Is there something wrong with that??? No one lies on eBay lmao! What a joke! This auction is weak. hammer Advanced Member Username: hammer Post Number: 208 Registered: 9-2009 Posted on Wednesday, August 08, 2012 - 7:10 am:    Looks like it's already been taken down. The lack of creativity among scammers today is amazing. Using the same photo again and again of a very rare bass...now if it was a pic of a Fender Jazz or Precision I would understand, but an Alembic Series bass. I'd do feel sorry for the person who really does own that beautiful bass. If he/she ever decides to put it up on evilbay there will be a lot of folks out there who won;t even think of putting in a serious bid. longhorncat Senior Member Username: longhorncat Post Number: 455 Registered: 8-2005 Posted on Wednesday, August 08, 2012 - 7:37 am:    I read an interesting article about how scammers have started to dumb-down their pitch emails and ads. They've released if someone is dumb enough to reply to an obvious scam, then they are dumb enough to send money. enzo Advanced Member Username: enzo Post Number: 317 Registered: 4-2009 Posted on Thursday, August 09, 2012 - 7:18 pm:    Exactly, it's not lack of creativity of the scammers but rather an abundance of silly folks OR first time Ebayers. hammer Advanced Member Username: hammer Post Number: 214 Registered: 9-2009 Posted on Sunday, August 12, 2012 - 6:22 pm:    Deja, deja, deja vue.
