What you see may NOT be what you get...!!!

Err buddies...here's one from a Newbie eBay Seller - migas_01 of Portugal...with
only 6 FB history...

1. He is listing a 1655 Exp II "Orange Hand" Freccione for auction starting from USD17K...

2. He is listing a BNIB Porsche Design watch...

3. He is seen to have "SOLD"...even a Panerai PAM202...for a cool tune of ....6,100 British Pounds...!!!

Nothing seems to be wrong at 1st glance...BUT on closer checks...ALL 3 listings have DIFFERENT formats of descriptions n pictures...being posted...which would seem to be very ODD..inconsistent...n VERY suspicious...to
begin with.

Also...in the case of the Panerai PAM that the Seller is seen to have SOLD on August 11, 2008...err about 2 months ago...the winning eBay bidder...or shall we say..."The BUYER" was
- mikamak (with 2 FB)

NOW...if one checks the previous FEEDBACK history received by the "BUYER"...mikamak (with 2 FB)...the LAST recorded transaction
was pre-dated to May 1st in the year 2007...!!!


HOW in WHICH heavens...did the Seller - migas_01 (with 6 FB) of the PANERAI PAM 202...ever manage to get the following feedback from the "BUYER" - mikamak (with 2 FB) from Cyprus...????????????

1 Feedback received

Feedback From Buyer / Price Date / Time
Positive feedback rating TOP SELLER - HONEST-FLASH SHIPMENT - A++++++++++++++++++++++
mikamak2 ( 2 )
Aug-11-08 14:00
PANERAI PAM 202 SLYTECH (#130244025952) GBP 6,100.00 View Item


With that magnitude of POSITIVE n Beautiful FEEDBACK given to the Seller - Migas_01 of Portugal...he NEVER
returned ANY nice FeedBack to the BUYER of his PANERAI PAM 202 auction...???????

What do you all think...?

1. Is the Seller - migas_01 legitimate n genuine...?

2. Does the Seller have the actual watches to deliver...?

I agree Orchi............Something is wrong in Whoville.

That looks like a hijacked account. I wonder what E-Bay will do with this one?

Orchi:

You were absolutely correct as, here is where he stole the pictures for the Steve McQueen from:

http://cgi.ebay.com/Rolex-Explorer-I...3286.m20.l1116

The other watch has been shut down now as I already reported them. They did not get this one down yet so I just gave them the link to the real sale.

Good job Orchi. As usual, your crap detector is working perfectly.
