It appears to me that we now have another ebay scam artist wanne be.

I recieved this email this morning and I think it has to be someone in the marble world. I just don't know where.

John M. This was your win (you lucky dog hahaha)


<b>Subject: eBay Second Chance Offer for Item (300171116762)
From: "eBay" donderou at aol dot com Add to Address Book Add Mobile Alert
Hi,I am the seller of the eBay item :300171116762,and I've just been contacted by the eBay staff who informed me that the winner of this item got rejected due to security reasons (either failed to follow through on the purchase commitment or outright refused to do so). Your last auctioned bid prior to being outbided is taken into consideration as eBay policy automatically proclaims you to be the winner by default.Nevertheless,I need your agreement on this so I may contact eBay to confirm your winning position otherwise I'll relist the item. If you're interested please confirm by forwarding this message to e-mail and include your name,address and ebay ID. Thanks!</b>



Actually, I was the 3rd lower bidder. Not the 2nd.

Track it anyway you want and there is NO info via ebay for this sellers name or email address.

This PERSON wants all of MY info and does not give me ANY info I can verify. GO FIGURE!!!!!

SCAMMER, but a VERY dumb one at best !!!!!

Thats my auction. What a load!! John was the winner and the marble is on the way to him. Just the other day I was looking at new listings and somebody was using my pictures from a ended auction. I emailed him and he pulled them. Thanks for bringing this to our attention Bo.

I thought that I'd seen that name "donderou" on the ebay forums, in connection to 2nd chance offers. My brother gets them all the time. I've received them, even when I haven't bid on anything! Laughing

The scammers that send out these 2nd chance auctions all seem to be located overseas. Anyway, when you google the donderou at aol.com address, you can see that it links up to a number of 2nd chance frauds that have been talked about on the ebay forums and elsewhere.
