It's not even an EBay site - It belongs to free hosting on http://www.zymic.com/

Scam doesn't even come half way to describing that fake site, fake sale, fake details....

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Tip 1 - Give up drinking!!! There's several giveaways - apart from the web address - seeing as its over £1k why is it asking for bids of £530 or more. Thats such a poor fake!!

If you look on ebay you find the original item number is 250563910840
Then it quickly changes over to the other site and item number, perhaps with some clever redirect, if you stop before the redirect you get feedback results etc.

The other stuff is all like this item 250563867132

All located in Hong Kong.

Perhaps someone hacked an ebay account?

Why do I have to make the tools to finish the job? More time then money.

Why stop there? Put them all in a field together, and we could all take turns in punching them on the nose, they'd be a not-pretty site by the time we'd all finished with them

In fact, why don't we get all the dullards that write these damn viruses and they can have some too

Agreed, very clever (in a devious sort of way) - Would easily catch many people out.

But would catch more if it was a more realistic price, say just a couple of £k true value ?
