SO YOU BID ON AN ITEM, YOU LOST THE BID BY A FEW DOLLARS. NOW YOU GET AN E-MAIL FROM THE SELLER. HE/SHE SAYS YOU CAN BUY THE ITEM FOR THE PRICE YOU BID UP TO.

GREAT, BUT THE SCUM OF THE EARTH HAVE SPOILE THIS AND WILL TRY AND GET YOUR DETAILS AND MONEY.

MANY SECOND CHANCE OFFERS ARE GENUINE. FOR EXAMPLE YOU ARE BIDDING ON A MICROWAVE OVEN, YOU BID $120. THE WINNER BIDS $140 OR EVEN MORE. THE SELLER MAY HAVE MANY MORE IN STOCK AND IS HAPPY TO SELL TO ANYONE THAT BID OVER HIS BREAK EVEN PRICE OF $100.

HE/SHE WILL SEND YOU A SECOND CHANCE OFFER. GREAT YOU GET TO BUY THE ITEM AT A LOWER COST THAN THE WINNING BIDDER. YOU ARE HAPPY AND SO IS THE SELLER.

IF YOU GET AN E-MAIL JUST RUN A FEW CHECKS.

IF THE SELLER INFORMS YOU TAHT HIS PAY PAL ACOUNT IS NOT WORKING AND WANTS A CHECK/MONEY ORDER. DONT WALK AWAY..RUN

ONCE YOU GET AN OFFER, IGNORE THAT E-MAIL. GO TO YOUR MY E-BAY PAGE. YOU WILL FIND THE ITEM UNDER ITEMS I DID NOT WIN. CLICK ON IT AND CONTACT THE BUYER VIA THIS PAGE. JUST ASK IS THIS SECOND CHANCE OFFER GENUINE? HE/SHE WILL GET THE E-MAIL VIA E-BAY AND YOU WILL GET A REPLY THE SAME WAY. THERE IS NO WAY FOR THIS TO BE INTERCEPTED BY A SCAMMER. ALSO CHECK YOUR MESSAGES ON YOUR MY E-BAY PAGE. ANY EMAILS HERE ARE GENIUNE. SO YOU HAVE 2 CHECKS TO VERIFY.

THE SCAM AND FRAUD

THESE LOW LIFE SCUM WILL WATCH AN ITEM. WHEN ITS SOLD, THEY WILL CONTACT YOU, YOUR BIDS ARE RECORDED ON THE ITEM. THEY WILL OFFER YOU A SECOND CHANCE OFFER. HOWEVER THEY WILL WANT YOU TO CLICK DIRECTLY ON THAT PAGE. THEY WILL COME UP WITH ALL SORTS OF REASONS WHY YOU CANT GO VIA E-BAY. IF YOU CARRY OUT THE ABOVE CHECKS YOU CANT GO WRONG AND YOU GET YOUR ITEM AT THE PRICE YOU ARE PREPARED TO PAY. TRY TO ALWAYS PAY WITH PAYPAL, THIS IS AN ADDED SECURITY MEASURE.

OTHER SCAMS

IF YOU GET AN E-MAIL FROM PAY PAL THANKING YOU FOR PAYMENT THAT YOU CLEARLY DID NOT BUY, JUST DELETE IT OF FORWARD IT TO PAY PAL. DO NOT EVER CLICK WHERE IT SAYS. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH THIS TRANSACTION CLICK HERE. THIS IS FROM A FRAUDSTER.

ITS A SHAME WE HAVE TO DO THESE CHECKS BUT A FEW ROTTEN EGGES WILL ALWAYS SPOIL FOR OTHERS. IF YOU HAVE ANY DOUBTS, ALWAYS CONTACT THE BUYER VIA E-BAY.
