RE: IML: Possible phony eBay listing

Sounds like a listing I almost got sucked into about 2 months ago. This guy finds a way to hijack a valid user’s account and post an incredible car for a ridiculously low price. I almost jumped on his listing for a 1960 300F for $5800. But the haunting words of my parents came back to remind me: “If it looks too good to be true, it probably is”. All this guy is trying to get is the initial deposit and then bail without a trace.

I reported this scam listing to Ebay and they removed it. This jerk hi jacked listings of others and somehow makes the entire page a hyperlink to his email address. He lists several cars each week, none of which are his and shows a ridiculously low buy it now price. I have complained to Ebay a couple of times about how their website security is compromised - but, the listings still continue and Ebay can't seem to figure out how to stop it.

Did anyone else see the eBay listing of the 64 conv this morning which showed pictures of Jay D'Angelo's car but said the car was in West Virginia and had a buy it now price of $6500? I emailed the seller and was told they have owned it since 2002. The listing is gone now, but I hope no one got scammed.
