Is This GPS Price Too Good To Be True ?
 
Quite fancy getting myself a GPS and just seen this on Ebay. They are selling it for £95 as a buy it now. Does that sound too good to be true ?. Nearest price I could find on the net was around £1200.

Not too familier with GPS's so what do you reckon, take a chance, or does it seem too good to be true ?.

:hmm:

It's been removed! I think that answers the question :ok:

Ah ha. So it has. There were 3 of them all at the same price, all now gone.

:suspect:

Its a scam.

There has been a rash of them recently.

Don't be fooled - they are usually put up by people with phoney or hijacked accounts.

:ooh:

Didnt see the add but things to look for that would start alarm bells ringing...

- wanting payment by Western Union or similar money telegrams
- stating you should contact them only via the email address given in the add and not via ebay contact details - usually [email protected], [email protected], etc - you get the idea!
- zero rating sellers offering expensive goods.
- sellers who will not allow you to collect expensive items.
- sellers who have sold a couple of cheap items before to get a rating and then suddenly sell £2000 worth of plasma telly!!!
- sellars who dont know the answer to any of your questions, or never respond!
