Default Another Ebay scam - SM F-18E

Just in case any of you guys are bidding on this item, I can tell you that the listing is indeed a fraud.
I personally bought this item from another e-bay member last month. Just for fun I e-mailed the seller and asked if he could provide some additional info/pics and this was his response:

"I am deeply sorry but my cam broke and I don't have other pics but the ones I have already posted on eBay. If you are really interested in purchasing my item and if you are willing to make me an offer i am sure that we can work something out before the auction ends . Please mail me and let me know your decision and your best price .
Thanks"

Yes, I notified ebay more than once. They did nothing.

I purchased item 150116246245.

Well after looking at the ad, I can't believe there are 24 bids.
The guy has no feedback and just joined last week.
The reason these scammers keep scamming is because they always have some victims who look at those credentials and think it is still ok.

remember seeing that bid several months ago. I wanted that jet and should have gotten it. Was it everything you expected?

I was a bit skeptical, but the jet and componets were exactly as described. The seller was a top notch guy. Can't wait to get it in the air!
