Another style of eBay fraud - be aware
- item is listed at a NO-RES auction, or for a low price.
- seller's feedback is EXCELLENT, typically 100% positive - real pics of a watch are used, not stock What to look for: Feedback is good and well, but how recent is it? If the last one was left over a year ago, and had nothing to do with watches, it's a red flag. Likely, this account has been hi-jacked and is being used without the real owner's knowledge. Auction ends, winner pays, tracking number is added. odds are, it is a slow method, like USPS Parcel. KEEP AN EYE ON THE TRACKING! If it is a scam, the label will get the parcel to your post office (correct zip code), but will be undeliverable beyond that, as the name/address will be incorrect. Close, but incorrect. For instance, your building address is 8857 AnyStreet, but it will be addressed to PO box 8857. So, it will get sent back, buying scammers more time, and rendering you unable to file a claim for the time being. What you have to do is to intercept the parcel once it lands to your local post office. The scammers are getting more and more creative. Be vigilant.
