[Waverley ARS] eBay Scams - dont get caught

[Eddie Hanham]

Dear Members

Just did a little investigation on eBay Scams over the weekend and 
there a couple members should be aware of. There is the Nigerian and 
China Scams as follows:

For SELLERS:   Bidpay Fraud from Nigeria (going since 2005)

They use fake Bidpay or Paypal (URGENT)emails notifying you of 
payment. You send item and don't get paid. Solution make sure payment 
has actually been paid into your account before shipping, see:

Video of Police Raid in Nigeria (Oz Video Channel 9 I think)see:

For BUYERS:  China Wholesale/Members mailorder sites in Beijing.

You pay and never get the goods. Solution, don't get sucked in by 
SPAM offering low prices. See:
