yup, I'm at work in simi right now. But of course 'internet auction' sites are filtered here. So I can't get in to see what the auction is for. If someone wants to PM me, I could go over after work and check it out.

Yep,

The x scooter was going for $1450 from this guy on ebay May 9, 2006.

Got all the way through the deal and then it all fell apart when he
sent me a SECURETRADE BANNERED email telling me to send the money via
WESTERN UNION !!!!! No Credit Cards ...

In the email it said that secure trade had $5000 in escrow and there was no need to worry.. :-)

I sent the information to securetrade and to ebay, both saying it was a fraud
attempt !!!

BECAREFULL !! If its to good to be true ...

Friends:

All that needs to be done, is to report this as a "scam" and the listing gets removed in short order. I have shot down a number of these, and found that EBay is fairly responsive in removing the listing. Easy to do!
