Still doing it!! Going through the process wiith him at the minute. The amount of people that have had dealings with him, AND eBay have addresses/email addresses etc for him, and still probably won’t do a sodding thing about it. Just shows how protected we really are. Glad I found this site!!

moore is still on the scam. The lousy, disjointed grammar and punctuation on emails from paypal and ebay made me suspicious, but admittedly i very nearly posted the item until i had the nouse to ring paypal and google the rogue!!!

i got one too. but thie thing is for the item i sold ebay took about £30 in fees. We at incognito had a similar scam to Nigeria, an order for 2000 bottles, which had to be air freighted by DHL -alarm bell moment.i would imagine if you cancelled a genuine bid again the genuine buyer would contact you immediately.well..its depend on time...what can i say more about it...emmie from safe home doors

We at incognito had a similar scam to Nigeria, an order for 2000 bottles, which had to be air freighted by DHL -alarm bell moment. The buyer seemed genuine enough & even gave a valid credit card number. What happens is the Mark flies in the goods once the cc has been authorised, then they reverse or query the transaction eg goods arrived faulty & one hasn’t got a leg to stand on. As a company we have wasted so much time on East Africans that I now find it very hard to take any quote seriously & so spend the minimum
of time on quotes from that region. We still donate a net to Africa for everyone we sell & will continue to do so for the common good:) On one level I don’t blame them trying out these scams when some of them may be living in abject poverty!

When you list your item you can state bidder preferences that prevent anyone with less than i think 2 feedback and a number of other parameters from bidding, …of course if it was buy it now then i am not sure, ..but if it is an auction i always watch the bids, if i get a dodgy bid i email the bidder immediately, ..anyone genuine will respond immediately, anyone not genuine will not and then you can just cancel their bid.
I would imagine if you cancelled a genuine bid again the genuine buyer would contact you immediately.

Perhaps ebay should start a ‘pay as you go’ scheme for people with less than a certain amount of feedback, where you have to credit your account with money that is held by ebay before you can bid, so they know the money is there, …but then we are going into another realm you shouldn’t get be started on, PayPal not being a legally recognised financial institution and therefore not being governed by the FSA and their regulations.

…my advice to you, ..cancel the bid if you can.

Just sold a gold coin collection for £1335 to a Abram Moore registered in the USA
He joined ebay today and has 0 feedback

I added him to my blocked list, but it didnt stop him bidding (must be a delay somewhere in ebays system)

Despite 3 emails during the course of the morning, i have heard nothing from him
Will keep you posted

I now feel sorry for any genuine Abraham Moore’s out there :)
I am just pleased to facilitate the quick 2nd chance offers as we all know the annoyance of having to re-list and re-claim fees. Glad it worked out for you.

Mr Abram is still busy – became a new Ebay member yesterday and ‘won’ the bidding for my gold bracelet and sovereign last night. Address given as: Street: Bronx, City: Bronx – just a tiny bit suspiscious!!

This morning I got now one but four emails supposedly being bank transfers for Abram Moore from the same adress as above in Nigeria. Confirmed with Paypal that they were spoofs and sold very quickly to the top 2nd chance buyer. Have now requested that Ebay remove the ‘Abram Moore’ sale – David
