Ebay Scam

[reeder]

THe link below is an example of a scam on eBay.  It appears that someone's account was hacked, pictures stolen from Showa22's Yasumitsu that just sold for ~$7000 and an email to end the listing early for a sweet deal of $2000.  I thought I would play the game so I emailed the "seller" and the response I got back was the typical jibberish you get from the scammers.  They wanted all of my personal information so they could contact the eBay team to make this a smooth, safe, and fast transaction.

 

I have reported the item as fraud.  The link is below.
