GC2 E-Bay Scam is back!

[aja]

Hi guys! Our scammer is back on E-Bay. Definitely not legit as the listing includes text that suggests contacting him directly about bidding which is contrary to E-Bay policy.

[Tekbud]

Doesn't seem to be stopping bidders...

Knowing it was fake, I put in a few bids myself.

This is squarely on E-Bay. They aren't monitoring the situation and the so-called seller, even has a reputation score on E-Bay, so he can be identified.

At this point I blame eBay. They should know by now that these fake GC2 adds keep on resurfacing with requests to email and act off the eBay grid. They should be shutting these adds from resurfacing.

They need to update their software so it can identify e-mail addresses that are hidden in pictures instead of in the text of the auction.

These are all fake, I've emailed just for laughs and giggles and never get a reply.

[Tekbud]

[JKurz]

Damn, thats a smoking deal!! LOL

[Gamble Gamble]

ive reported it twice now - you would think ebay would shut this down quicker...

Like I said, I blame EBay at this point.

[luv2golf]

It's gone now. With the picture pasted in there, eBay doesn't see any violation of guidelines until it's reported.

[Ookie]

Back again.

Two big red flags:

1. The account with only a single feedback--and that was from a purchase.
2. Including 14 courses with it for only $2,000. At least try to be convincing and include 4-5.

[Mazenblue]

I report it every time I see it. I really hate scammers.

[Ookie]

I reported him as well. They took is down already.

[Ookie]

Back yet again. This guy is a real scum bag.

Once again, the red flag is the account with only a single previous transaction (as a buyer), as well as the picture where he asks you to e-mail him (so that he can request that the transaction be done outside of eBay).
