BE CAREFUL. These guys are getting so sophisticated and their emails look legit as if they were sent by Ebay members.
This one is so sloppy and the english is obviously from someone whose english is not his/her first language, but I have seen others that are so slick, that they make you do a double-take. They use Ebay graphics/images and look so real.
report these to [email protected]

But come on, a TS-870 for $300 ...sign me up.

Anyone who believes an ad like that deserves to have their money taken. That one is just too obvious. Just what is an "international warranty" !!

Yes, I know it's silly to see an 870 for 300 bux, but it will go up tomorrow as I keep chatting with this nutjob.
I have seen "second chance" offers for same price as closing bid saying that the winning bidder failed to complete the transcation. That is probably the most hidious and insidious ones using identical graphics as Ebay.

A newer Ham might go for it. Nobody deserves to be ripped off.

I don't believe that if the message truely came from eBay second chance service that the persons email would show up like that. Another thing is to always always check the "My Messages" in your "My eBay" to see if the message shows up there. If it doesn't it's a fraud...
