Default This is for 2DMaxLST!! and others (ebay scam)

Hey bro I just wanted to let you know. That someone is using your picture of your trucks on ebay. ( The pic were you have 2 lst2 in the back of your pickup truck). A buddy of mine is looking to buy a used lst2 so he posted a wanted add on ebay. He sent me an email to get my opinion on a listing someone sent him. And it was your trucks they were using to try to scam money off of people. So I told my buddy that I have seen those pictures in this forum and I knew whose trucks they were. So I told him it was a scam. The person trying to sell them was form The UK. ($300 for both)

Anyway I am sure you don't care, but just thought I would let you know.



Later Greg

This happened the other day. I will have to see if he still has the link. I deleted it like an idiot. I told him to report it to ebay. I do remember the guys e-mail though. [email protected]

uh, that doesn't mean it's a scam dude. If the seller doesn't have any pictures of his own car, but finds a like car on a website, that is totally common to use another picture to sell something, car or not.

It is very mis-leading though, 2D's LST is set up for racing with a lot of upgrade parts etc. Someone who knows what they are looking it could believe that they will be getting this truck.

I call this a scam, if he couldn't take his own photo he should have got a stock photo from the Losi site

not putting a picture of what your actually selling is a scam and misleading. would you like to see a pic of a lst2 and buy it then get a tmaxx or warhead evo?

Very true. It is usually not a problem to note using a stock photo when selling something new, but if the photo is not yours, it is typically proper to ask permission or at least describe (in detail) the differences as well as the source of the image. At the very least, it is improper netiquette.
