Fraudulent E55 Auction on Ebay

Take a look at this fraudulent auction on Ebay so you can see what a scam in progress looks like. I have reported several similar bogus auctions to Ebay but they keep reappearing. All have a similar MO. Private auction and you must contact seller to request permission to bid. When you contact seller he trys to get you to negotiate via email outside of Ebay and ultimately to wire a deposit to an overseas account.

All I can say is Thank YOu Very Much--its amazing how many people get
defrauded though these scams. This scam ended "early" and I'm sure its due to people like you reporting it.

14,500 Was he serious? LOL thats just the price for the right fender on that car. Never buy anything from a person without feedback, at least I dont, especially something so expensive, that does have fraud written all over it.
