBoaT]

The number is a CF... I was not sure until I saw the white with blue letter on the plate. Also the green sticker.

These schemers always ask for you to email them direct. They will try to get you to do the deal outside of ebay. Most of the time they are using a hijacked ebay user name.
There has also been a wake board-ski boat that has been appearing under v-drive and jet boat searches that is a scam. I seen it listed two times on Saturday under two different seller names but asking you to email them direct at the same address. They were using hijacked seller names.
Any time you suspect an ebay auction to be fraudulent scroll down to the bottom of the auction and click on report this item and follow the steps and they will investigate it.
Watch out for fake second chance offers emails and other spoof emails. If you get an email from ebay it will also appear in your my messages section at your my ebay page. If it does not appear there it is fake and you should forward the email to: spoof@ebay.com
Happy Ebay ing!!

A 21' jet with a Ford and a single axle trailer? Forget the problems of getting the boat, I think the real problems would begin once it got to your door :rolleyes:

Olbeizer just lives right down the road from Ridgeland, maybe he can check it out. Been a few years since I lived there but they didn't have front plates then.

There are legit auctions that kep bidders private. They stop scammers from getting the bidders list and offering fake second chance offers. But scammers will run an auction and keep the bidders private so no one can see who is biding and warn them that it is a BS auction.
