    Seems like a closing down sale of some sort. Too good to be true?

    ######Scam Alert#############

    Its a scam, probably using a hacked account, all feedback is through little jewellery trinkets worth under €5. This happens everyday of the week.

    Avoid, I would ask a mod please delete this thread.

    And for under 9 dollars???? Come on.....

    9 euro. If you buy from a hacked ebay account you're still safe via PayPall yes?

    If it looks too good to be true it usually is.

    I know its too good to be true. Just if someone did buy can the scammers get away with it that easily?

    Generally speaking what would happen here 9/10 :

    1. Ebay account with really good feedback from ow value items is hacked or phished.

    2. Scammer then posts up some interesting items, usually tablets, hard drives or laptops etc. All at ridiculous prices! maybe 1/10th of RRP. Although in this instance 9 euro with free delivery from China is actually taking the piss! (If your going to be a dick and scam someone maybe a higher price would make sense?! )

    3. They then post via registered post with a picture or wristband (in the other thread Win8 tablet for under €30 :) ) contained in the package, this is done to fool Paypal when a dispute is opened to make the scammer look like hes in the right.

    Dont say I didnt warn you! Whether its 9 euro or 40 euro, a fool and his money is parted easily! The golden rule with stuff like this, if its too good to be true....you know the rest! :D
