Sadly there will always be people who will fall for this. We may all be proud that we can spot a scam because in reality 99.99% of us can see thru it, but in actual fact its the 0.01% the scammers are looking for.

Hi,
OK what happened was a buyer purchased a item from me (posting to Australia only) turns out buyer was in the states, checked them out and they sell and buy model trains and acessorries, so to purchase a mobile phone from Oz seemed out of charactor to me, got a note on something like "Hi mate glad found your phone, please send invoice and your Paypal details " Then new it was a scam, confirmed by Ebay the next day, and told all selling fees on the item have been waived and can relist as the buyers account had been hacked, so relisted it. then recieved a so called Ebay message to say apparently the buyer was purchasing this item at the same time is account got hacked ???? so most not relist and procede with the transacation, so to date they have sent 4 so called messages from the buyer and 2 more spoof Ebay messages insisting i send the phone and get paid later, well this scammer is like a dog with a bone, but new it, as the last lot of messages are on email address used by another ID , not the one from this ID as the email from this ID can not send messages, so emailed the buyer on the other, messages from Ebay only come to your ID email account.
