I was recently bidding on a #4mk1T telescope w accessories on ebay. I wasn't too serious about it, and the price went to over $2000. After the auction ended I got a "second chance offer" Later I got another, then another. All looked fairly close to the real thing, except instead of going to some form of buy it now, you were supposed to contact the buyer.
I contacted them and strung them along for a bit, and even managed to get the price lower than what I had even bid, then let them know they were really the third and fourth chance offers.
I've heard of others getting caught on these scams. I have to wonder how the ebay scammers get our emails?
