Ok, so here's the deal. I'm sure most of you know about the most recent supercharger on e-bay. Link Well I was the high bidder. I soon after got a e-mail from the seller wanting me to send her payment in England. She said it was her brothers and she is visiting him and wants to sell it for him. I thought there was something fishy sendinging money out of the country so I delayed payment. I looked up her contact information and it listed a number in Minnesota, I called it today and they had never heard of the lady. I quickly decided not to send payment. I soon after got an e-mail from BlackCoug, Thanks a lot dude!!, he said that she offered him the supercharger for 1800 because I tried to pay with a credit card (NOT TRUE!!) he was e-mailing me to confirm if I had payd or not. I already filed a complaint with the IFCC and the FBI but I'm not sure if they can do anything out of the country. IF you BID and got an e-mail DO NOT SEND PAYMENT. She is a complete fraud. If you would like more information or would like to see copies of the e-mails reply or PM me I have them all. I'm very glad I was able to avoid this fraud and I hope others are to. If you need any help in this matter don't hesitate to ask. John

Even if it was a "good deal," it is always bad news to bid on high priced items from non registered users with no feedback. Too many old ebay deals gone bad...

This looked like a sweet deal, too, but the O feedback did raise the hair a bit.
If I'd had money in hand, it might have been tempting.
You're not out anything, are you?
Thanks for the heads up.

No, I didnt loose any money, good thing. Notice she was either banned from e-bay or de-registered. I wonder if she thought she would actually get away with it. I'm just glad I didnt get burned, and hope this helped some of ya.

I'm not sure what you are saying, but if you do not believe me, just look at the aucion again, it says she is not a registered user.....odd she use to be. She either got kicked off or "de-registered". That should be proof enough she is trying to cover her tracks so I don't get her address and phone number....oops to late, I guess it's time for me to make LONG distance phone call. You don't suppose my local police dep. would transfer me to england do you? Eh, I'll just have to look the LPD's number.
