I contacted on Friday the seller of a ULS M-300 for more images of the machine. He sent them to me and told me to give him a price. So I told him $6K, he actually said yes (flag 1) that machine should go for more. So he sent me an email if I could pay through http://www.ill-trade.net . So thank God I have a trained eye for cyber crime, and spotted a couple of items wrong in the site. So I investigated and the website was registered on Sept 15th 2006, WOW at the same time the auction went up??? (3 flags for that one)
While the guy could have also been the victim of the bad escrow company. He has the disadvantage of putting the auction at the same time the domain was registered on the web. And since I asked him yesterday about it, I have not heard from him.
SO DON'T BID on that item, or at least be VERY carefull on how you pay for it if you did.
I already reported it to Ebay, so perhaps the listing will be off soon.

Just a reminder that we all need to be very carefull online.

P.S. Jeff Ostroff from CarBuyingTips.com whom has helped in shutting down such escrow fakers, comfirmed that the template on the site is a common one used by those guys.
