😁 Have you noticed on the eBay the category for v710 are always something different then electronics or phones. The last one I saw on eBay was under the category of music /accessorie. Doesn't raise suspicion about the phone? 😈

Yes, please don't bid.

This is the same ass who's been hijacking eBay accounts and offering these phones (that he doesn't have) -- the pattern is similar, where he'll ask you to contact him outside of eBay for a quick response.

eBay emailed me earlier in the week, explaining what this guy was up to. They're doing what they can, but rely upon people to report the problem, too.

This is the email you will see on from the sender:

My name is MARIUS VALENTIN NISIPEANU and I represent a small but serious company in BUCURESTI, (Romania), but I'm from the USA. In order to handle this deal on good terms I would like to inform you of a few things.

1. All items are brand new, have never been opened, have an international warranty provided by the factory, and come with all the necessary accesories (charger,battery,headset,manual,cables....)
2. SHIPMENT - This is something you shouldn't worry about because I believe it is my responsibility to deliver the items safely to your home.We can do it one of two ways. Either way I will pay for all related shipping expenses. I can send the package: -UPS overnight or -FedEX o...

Yes, that's the same pattern. It was "Alexandru Paul" before -- so I gather it's very easy to use a fake ID in Romania!

I engaged this guy in an email debate about business practice, and he really tried hard to convince me that this was legit. Then eBay emailed me to confirm that this was a known scammer. What a turd!

the guy was soo silly (he copied and pasted the specs part from phonescoop) that when he copied the specs form phonescoop.com he didnt even take off the links. so when you click it it takes you to the phonescoop site ..LOL! then in the description he says the phone is unlocked. lol I never new CDMa phones where ever locked. and there are still people silly enough to bid for it.

Don't buy things overseas it is tough and it can't be insured and it legally has to go through customs when it is over a certain amount. So only a big company would go through all that who deals with shipments to the USA on a regular basis.

I once soled something on ebay to someone in canada being ignorant of how difficult it is. The carrier I sent it through (UPS) said I could only insure it up to $99 anything over that has to go through customs and is more of an involved process. So it was a chance I took that one time because I already promised but will not do again.

I just spoke to the owner of the ebay account for item 40216038 v710 in Pismo California. They replied stating that there account has been hijacked and that they had no such phone for sale. I hope nobody has sent money to this person in Europe. This is definately a scam. I have sent an email to security division and to Western Union security division regarding this. I hope this helps.
