ISTR most of the scams on eBay involved an African link at one time. There still are quite a number of sellers who specifically state they will not send items to some African (and certain other) countries. I myself (as well as people I know) have been contacted in the past by African scammers after the end of some auctions which I have shown an interest in. Admittedly that was some time ago and eBay have tightened things up in more recent times to make it more difficult for the scammers to know the names of people who might be bidding on items. Rob |
