I have been finding many many scam listings in rifle scopes. They all have the same MO. New sellers. One item for sale. Free shipping. 5 to 10 available. Dirt cheap. Buy it now. Florida location. I report them as I find them and it is easy to spot. Many people purchase them before they are taken down if they are taken down at all. I see that it has been hundreds of listings when I check the sold listings. I'm sure this happens in other catagories but I just happened to be looking for a scope. WOW! I try to help by reporting them but it is frustrating when I see them just sitting there and people purchasing the items.

They could be cheap off brands from china. I would think if people had bought any of them and never recieved them, they would of reported them to ebay. Thats a good example why you should always check the sellers feedback and purchase with caution from someone with no feedbacks

Fell prey to such a scam about 2 years ago. Asked for a rebate from the seller. End product: No scope, no rebate. Too bad for me as I gave the seller too much time (60 days) to fulfill his end of the deal...sent 4-5 messages his way. Ebay guarantee expired after 30 days, I think it was. Seller flew the coop and I was stuck for full cost of the scope. Hard lesson to learn. Only time I can remember being scammed on Ebay.
