I think there is a scammer selling on Ebay

Hi a while back I purchased a 10.1 Tablet on here which was a scam, many other buyers got caught as well ,money refunded from paypal ,now a bit worried that it is happening again.Of course I cannot name the seller but its a brand new quadcore 10.1 Tab again newly listed and more than 10 for sale in fact its nearly an identical ad to the last one, I know I cannot name the seller but the price is under $70-00

This advice is ringingn in my ears IF IT LOOKS TOO CHEAP IT IS MOST PROBERLY A SCAM.

hi b.tara, sorry to hear you got caught up in the previous scam listing.

Good on you for spotting and reporting a new potential fraud listing. Unfortunately electronics are a magnet for fraud listings and mostly all any of us regular members can do is report them when we see them. There are a couple of "Hijack Hunters" still left on the boards who are actually often listened to when reports about suspicious listings are made.

When asking from help on the boards you just need to share the exact title of the listing. As you have already stated we can't list the name of the person and we can't list the item number.

Keep up the good work!

BOH

Hi thanks for your reply .the listing is no longer there ,the seller had sold a couple of dozen the last time I looked ,the only way to see if was a scam is when the complaints come in or that ebay has stopped the seller.,if they have we wont know if it was a scam,but a new 10.1 Tabet for under $70 when others of the same Tablet were selling for over $200-300.
