WOW!
Definately a SCAM!
24 hour auctions and the seller has not got feedback for a while. Claims they sell molds.
Someone obviously hijacked that persons account.
I give them balls for listing that many items! Must have taken forever!
I would avoid with more than a 10 foot pole!

BTW, I emailed the account holder and notified him of the problem. He didn't know.

I report dozens of JBL fraud auctions every day. eBay could instantly catch most these listings - I dont know why they don't... All the ones I report have direct email contact requests, and they're still using the same email addresses for weeks. I can log on virtually anytime, search on these addresses, and instantly turn up the latest fraud listings. If I can do it that easily manually, eBay could easily do it automatically... All I can think is they want to be able to brag about how many listings they have each year, regardless of whether they're fraudulent listings or not.

The guy is hijacking quite a few accounts! :biting:
I sent a message to the auction above to notify them of their account may be hijacked.
The pattern seems to be the scammer targets the big sellers, hiding his fruadulent things in their 100's of items on auction...

Ya know, after all, it's this site of do-gooders that keep the do-gooders from getting into big trouble. Think I'll make a $25.00 donation, just because. How 'bout a $25.00 challenge to ALL, I'll go first, who'll join me. Looks like the fund could use an infusion...Come on guys giddyup....If you haven't saved at least 25 bucks being a member here, I'll buy you a beer...

Hi Steve, sent 50 bucks a couple weeks ago. It's been a hell of a ride the past couple of months. As far as saving $$$$ I really think we end up spending orders of magnitude more than we initialy planned for. I am living proof. Apart from that it's been a pleassure to have found a place to share past experiences and pursue new ones. Everyone here has been extremely helpful and fun. Thanks for having me around.
Check out this ebayer: item 330071632715
asked for contact #'s listed ones are wrong

The creative liar is a growth profession.
"I'm selling these speakers in a 24 hour auction at a huge loss because I need the money for my mom who's been diagnosed with terminal Brille-Simpson disease. Please do use THIS e-mail account to contact me to expedite the sale. For some reason ebay e-mails do not reach me." :bs:
"It pains me to part with these, but I am recently (divorced/unemployed/victim of a natural disaster/victim of a crime/diagnosed with genital amputation syndrome) and need to move these to pay bills. I know they're worth five times what I'm asking, but I need the money NOW. Please don't call, as I don't want to disturb my (wife/baby/ailing grandparent/kids who don't know/the IRS). Contact by THIS email only, and I will respond immediately. I am online 24/7 researching a way to solve my problem (look for suckers) and will see the notification right away. My loss is your gain." :bs:
These scammers make it tough on people with legitimate problems.
