    GC2 SCAM Alert

    Just saw this one posted on eBay.

    http://www.ebay.com/itm/Foresight-Sp...MAAOSwFdtX1t6f

    I'm in the Phoenix area... Sent an email stating I'd like to see the unit before I buy it since we're both right here! Heh heh heh!

    It has gotten to the point where more often than not any ebay listing for a gc2 or flightscope is a scam with an email address and a low price if you email them directly. I always flag them but they keep coming back. I am surprised it is worth the effort because I can't believe anyone would actually wire them money. We need a programmer to write a script that sends them a bunch of inquiries to waste the scammers' time haha.

      Agreed! So, I got a response. Not from the message I sent through eBay to the listed seller, but from the email listed in the "image". The reply stated he / she was in New York at the moment, but would be back in AZ in a few days, and that I'd be more than welcome to check out the unit then IF it were still available. There are several others interested in it and I've been assured the unit is NEW! Unreal! They must be making money off of people, like you said... Coz they just keep coming back for more...

        You should say that you have a brother in New York who could meet up with him to check out the unit haha

          Haha! Quick thinking! The original seller responded back through eBay. Stated he / she wasn't selling anything and that it was some kind of error. That they had reported it to eBay, and apologized for the inconvenience. I'd be interested to know how the thieves were able to post something for sale through another's account, without having their login info... Whatever. At least this eBay member had like 50 transactions and a 100% rating! Most of the time they're one or two year old accounts with one or two transactions.
