There are currently several identical listings running that are titled: "18" Boxster Porsche Wheels / Tire Pkg (NEW)" or "5 spoke 2003 996 wheels +tires Boxster S NEW" that appear to be problamatic. There have been other identical listings over the past few days that have been pulled, and the id's are NARU (not a registered user).

I cannot say these are fraudulent, but if you look at the other listings for these sellers, and you look at earlier transactions, you can draw your own conclusions. eBay has been alerted.

For those of you who do not know how typical eBay fraud works, a bad guy gets a user's ID and password (see other posts) and "hijacks" the account. They then list a lot of high-end (usually)items at too good to be true prices. Payment usually requires a MO, wire transfer, or Western Union payment, often times offshore. Money's gone, no goods delivered.

Hopefully these will be pulled today.

I am posting this on a couple of other forums as well.

FAKE AD

You are correct - this looks very suspicious - and the price really is too good to be true.

 

on the ad you have deemed fake. When you look at his "other items for auction" there are 5 pages of expensive wheels. when you look at his previous auctions, all he has ever sold is...BASEBALL CARDS !!! yes, very fishy!!! max

 

Thanks for that Information, I am always careful when using Ebay, but you gave me some new things to check next time I bid.

Thanks
