Hello Ebay members,

I am informing you of a transaction that had taken place within one of my auctions a while back.

I had a guitar for sale and it was a  BIN $1500.00 US dollars which was quite expensive for most folks, even me.

Well the auction had been running for a day or two then i had received an e-mail from a supposed Ebay member

from outside the United States.

They stated they were in a hurry to purchase my item and if i could please take a check sent to my address in the

amount of $4500.00. After accepting, which i did not, they stated i could deposit the amount i needed for the

auction and any extra charges i needed to ship. Well they wanted me to Ship this item after monies cleared, and to

forward the remaining amount to a location in Africa. I knew something was wrong so i declined, by not

answering, then quickly placed both User IDs  in my Block Bidder List, then reported to Ebay with all email

Headers and any pertinent information.  I hope this helps All Ebay Members be Informed of this type Scam.

This is a form of Money Laundering.

Thank You,
