I was recently bidding on a pair of Ohm Walsh 2 speakers along with several other potential buyers. Being new to the site as well as the bid process, I wasn't really shocked to see a private offer coming from someone. Trouble was the E-mail/E-bay name weren't right or consistant. I've got crappy credit and can only do things a few particular ways, so when my -454 credit rating was jacked to a 4000, I was needless to say alarmed and reported this nonsense to E-bay. To confirm my suspicions, the bid went over the target amount I was inclined to agree to. Yes the Romanian SCAM. As the phrase goes, buyer beware, Mark
