Look at the feedback for this seller .

Why is she selling her rebreather? Why, isn't it obvious? She needs room for more hair pins and earrings!

Sounds good...

problem is, you would have to be pretty confident that it was a scam, last thing you would wanna do was wreck any legit auctions...

YES!!! I would love to get back at those scammers. Anything I can do to help...computer security pays my bills as it is.

A scam forum would be great - but there should be some ground rules, to adding to it, to make sure we dont squash legit auctions. But there is plenty of them out there for sure.

We could start a gallery of scam pictures, we always see the same rebreather images show up in these scams! This would be a sure fire way to help.

I just found this: eBay: Kirby Morgan - Superlite 17B Commercial Dive Helmet (item 110056792659 end time Nov-26-06 17:51:06 PST)
