Also, the last 3 auctions that the seller listed were changed to "private" auctions. That means that all bidders names are hidden from public view. I can see why a scammer would want to do that. As soon as the buyers from the first few auctions figured out that they had been ripped off, they might tip off all the active bidders. But if the auction is private, they would have no way of contacting them. This seller really put some serious thought into his game...
