Just want to mention a scam I haven't seen before. I bid on an item and lost. I was contacted via ebay by a member who has 100% feedback over about 5 years, in this case. The member offered me a second chance on the item, saying the winner of the bid didn't come through. In this particular case I had in fact already spoken with the real seller of the item, and he lives in England. I noticed the other member who contacted me is in the US, has nothing to do with cameras and asked me to reply to the one I'd already written to to reach the real seller directly. However, the whole thing looked quite legitimate as it went through ebay's mail system. In any event, I sent a generic reply from an email address that can't be traced to me (can't be too careful) and said "yes, i'd love to buy the item" without mentioning item number or name. The scammer in the first instance was interested in obtaining my name, address, phone number, now asking for the item # and my member ID (because he must be running this on quite a few people he couldn't know which one I was from the email). I'll post any more info received. Meanwhile I think ebay has closed that account. Anyway, just another warning amidst the many out there. dave -- dave g [EMAIL PROTECTED]
