Perhaps this thread can serve as a place for people to post FS listings they think are fraudulent on eBay, Craigslist, whatever. Here's one I'm quite sure is:

For a Pentax SMC FA* 300mm F/2.8 ED IF
Pentax SMC FA* 300mm F/2.8 ED IF K100D K10D IST on eBay Pendants, Lockets, Necklaces Pendants, Jewelry Watches

In category Jewelry & Watches > Necklaces & Pendants > Pendants, Lockets > 3-Stone > Diamond, Synthetic (Lab-grown)

_______________
Seller's payment instructions

Please read carefully!!!
First Step: Before you bid contact me first at ebay822@gmail.com as I will cancel the BID !!!

Second Step : PLEASE CONTACT ME DIRECTLY AT : ebay822@gmail.com INSTEAD OF USING "ASK THE SELLER A QUESTION" AS YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE A RESPONSE!
The Buy it Now price is 1000.00 GBP including shipping
ebay822@gmail.com with questions/comments/concerns

(so it' like the 822'th time they tried their thievery on eBay?)
_______________

Otherwise Ebay Seller stats:
Seller: vsop99( 1161)
Feedback: 99.9% Positive

After a few e-mails back & forth:

- So called Seller will not put up a Buy It Now.
- So called Seller will only take payment through Western Union
- All of that is inconsistent with previous sales

I personally think that seller's account was hacked/commandeered. Sucks vspo99 will end up with a locked eBay account because of this.

Looks like eBay got rid of the auction

For what you posted above, it looked like a classic account hijacking attempt.

Looks like it switched from vspo99 to another account.

[edit]
Seems they are targetting with 24hour listings.

Marketplace Safety Tip
Never pay for your eBay item using instant cash transfer services such as Western Union or MoneyGram or by recharging someone's prepaid credit card. These methods are not safe to pay people you do not know personally.

In addition, these payment methods are not eligible for the eBay buyer protection programs.
