Ebay scammers still trying the old standards

I listed a steering wheel clock for sale last night before I went to bed and this morning Ebay informed me it had sold!

The next email was from the top bidder!

Hello mate,

I agreed to pay the amount you want as buy it now .But i am using this medium to inform you that the amount of the money order is more than ur item fee,and the reason of the over payment is that the money order has been over signed by my stock broker, once you receive it, get it cash and deduct ur item fees and westernunion the balance money to my store manager in Africa. As soon as this is done I will call on my shipping company for the pickup.There will be no problem about the shippment.Iwill make provision for it via my shiping company DHL.

just make sure you deduct ur item fees and westernunion the balance to my store manager once you cash it.

Below are the questions i have for you.

1)is the item in good condition as you describe it?

2)is there any westernunion location where you can send the balance money arround you?

3)can you allow me to send DHL for the pick up and complet the transaction after the money orders clear in your bank.

If yes to all my questions.kindly email me back your full name and address, so that the money order will be mail out today.

Thanks

Evidently people still fall for this stuff if they are still using it?

I have contacted Ebay to see about getting my ebay fees back so I can relist, Added this dingdong to my blocked bidder list (probably won't do much good as this account will be shut down) It has only been open 2 days has zero feedback and the feedback is set to private. I just hope he does not leave me a negative feedback before he gets booted off ebay. I am not resopnding to him in any form. The Ebay account says the UK but you can bet it is Africa

I still think Ebay is great they just need to line these guys up and shoot them!

Here was the Auction!

just answer his ad and tell him in regard to his first question concerning the product..it is a known fact that the clock would not work in Africa as it is geared for the western hemisphere and would run backwards in his country.

Send some Kruggerands if still interested...
