Hey John
I posted about this yesterday mate (I think in response to one of your posts actually), I'd be more than happy to pay money directly into a Spanish Bank account, wouldn't you

Soz Chris.
I had a quick look and couldn't find a reference to it on BC. We really need to reform the old 'squad' back together... can I be Bodie or is it Doyle, damn I can never figure out which one gets the most tottie, either way I drive the Capri when we bust the latest eBay perps!

Right behind you Bodie
Acually, I'd like to be Reagan from The Sweeney. That way, rather than get all deep and philosophical like B&D, I can just wade in and beat 10 shades of crap out of the perps!

OK I'll be Carter (at least I get to write theme tunes for cr*p TV programmes in years to come).

Wonder who's gonna offer to be Sapphire and Steel?

Some of them are for the string mutes, aren't they? Someone has definitely added some extra ones too over the years though.

Interesting that the winning bidder's user name is a similar form to the the seller's and also has zero feedback. Could be that they are the same person. Either that or some mug has just blown £900 on a scam.

Buyer and seller are both no longer registered users!

A good tip for newbie eBayers who are wary of a similar situation, is to watch out for 0 rated new sellers who have similar user names as those just used in this attempted scam. You tend to find that they have very little imagination and invariably use a similar ID each time. Not fool-proof but you'd be surprised!
