[MRCA] ebay scam

[ROBERT FORTE]

BE CAREFUL. BE VERY CAREFUL. I GOT SCAMMED WHEN I WENT TO AN EBAY SITE FOR AN AR-11, WHICH DIRECTED ME TO PAGE TWO, WHICH WAS THEN AN OFF-SITE SCAMMING SITE, COMPLETE WITH AN EBAY “CHAT ROOM”.  WENT TO COURT TO CLAIM EBAY WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR BREACH, LOST, SO WAS OUT MEGABUCKS. WHAT I LEARNED THE HARD WAY: BEWARE OF “PAGE TWO’S” THAT TAKE YOU OFF-SITE, EVEN THO YOU WOULD SWEAR IT WAS STILL AN EBAY SITE (LOOKS IDENTICAL). PAY THRU PAYPAL ONLY, NO CASH , NO CHECKS.  IT’S GETTING CRAZY OUT THERE. ROB
