Yea, thats kind of troublesome to me that they had your email addy, I wonder how they got that. AFAIK it isnt supposed to be available unless you make it available, but of course I dont know the internet that well so maybe it was simple.

man i still think ebay has a major security breach going on...... to much bs all of a sudden

buyer beware

I'm selling you a great deal. it's a once in a life time chance to buy $100,000,000 in gold for $10


since I now sent you a msg that is more or less a scam through thirdgen.org does that mean thirdgen.ord is implicated in this scam? just because the msg came from ebay doesn't mean ebay is in on this and sponsering the scam.



doing a simple search on ebay turned up a few thigns also


Receiving a Second Chance Offer
you said you received this in your email right? not the "My messages" in ebay directly?

also it seems this message came from the user itself rather then ebay directly. the user just used ebay to actually send the msg it seems. that is cited as not being legite by ebay.

western union is a big clue to it being false. haven't you heard of all the scams going around and they use western union? also have you ever really seen anythign on ebay about using western union? if I have it isn't very often.

the whole address change thing seems very iffy.

plus the whole your half way down hte list of previous buyers seems weird that only you would be offered the motor to purchase.

read above th with buying 1mil in gold. it comes from TGO


wouldn't bother me any and hope he gets what he deserves. nobody needs to be scammed for that much money

change what policy? you could of easily looked at ebay to find out information that would have helped you make the decision. there are lots of thingsi nthere help section that warn against false emails, how to let you know if an email is legit, even on telling you the how to go about doing and receive and act upon a second chance auction. you didn't look at that information it isn't ebays fault with all that. while it sucks that this happened and I know it could happen to me as well which I hope it doesn't and I'm sorry for what happened to you part of it does fall with you not double checking things. you could of easily looked into ebay's policy and how they do things vs how this was done and easily see it wasn't real. you should know yourself that this was done outside of ebay. the only thing ebay MIGHT of been used for is the carrier and even that I wonder about. you can't just put the blame on ebay and the guy then call it good.
but in the way things are now I hope you learn. I know myself I have been taken down with things by others just in different situations. it sucks sadthing is it is a part of life anymore. only thing we can really do is learn. AND HELP OTHERS LEARN which for this thank you. if nothing else by this scam you have helped others see that bad people are out there, and by some here are pointing out things that you might of missed that hopefully they will see if this same thing happenes to them. and hopefully if this happenes to you again you will know what to do this time and go about taking care of this the correct way.



that one is a good one

if I sound like I'm just sitting here chewing your bum I'm not meaning it like that. today is just going slow at work and the customers are interesting :-)

this whole past two weeks has been a hellasious headache from hell...... loss of sleep, loss of appetite, and a mine explosion less than 5 miles from my mine, just makes me wonder if any car is worth it anymore......

bottom line, this mother****er will get his, bottom line! this thread saved a fellow thirdgenner 5 grand, nuff said!

it's funny though, i looked at the irs website, and my 3000 is a write off that i will get back tax time, (bad news) it gets taxed again even though it was taxed from my wages at work. uncle sams way of giving you the green wienne again!

another funny thing, when i have mentioned suing ebay, it seemd people here went ape**** over it, i was thinking it was funny how bsalesco got my email address, because on ebay trying to send an email without sending through ebays messages is about impossible! isn't that a violation of their privacy policy? ahh the hell with it, i am tired of even thinking about it.... next time i will keep it all to myself.

think about this one though your email address is the same as your user name on ebay. granted they might of gotten it another way. but it can't be that hard to figure ok lets try xxx@yahoo.com xxx@hotmail.com xxx@gmail.com and hope we hit the right one.

have you checked your msgs yet in ebay?



it's the same way if you ovrepay your taxes if I remember right. you overpay so you get your money back next year on your overpayment but because you gave the government too much money that they can use for a while for their own needs they then will on top of using your money till they have to pay you back tax you because they where able to use your money for a while on your overpayment. HUH?!?!?! shouldn't I collect interest on them for "lending" them my money?

the email has three characters the username didn't...... they got it somehow but either way....

rx7speed

my missunderstanding then. I kind glanced through some of the stuff. but I do understand what you are saying with that. it is a little weird. I'm not sure how they are doing it then.


either way way though if you like I have a nice 76 accord you could shove up his *** if you want. and being it is FWD it should make it easier and more painfull as those should be the first wheels to enter his anus. see guys FWD isn't always bad

There's plenty of ways to get your email address without Ebay handing it out. Hell, from this thread I now know your user name and email address. Plus your user name is very similar to your email, it doesn't take a very complicated piece of software to take your user name and look for all remotely similar email addresses posted on the net. I guarantee that 1000 more possible people got the same email you did. It's called phishing for a reason, you throw your lines and hope for a bite.

This is one of the main reasons I have the ebay toolbar installed. It actually works and verifies if links in e-mails or e-mails are valid ebay addresses.

I just looked at the username you put up and

More than likely it was a scam person who registerd got what he/she wanted and removed themselves.

Like was said, check the "my messages" in "my ebay" and see if you have it in there.
