Another Ebay Fraud listing (I think)

Why do you think its a fraud? I dont know anything about Fender basses, really, so Im not going to claim youre wrong... yet.
Hi Sam,
the pictures are real. the bass is all correct. but, and I feel very certain about this, if you pay this person by MO or bank check, all you will ever get is to download those pictures.

:hyper: do a completed listings search "fender walnut".

I really want one of these basses too. damn it.

Hmm... looks like they lifted the pictures from this auction:

Exactly.
That is one sweet looking bass though.
I e-mailed the seller of the fraudulent listing to see if "I could pick up the bass in person and pay in cash". We'll see what she says.

Well yes..just the same pictures as were used for an auction here in the UK last week: and also the text is a part of what the other guy used. Erm..don't want to sound dim, but there's no chance this seller got it last week and is selling on in the US? (rather unimaginatively). If anyone wants to check I suppose the original seller could be contacted. His e-bay name was twin-spark.

I thought of that, but it seems unlikely. The winner of that auction does have a different user title. But if this seller really has this bass, I got first dibs.

Hi folks

That bass is/was mine, and it was picked up by FedEx yesterday to take to its' new owner. :crying:

That's the third time it's been listed fraudulently. The first time was within an hour of the original auction closing....

Btw.. where were all you guys when I listed it originally?? :D
I saw it and I love it, but I aint got the cash right now :bawl: :crying:
