Another eBay scam

Earlier today I received a 2nd chance offer for a expensive piece of equipment, and the email said to contact to seller directly. Instead of replying to the email, I contacted the seller through the auction. Before I got a reply, I received another 2nd chance offer, for the same auction, from a different email address, so I sent a 2nd email to the seller. He just replied that neither email came from him. The item up for auction did not sell previously because the reserve was not met. He was contacted by a woman who sent a Western Union money order in reply to another bogus 2nd chance order she received. Fortunately, she was able to stop payment and she got her money back.

My wife is so disappointed. She found this auction for a top of the line sewing machine that she has wanted for some time,and it comes with all the extras,had very little use, and it sold for half the price of a new machine. She found the machine, lost the machine, found the machine again, and lost it again, all within 24 hrs. sad
