I had made $1432 (firing order, dontcha know) bid on some gear, a K20,
16-50, 50-135 and other goodies. I decided to drop out of the race and
the auction went for $1800.
I got a message, from yet another ebay account, saying that the person
who won the auction didn't have the money, and they are offering it to
me at the price I bid, please contact them at such and such an email
address, where they need my ebay account, real name, address etc. so
that they can go through ebay procedures to sell me the gear at the
price I bid at, and they won't charge shipping.
Why a different account? It's her husband's account. The account that
was selling the gear has not responded to my queries. I'm about 87.3%
convinced that someone is working a scam, though I'm not sure how they
managed to contact me through ebay.
Is there any reason that I shouldn't just report this to ebay's fraud
department? If I should, who would I report it to?
