found this in my inbox this morning...whats the best thing to do, inform ebay is my first thought:

if i'm not mistaken it does seema little dodgy to me. especially since the itme in question retails at roughtly £1300-1400...the one on ebay at the moment is currently being bid for £600-something.
i guess at lest its not some dude asking for it for his brother in nigeria

Aye, the lads from Lagos strike again. Of course, to receive your product, you'll need to provide a few extra fees to assist the modalities of the transaction

[Moby-Dick]

hmmm Italian + Western Union money transfer I'll bet

known scam tbh

[shiato storm]

cretins really...oh well. i guess when you sign up to something like ebay you're open to this sort of thing.

o.0 "NEGOCIATE" hmmmmm

Why are you bidding on a 70-200 L IS didn't think you had a DSLR yet?

[shiato storm]

no...35mm
waiting on the dSLR tbh, had a look at the 350D and wasn't overly impressed by the fact someone has put it through the wash and shrunk it...so got a decent SLR with the aim to build up decnt lenses for when I do get a dSLR, then can use both when/how I like. not so stupid idea me-thinks.

PoWeR SeLeR < I think that sums it up. Unless he has a nerves twitch and keeps nocking shiFt. XD.

Scam scam scam. I never ever read those kind of messages anymore, there really shouldn't be any need to ask either. Never ever trust anyone who e-mails you about a auction on eBay. Ever.

Remember that link of someone actually playing the nigerians at their own game. I wonder what ever happened to him.

[shiato storm]

unsurprisingly ebay just reply with a pre-fabricated email saying 'watch out for spam/scammers'... well, thats pro-active I must say!
