I suppose the scammers think they are safe due to the size of eBay these days, thinking no-one will catch up with them. Sadly, they are everywhere. watch them come out of the woodwork when there's a disaster!

I still remember after the earthquake in Newcastle in '89, people were being scammed left right and centre by people claiming to be builders. The scammers have only got more brazen as time has gone on and now with the ability to do it online, they think they are immune.
