Beware someone who wants Western Union. Someone tried to buy a high ticket item from me and wanted to pay with Western Union. What ensued was a scam, someone posing as WU and wanting me to ship the item before I got paid! I contacted WU, and the email orgs they were using to report them.

Just a reminder to eBayers that some will use the same type scam but with Second Chance offers.

I was bidding on a legit 70-200mm 4L a while back, I got outbid (snaked) at the last minute and I thought it was over. About a half an hour later I received a second chance offer that appeared to be the original seller but after an email to the guy that sent the SC offer I found the ol WU scam to be going on, had nothing to do with the origianl seller.

So be aware that these scammers watch auctions and once complete sometimes send SC offers to the second and third bidders as our email addresses are there under bid history.

Here are my emails I got back for a Roland TD-20 which is a drum set:
HI
First I want to tell you that my roland is in perfect shape,
all accessories included and also an international warranty.
The invoice will come at the same time with the package.
My price is the best you could get: 700$/unit, including the
shipping and insurance taxes. We will pay them because the package
will be delivered from Europe.I have 5 units avalaible.
As delivery service we use UPS 2 days air service or overnight (with insurance and
15 days return policy), because it's the faster also free. And if you will have
a quick payment, we must also have a quick delivery. So that's why we use as a payment method Western Union money transfer,
the fastest and also very secure way of sending money.
So, if you agree with my terms I'm sure that we can close the deal as soon as possible.
Waiting your quick answer right now,

THANK YOU

*** Then I asked: Why don't you use Paypal

no PayPal because the withdraw limit is 500USD per week. I cant use paypal because it said im over my limitand
i dont want to sound stupid but i dont understand why i cant use
paypal they only gave me a 2000.oo dollar limit for mounth my credit card has way more
than that on it. I usually pay the products with cash money.
More, I don't trust paypal payments anymore i got scamed last week or any
other onlne auctions go to this web address and read the
reviewes://paypalsucks.com/
Western Union services are more secure that paypal or any other online
services.
No particulary reasons for western union but i will receive the funds
more easy,anyway you can ask for reference at :
admin@safeserverebay.com
this man work for ebay and bought from me 5 units last week
Don't forget to tell him my email adress .
Regards,

THIS IS SCAM. Be Careful!
