Scam

many buyers are entering eBay to scam, they offer you an item and ask you to get in touch and then they ask you if you can send them a gift card along with the item to which they make the offer and they send you a fake email PayPal and there they steal your money

Re: Scam

And not one of these scammers live in USA, all overseas working out of net cafes with VOIP numbers.  Even call display can be faked these days.

If I were an American scammer, I would want it to appear that I was overseas.
