It's still rubbish m8, they (o2) blocked the scam a while ago if I remember.

I might even have the instructions myself...All the information is free on Google! Laughing

E BOOKS

this sounds like a scam found while looking at ebay for x box games think it is the free goods sample one if not where do they get the ebooks from

The Ebooks alone are a goldmine of information and money making opportunites, they can of course also be resold on ebay for vast profit

BEFORE YOU RUN AWAY THINKING THIS IS JUST A SCAM, TAKE A LOOK

AT THE EVIDENCE FIRST! THERE IS SOME WORK INVOLVED, NOTHING IN LIFE COMES WITHOUT IT BUT IF YOU FOLLOW THE INTRUCTIONS AND INVEST A SMALL AMOUNT OF TIME YOU WONT BE DISSAPOINTED.

AND CHECKOUT MY FEEDBACK, ITS ALL POSITIVE AND MOSTLY RELATING TO THIS PRODUCT! I WOULD NOT RISK THIS FOR LESS THAN 8 pounds!

HOW TO GET ANY PRODUCT YOU WANT FOR FREE AND SELL IT ON EBAY©

ALSO INCLUDES

HOW TO GET FREE COMPUTER GAMES

PC - PS2 - XBOX - GAMECUBE - ETC


TOTALLY LEGAL! VERY EASY! TOTALLY SAFE!

+++ PLUS 150 EBOOKS +++

ebay scams

me and around 100 other ebay members have also been scammed, i posted it here http://www.disqworld.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=168902 did not see this thread which is where i should have posted.
We are all very p***ed off as its been 3 weeks now since we all realised that we was not getting our items after lots of phone calls with the scammers that re-asured us we would be getting our stuff but after a month we knew something was seriously not right.
But the police have not done one thing yet like i said its been 3 weeks now the policeman who is in charge of the investigaton went on leave 3 days after we reported it, ebay took almost 1 week to kick them off the system and 2 more members got scammed!!! tranding standards dont do anything what so ever they leave it too the police to sort out but when they get round too it he will be in mexico or somewhere spending our hard earnt money!!! it stinks!!! ebay seriously need to sort their system out this person was ment to be a trusted power seller but in the end was a very good scammer which looks like a new way of them doing this kind of thing ebay everyone be warned!!!!!

I've just bought a bluetooth hands free head set from ebay for a fiver and like a fool forgot to check out the shipping price first.

Guess what? The shipping is £18.98.

And the really great bit is that the company is called best value zone (sic!)

I think I'm a gonna add to their already long list of bad refs!

You live, you learn!!!

Regards

Graeme

It gets shipped from Hong Kong.

Even so £18.98 is still excessive and they're well out of order to not notify potential buyers.

This is a scam whatever way you look at it!

Still it's ofset by the bargains to be had in this forum!

Regards

Graeme

you don't pay sellers fees on postage on ebay so seller pays ebay less but gets same price

heres another one - my g/f and a few of her m8's who sell on ebay keep getting mails from bidders offering to pay a substatial amout more for their items than they are worth, saying they will pay by 'bidpay' or 'nochex', but they must post the item first, usually to nigera, bidder always says they need it for a gift and need it urgently, --- this is a scam--- if you buy or sell on ebay, be careful, everybody gets targeted by scammers at some point, my g/f gets emails weekly from scammers, report anything unusuall, and do not click on links in emails unless you know they are genuine.

Ebay Are Arseoles

i have Been a seller with with ebay for 3 years then all of a sudden they suspended my account without reason.All i recieved from them was i had broken thair terms of usage,They won,t even tell me what i had done. They wanted to know where i had brought my items from i had listed and wanted reciepts and proof of ownership.Pity they don,t come down on the scammers selling fakes and crap and peaple who bid on auctions with no intension of paying.

ebay

You should be ok if you have tracking info. If you didnt, they can take the money out of your account and give it back to the buyer. Ebay is a great place to buy from but ihave also had several bad experiences and now i feel like it is more hassel than its worth.
